Cinnamon cream cheese scones with a brown butter glaze. I know this sounds like a lot. It is. But it’s also a lot of flavors that meld together in the best way. I debated calling these cheesecake scones because they almost melt in your mouth the way cheesecake does but they aren’t quite right for…
There are a million ways to spice up a brownie. You can add cookies or candy or fruit. You can frost them or add extra chocolate. It’s hard to go wrong. These peanut butter stuffed brownies combine peanut butter and chocolate which is always such a good pairing. They have a creamy peanut butter layer…
I’m not much for cake. I’m sure you’ve noticed if you have looked around this website. So red velvet cake is just not something I’m going to make. But if you want to make a red dessert, it’s the go to. But cookies? Cookies are always welcome on my plate or dessert menu. So I…
These little cuties are here just in time for Valentine’s Day. Now, could you make cinnamon rolls? Yes. But would these heart shaped raspberry rolls be better? I think so. These rolls are a soft brioche style bread, filled with raspberry jam or preserves and topped with a white chocolate cream cheese glaze. I love…
Everything pretzel knots are here, and they are here to win your taste buds over. Who doesn’t love a good soft pretzel? I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t. Because honestly what’s not to like. What do pretzels have in common with bagels? If you’ve never made either of them, I’ll let you…
This creamy goat cheese, cinnamon and cranberry star bread is going to rocket up your repeat bake list. Star bread is such a showstopper when it comes to desserts and breads. It looks so much harder to make than it is. If you can make cinnamon rolls or babka, you can make star bread. Even…
To me, Christmas sugar cookies are the first cookie I think of during the holidays. It’s what my mom always made, and my sister and I to help decorate with sprinkles. They are simple but delicious and just sing Christmas to me. I love lots of cookies during the holidays. Everything from Chocolate Chip Cookies…
I’m sure most of you have had a peanut butter blossom before. Peanut butter cookie, Hershey’s kiss on top. If you haven’t they are delicious and delightful. I wanted to make a more festive version though. Mint chocolate blossoms felt right. To me, chocolate and mint – while I happily eat it year round –…
If you know me, you know scones are a love language for me. I love eating them (good ones) and I love baking them. I love creating unique flavors or recreating the flavors of other baked goods in scone format. When I made these chocolate orange scones, I didn’t know that chocolate orange was a…
I feel like you’re either a gingerbread person or you’re not. People tend to feel strongly about it. I was always kind of in the no man’s land of the middle or take it or leave it. Didn’t love it or hate it. But, I think I may be in the love it camp now…
Fudge is one of those things that reminds me of summer. We would always go to Washington in the summers to visit my grandparents, and inevitably end up at Pike Place. There was a good fudge shop there and we would buy some before going home. One of the types of fudge my mom would…
Pesto parmesan bagels are not a common flavor and I don’t know why. They have the salty cheesy umami flavor that is perfection. Slather some cream cheese on and you have like all the flavors and textures. I am one of those people who prefers a local small business to a chain. There is NOTHING…
If you love pumpkin, I won’t lie to you and tell you these pumpkin maple dinner rolls are like taking a bite of pumpkin pie. They aren’t. That being said, they bring great flavor and beautiful color to these super soft and fluffy rolls. These things are jumbo as well. These rolls are soft and…
When I was a kid, I distinctly remember being at a sleepover and we made a dip of peanut butter, honey and cinnamon to go on apples and probably ritz crackers. Cinnamon and peanut butter might potentially sound like a strange combo. I know it did to me back then, but you’ll have to trust…
Imagine a charcuterie board if you will. Who are the players? Cheese obviously because cheese is wonderful and most of us love it. Then you have your cured meats. Salami, sausage, and probably a prosciutto. Then some nuts, maybe some grapes, and then cap it with carbs. Whether it’s crackers or crostini. But most of…
