Two Ingredient Lemon Sorbet

So the photo depicts a mash-up of what’s been in the fridge and is now deemed “parfait ready.” There was a lemon olive oil cake that fell in the middle, some gorgeous berries, a bit of squirty cream…and the new STAR of the show, two ingredient lemon sorbet. Don’t forget to save your lemon vessels;…

No Knead Honey Oat Bread

I’m hitting the pandemic trends so late that I guess they are essentially new ones. No sourdough starters here, just an easy, breezy boule that keeps well for four to five days after you’ve enjoyed Honey, oaty, crunchy, chewy goodness. That’s my drag name. No Knead Honey Oat Bread

Orange Ricotta Cookies

In an effort not to waste a container of ricotta that was nearly out of date, I whipped up a batch of Cooking Classy’s Orange Ricotta Cookies. Game changer! The gentleman has been inhaling them as their chocolate and bright combo is sure to make any dreary winter day better. Find my slight modifications below…

Olive Oil Lemon Cake

Recently I made the simplest, most glorious cake from The View from Great Island. First time on that site and it definitely will have me back for more. This cake is unbelievably lemony and moist. It’s lasted well for four days and tastes as good as the day of the bake. Sure to be in…

Pear Tart with Rum, Brown Butter, & Pecans

The last weekend of the year that we would be at home has already come and gone somehow! In celebration of the new house and trying a new recipe perhaps a little more labor intensive than the usual, I turned to David Lebovitz’s tried and true tome, “Ready for Dessert.” In a mood for pears,…

Chocolate Hazelnut Tart

Happy Thanksgiving! Thankful for a myriad of things in particular this year, also for anyone whose taken a moment to follow my adventures in planes, trains, and kitchens. Wishing you a gorgeously delicious one, my loves! Not much for chocolate, but finding myself making tons of choco desserts these days… I was even more suprised…

Chocolate Nanaimo Bars

Not one for chocolately desserts usually, these Nanaimo bars blew me away! I made them as part of a cafe gourmand experience that I was putting together and they’ll definitely be back for the regular, bar cookie rotation. Chocolate Nanaimo Bars First Layer Second Layer (Note: full recipe below, next time I would consider halving…

NYT Lemon Tart- M&M Edition

Looking for a somewhat light dessert to complement my French dinner party, I opted for the very well reviewed New York Times Lemon Tart recipe. Little did I read far enough that the star of this show should be Meyer lemons which I did not locate in Indiana in spring. Regular ole’ lemons it would…

On Valentine’s Day Ina Makes Us a Lemony Cheesecake

A lover of all holidays, Valentine’s Day has always struck me as one of the silliest, but somehow also loveliest. Hater of heart shapes, lover of romance this one was self-love in theme and started with a full 8 hours of sleep followed by winning a writing contest (shocking, I’m sure). Not romantic externally in…

Loaded Biscuits

Loaded biscuits, biscuit bombs, cheddar-apple-bacon-chive biscuits, clean-out-the-fridge biscuits. Would a biscuit by any other name smell as savory? Whatever you call them, hop to it for a winter morning loaded in biscuity indulgence. Loaded Biscuits

Super Model Project: White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Rarely a cookie recipe comes along – from a supermodel, no less- that truly blows your mind. This recipe is absolute, indulgent perfection! Sweet, salty, crunchy, chewy… Ms. Teigan nails it, the it being my waist line, but totally worth ‘it.’ Chrissy’s White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Blueberry-Lemon Yogurt Cake

My go-to coffee cake recipe received a small makeover this morning involving one lemon that really elevated the recipe a bit. It’s amazing how lemons make absolutely everything better. When life gives you lemons, toss them into a tried and true recipe.
