I make peach cobbler every summer and for years this Bon Appetit recipe has been my go-to. This year I thought I’d try a different variation, and this one is adapted from Dorie Greenspan’s Everyday Dorie. I find drop-biscuit cobblers perfect for summer, but I’m not gonna lie; I’m […]
These miso chocolate chip cookies are delightful. I love a salty-sweet combo (like pineapple on pizza. yes, I like pineapple on pizza!!), and the miso here adds a lovely and subtle salty, earthy taste to the cookies. This recipe is a typical chocolate chip cookie […]
I love the simplicity of cornbread. It’s mostly basic ingredients and a basic preparation, and yet it can be a side to a chili on a cold winter night or a bright dessert on a hot summer day. We all have a trusted family recipe and […]
This blog has featured a fair amount of banana breads, like this one, or this one. You’d think there’d be enough banana bread recipes at some point, but apparently when it comes to banana bread, the limit does not exist. This Banana Bread with Dates […]
I made these cookies a few weeks ago, back when fall was in full swing. Fast forward to now, when everyone’s busy baking gingerbread cookies, I thought, well, better late than never. It’s still pumpkin season after all, and the recipe does call for ginger, […]
Peach season is not officially over until late September, and that’s great news because it means you still have time to try this gorgeous Fresh Peach Cake. An Ina Garten’s recipe, it’s truly phenomenal and flawless. The combination of fresh peaches, cinnamon and nuts and […]
Summer came and went and in the meantime I have managed to completely neglect this blog. Has anyone noticed that? Oh well, this past month I’ve been avoiding the thought altogether. I’ve been blissfully ignoring my failures and my shortcomings. Instead of worrying about my […]
Self-identifying as a dessert person, I don’t believe desserts are evil. As Claire Saffitz puts it, no meal is complete without something sweet at the end. There’s always room for dessert. When I find practical recipes that have no processed sugars, are gluten-free, and dairy-free […]
June is prime time for strawberries, and sure, I can’t resist getting them in the middle of January or when they first start populating grocery stores when spring comes around, but out of season they’re for the most part just tolerable. When finally in season, […]
I’m always thrilled to find healthy-ish desserts, like these Oatmeal Almond Cookie Sandwiches. Although technically, I never need an excuse to indulge in desserts. I’m usually very pleased to satisfy my sweet tooth, whatever it takes. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that what is […]
I welcome any excuse to have my apartment smell like a strawberry patch. Although it’s not quite summer yet, it’s on its way. Strawberries are here, letting us know it’s coming, evoking summer memories, preparing us for new ones. As a June baby, I’ve always […]
Somehow, very very unintentionally, I ended up taking over a week off! But I’m back with a bang: Sesame Banana Bread. I’ve been heading for burnout and after ignoring it for weeks, my body just had enough. I was forced to take a break. It […]
There’s one thing you should know about me: I bake a lot. I love desserts, I make a lot of desserts. Although I rarely share dessert recipes on here, it’s an integral part of my routine – but if you want to see them, they’re […]
Look at us being all cute. Cherry pie for your Valentine! Personally, Valentine’s Day is just another excuse for me to make heart-shaped desserts (like these cute donuts), so I obviously had to make a pie and put lots of hearts on it. And she’s […]
Did you think I was done baking cookies? Never!! But okay, fine, these are the last ones lol. I did save the best for last, though. These Hazelnut Sandwich Cookies are absolutely delightful. The hazelnut ganache is super rich and nutty. The cookies, buttery, tender […]
