• 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 […]

• garlic rolls

  

  Greetings! I know garlic confit sounds a little fancy, but it’s basically slow cooking a bunch of peeled garlic cloves in oil in a 200 degree F. oven to bring out their sweetness as well as make them soft and spreadable. This takes about 2 hours in the oven, though, so if you’d rather not, […]

• chicken and waffles

  

  You may or may not notice that this is a recipe is from a blog post I did several years ago. For about a year, I’ve been wanting to do spot checks on my blog posts to make sure the recipes were not only written correctly, but also whether I’d make any changes to them. […]

• bread pudding muffins

  

  How much do I love these? Let me count the ways… I know I often start out a blog post saying that whatever I made turned out really good or better than what I was expecting, but for these bread pudding muffins, it’s TRUE! 😀 I think it’s because I made sure to do the […]

• banana rum cake

  

  Good Morning! Ben and I are celebrating one of our anniversaries! Today is the anniversary of the day we met, sixteen years ago! Crazy, huh? Even though we also have a wedding anniversary every June and usually do not have big celebrations with either, this one feels more special to us. I think because for […]

• The Nutty Irish Dutch Baby

  

  This recipe is based on a cocktail called the Nutty Irishman, which is Irish whiskey and Frangelico, but it is really just a small German Pancake. The term Dutch Baby stems from “Deutsche Pfannkuchen”, which translates to German Pancakes. A restaurant in the 1900s Seattle, owned by Victor Manca and called Manca’s, offered them on […]

• banana caramel bread pudding

  

  I know what you are thinking: Why on earth would you make a loaf of yeast risen banana bread for the sole purpose of turning it into a banana bread pudding? Wouldn’t it have been easier to just add bananas to a traditional bread pudding recipe? The answer is: Because I had time, and yes, […]

• rosehip nut bread

  

  Okay, I promise this is the last time you’ll be seeing rosehips here. Haha! Lessons learned from a overeager weekend forager: Rugosa rosehips may seem ripe, but if you wait a few more weeks, their colors deepen even more, and they get a little softer. Debate is still out whether their flavor deepens, too, although […]

• italian plum cobbler

  

  I keep wanting to type ‘pudding’ instead of ‘cobbler’ for this recipe, but I don’t know why, lol. This is sort of a cakey version of a cobbler, adapted from here. If there has been one clear benefit since working from home and thus having more time to walk around and explore my ‘hood, it’s […]
