Inspired by a summertime twist on a classic cocktail, this blackberry gin and tonic pound cake is a delightful anytime treat or gift to share with friends! I love it when one food inspires another in a completely unrelated category. Sometimes the best ideas in the kitchen, and life in general, happen at the most arbitrary times. Take this bread for example. It’s just a variation on a classic quick…
Skip the sugar and enjoy these honey scones sweetened naturally with local honey. They’re even better the next day, so great to make in advance for brunch! I recently deleted the Facebook app from my phone, and I don’t plan to add it again. In fact, I’ve stepped away from a lot of social media at the moment. I still post some for the blog, of course, but personally, I’ve…
Honey roasted rhubarb olive oil muffins – lightly sweetened olive oil muffins are studded with tart sweet honey roasted bites of rhubarb. One of the top pantry staples I cannot live without is a laaaaaaarge bottle of olive oil. My mother always bought the biggest bottle at the store, so did her mother, and so do I. You look for the largest bottle of good quality extra virgin olive oil…
A sweet roll worthy of The King of Rock and Roll, these peanut butter, banana, and bacon delights are aptly titled, Elvis Sweet Rolls. This Elvis sweet rolls recipe was 3 years and 90 minutes in coming. A few years back, when I was toying with the idea of a serious food blog instead of a home bakery, I started testing recipes. One day, a craving for cinnamon rolls struck…
The perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar takes this breakfast favorite to the fair! Churro bagels are a perfect sweet breakfast treat, and leftovers freeze well for later. I didn’t know this, but the Godfather and I grew up bagel snobs! Apparently, it’s what happens when one is raised in an area like South Florida with plenty of ex-New Yorkers who demand decent bagels. When I talk about “decent bagels”,…
Gluten free and refined sugar free, this paleo banana bread still feels indulgent. With a great texture, it’s a tasty breakfast treat or snack. I keep one and a half lists of recipe ideas at any given time. One and a half at the moment, but I’m slowly merging the two for simplicity’s sake. “Merging” the lists mainly means that I’m working through what’s left on one so I can go…
Sweet and salty are a wonderful combination and make these maple bacon doughnuts a treat that won’t last long! I’m getting a little antsy to start posting the fall recipes, clearly. I have a few summer-ish recipes still coming, but the weather is starting to show the first signs of cooling (some days) and college football just started. So… fall flavors it is! And from the looks of it, maple…
Apple butter and cinnamon are two of my favorite fall flavors. I’ve combined them in these apple butter cinnamon rolls! Do you know what I just realized darlings? Cinnamon rolls have a season for me, as I seem to make them most in the autumn! Well, at least I tend to make them mostly with autumn flavors mixed in (like these pumpkin cinnamon rolls). In full disclosure, these apple butter…
It feels like summer started 5 minutes ago, and yet here I am making sure all the school supplies are ready for Princess A’s first year of pre-school. To the seasoned parents, this may not seem like much, but two days a week is a big step for us. I’m so excited for this new chapter. I’ve always loved back to school preparations! To get in the spirit and help…
