blackberry cream cheese kolaches
Happy September! Hope you are doing well considering how 2020 is shaping up to be thus far! Hang in there! 😉 I made these three times. I wasn’t planning to, but somehow “third time’s the charm” always seems to apply whenever I’m trying out a new recipe. This utility pole with a “3” sign on…

citrus blueberry muffins
I based the recipe on a basic muffin recipe from The Art and Soul of Baking by Cindy Mushet, but decided I didn’t want dairy or have enough dairy anyway, so instead just used extra virgin olive oil and some oat milk instead of butter and regular milk. I also decreased the sugar in the…

blueberry crunch bars
These came about because we saw dehydrated blueberries for sale at Costco. And we thought, why not. Then it ended up sitting in our cupboard for a few months. I had made cookies with dried blueberries and Rice Krispies cereal, and so I thought, why not make them into bars this time? This time around,…

pistachio cranberry pretzels
December is here! I wanted to make something that was only slightly sweet and with only small hints of the red and green colors of the upcoming holiday. Because that’s how I roll. I figured the next few weeks, we will see a bombardment of all things red and green. I tend to prefer the…

wild blackberry croissant bread pudding
Okay, I’ll be honest. This recipe could be made simpler by using all store bought ingredients, but where’s the fun in that? Part of the fun, I think, is tasting the literal fruits of your labor! And I know it may not be always possible to forage for berries in the wild, but if you…

buckwheat chocolate cherry muffins
How are you doing? It’s Summertime in the Pacific Northwest! Which means fresh cherries, and my favorite combo–Chocolate and Cherry! And a buckwheat experiment. And still have a few more cups of buckwheat, so stay tuned. I think the last time I had buckwheat was in the form of cold buckwheat soba noodles served with a…

cherry rye hot cross buns
This is based on 101 cookbooks’ recipe for Black Bread, substituting the carrots and caraway seeds with dried sour cherries. This came about because I’ve been wanting to make hot cross buns, but also wanting to use more rye and whole grains in my bread baking, so this is the culmination of those two goals. I…

japanese cheesecake
I’ve seen this around for a few years, made it once before for someone’s birthday, but this time I wanted to try out my smaller springform (7-inch diameter) pan that has been waiting patiently in my cupboard to be used. I initially thought this would be a good size for making a dessert for two,…
