Luckily for me, the one that got away was not the love of my life (he just left for work, actually). In fact, my peach yogurt cake slipped out the door this morning along with Husband without making it first to the photo shoot. For the visually centered, imagine a pineapple upside-down cake. Remove pineapple,…
Bring in the New Year Bundt
I’m very happy to announce that Husband and I are finally home after our long holiday trip. As predicted, the mothers, kitchen queens that they are. fed us well, from coconut flan to steaks to my favorite split pea soup and enough sugary treats to last the year long. Arriving home last evening to a…
One Cookie, Two Cookies
Holidays are fantastic. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, and I love getting into the holiday spirit with traditional and jazzy tunes, festive towels (one of my only Christmas decorations to date), adorable fuzzy snowman socks, and of course, the quintessential Christmas cookie! While I’d check most of these items off the list…
Better than Fruitcake Cookies
What’s the most universally dreaded item gifted on a holiday sweets platter? The fruitcake, of course! Now, I’m not one for fruitcake but last night Food Network ran a holiday special with a woman determined to convince us that fruitcake can be tasty. After watching her cream butter and mix in REAL dried fruits (cherries,…
Biscotti Bakeoff with Mrs. Kringle!
Back by popular demand: Chocolate Chip Espresso Biscotti! This weekend Husband and I are attending one of our favorite events of the year, a cookie open-house. Imagine hours of relaxing surrounded by plates and plates, platters, and pots full of every type of cookie imaginable…and then some, shooting the breeze with good friends, filling up…
Cinnamon Roll Muffins
Joy the Baker has a knack for taking our favorite treats and making them quick-fix favorites. A few weeks ago I baked scrumptious shortcut cinnamon roll muffins that she´d posted (originally from BakingBites). The clever ingenuity behind these muffins is that they are practically identical to their spiral twice-risen yeasty cousin, but with much less…
Apple Gingerbread Muffins
With one small Red Delicious in the refrigerator, I had to think pretty small scale for this month’s challenge. I’ve hit the muffin jackpot with this one: the apple gingerbread cupcake. This gem of a muffin has warm spicy tones highlighted by tender chunks of apple throughout. The muffin is moist and delicate, with warm…
(Almost) Fat-free Vegan Lemon Pie
My husband LOVES lemon pies. He cannot get enough of them. To make his day cheerier and try a daring new recipe, I baked for him (and work colleagues) an almost fat-free vegan lemon pie. The original recipe comes from Susan at Fat Free Vegan, who shares this recipe, alongside another for calamondin pie. Her…
Holiday Friendly Banana Bread
Dear Friends, I realize we’re all in the same boat this holiday season, concerned about our dryers mysteriously shrinking our favorite jeans, double chin reappearances, and maintaining a svelte silhouette to impress relatives who can’t keep comments to themselves. With these things in mind, may I introduce you to your new autumn pre-Thanksgiving and December…
Cheesecake Thumbprints
What’s the easiest way to use up cream cheese icing? Make it into the creamy cheesecake filling for these delicious cheesecake thumbprints, of course! I had loads of leftover cream cheese frosting from the red velvet loaf, and refused to see it go to waste. Husband, of course, had “better” ideas of how to use…
