Friends, this one is a good one. It’s a perfect summery scone recipe that is both a delicious breakfast treat or a perfect dessert. Strawberry White Chocolate Chunk scones. Now normally I love raspberry and white chocolate together, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pair any old berry or fruit with it. I know milk…
I wasn’t sure what to call these nut butter blondies because they are a combination of brown butter, cashew butter, and then topped with cashews and chocolate chips. Brown butter blondies? Cashew butter blondies? Neither would really explain the taste accurately. And let me tell you, they are sooo good. Like most bar type desserts,…
So this is going to be a super simple summer (or really anytime) recipe. Really just 3 ingredients, or 4/5 if you are feeling a little extra. I’m sure many of you are familiar with a White Russian. Maybe you love them, maybe you love The Big Lebowski, maybe both. This is somewhat similar but…
Vanilla cream scones are what started this blog. I set out to recreate a scone from a bakery and then decided to tackle bread while I was at it. When it comes to scones, I am very picky. I think anyone who loves scones, and who has had an actual good one is too. Once…
Brown butter cinnamon rolls are here to change your life. A good cinnamon roll is a requirement in life. Now for these ones, I feel I’ve upped the stakes. Is it brown butter? Or browned butter? Both seem acceptable and interchangeable. I feel like browned butter is technically correct but most people seem to use…
Brown butter brioche is a buttery, rich, sliceable loaf that needs nothing else to enjoy it with but is fantastic for morning treats like French toast. Brioche is a very rich buttery bread. It can be a little sweet sometimes, and it’s somewhat similar to challah (which doesn’t use butter and is usually kosher). Some…
Sweet orange focaccia is a sweetened dessert version of the traditional Italian bread. Fresh orange and cream create an almost cake that is bright and creamy and sweet. Traditional focaccia is a savory bread, often enjoyed with pasta or made into sandwiches. It’s fluffy and light, with a crisp exterior. It’s wonderful and easy to…
I grew up part of my life in a town with one stoplight. There wasn’t even a grocery store in town. And yet, I’m a gal who loves me a GOOD bagel. Grocery store ones are alright, but I need that NYC style chew and flavor. How did I get such boujee taste in bagels?…
I have been a photographer for about 20 years. Doesn’t seem possible, but apparently it is. 20 years ago I was just a teenager with a camera but I knew I wanted to be a photographer as a career, and I was learning about composition and signing up for photography classes. For a long time…
Now, I should start by saying you obviously don’t need to use an iPhone. Whatever phone with a camera will work. I’m going to give you some very basic tips on how to get your best foodie photos with the camera you already have. Now, this is mainly for those of you just getting started,…
Focaccia. It’s one of the greats when it comes to bread, and this overnight focaccia is a total babe. Italy has quite a few of my favorite breads, and I think they generally are just on point when it comes to carbs. I have been to Italy, and while I had at least a sandwich…
Brown sugar cookies are going to be something that tastes very familiar even though you may have never had them. Really they are just chocolate chip cookies with no chocolate chips. I have worked on them a bit to make the flavors stand out a bit more on their own. I promise you won’t miss…
I wake up every morning and have a chai latte. It’s my daily tea of choice, because I love a spiced black tea. If these chai sweet rolls were on the menu every morning, I’d happily indulge in both for a double boost of chai goodness. I love the spices and warmth, even on warm…
The name of these double chocolate peanut butter pretzel cookies is a mouthful, I’m quite aware. However there’s not really a better way to name them. I had considered just sweet n’ salty cookies but that doesn’t convey all the goodness inside. Whether you love chocolate, chocolate and peanut butter, regular and white chocolate, chocolate…
When you think of bread or muffins using something for moisture, you probably think of banana. I am a banana hater (sorry not sorry) so you will not find any banana recipes on this site. However, zucchini I adore. I also drink a chai latte most mornings. So how can I further improve my breakfast…
