croque madame bread pudding
Greetings! This is a bread pudding version of a French dish that is basically a ham and cheese sandwich served hot with extra cheese, a Bechamel sauce, and a sunny side egg on top. I wanted to make a bread pudding recipe that looked more orderly and layered the bread with the other ingredients, rather […]

candy cap mushroom blondies
Happy Friday! If you’ve never heard of candy cap mushrooms, they are a mushroom found in the wild along the US West coast and in Maine and are unique in that they give off a scent and flavor similar to maple syrup, and thus are used in both sweet and savory recipes. I bought them […]

pear hazelnut and chocolate muffins
Just a simple muffin recipe to showcase the wonderful combination of pear, hazelnuts, and chocolate! Feel free to use larger chocolate chips. I can’t even remember what I made last that necessitated buying a bag of these mini chocolate chips, but I think they work very well here; the smaller chips get distributed more evenly […]

simple sesame cookies
These sesame cookies take less than 30 minutes to make from start to finish and do not have too many ingredients. The sesame seeds contain an amino acid called tryptophan, which helps the human body make a neurotransmitter called serotonin, which helps the human mind feel at ease. But forget science, if you like sesame […]

hazelnut candy cap sandies
We recently made a trip to the Oregon Coast. Over the last few years, except for 2020, we’ve been consistently only going to two cities along the coast–Astoria and Seaside. One of the things I noticed this time around was a tourist shop that sells dried mushrooms, among the usual touristy stuff like t-shirts and […]

cinnamon walnut cookies
I didn’t want to brown all the butter, just half, in order to retain the qualities of the regular butter but to also have a hint of that nutty scent and flavor of the brown butter. The coffee, nutmeg, and walnuts all go really well with it. I wanted to make a cookie that was […]

fig gorgonzola walnut honey pizza
Greetings! This recipe is based on one I’ve made a few times over the last two decades. It’s originally from a book called Vegetarian Pizza, by James McNair. The only difference is I used a different recipe for the dough. Every time I made this in the past though, I’ve always used dried figs; I […]

montreal bagels
Having never gone to Montréal, the largest city in Canada’s Quebec province, I can’t confirm that these are the real deal. Plus, I deviated somewhat from the recipe being that I didn’t have all the ingredients. I didn’t have wheat malt syrup, so made what I hope is a close enough approximation of it using […]

mochi carrot cake
For me it’s all about the rice flour substitute. If it was just regular flour, this would be a rather plain carrot cake. I usually like my carrot cake to be very moist, with pineapple chunks, walnuts, maybe even a little rum, and coconut flakes. I’m really glad I added the spices. I wasn’t going […]
