guava poppy seed donuts
After mentally going through three different baked donut recipes in my head, I finally decided to commit to this one, which is based on an apple cider donut recipe from Chef John of Food Wishes!

apple muffins
Happy New Year! It’s okay to still be saying that, right? It’s like saying “good morning” at 11:45 AM! I feel like posting one’s first blog post of the year in late January is sort of like the equivalent of being the last person in your neighborhood to take down your Christmas decorations!

cinnamon cardamom star bread
This is something I made to celebrate the winter solstice. I’ve seen this all over the internet, but decided to go with Sally’s Baking Addiction’s version here.

mississippi mud pie
This is not a difficult recipe, it’s just a little time consuming, because you do need to give each layer adequate time to set and get firmer before adding the next layer. If you did not wait to let it set, you may get messy results. After looking at a bunch of different recipes online, […]

apple pull apart rolls
Greetings! As soon as I saw these pull-apart rolls on the King Arthur website, I wanted to make them. For the boiled cider used in their recipe, I instead substituted 4 cups of apple juice that I reduced to 1/2 cup. I couldn’t find apple cider anywhere in the grocery stores around me, for some […]
