• healthier chocolate cake

  

  This chocolate cake has a few unusual things about it: There is a fair amount of oat bran in it. It also uses two apples that you puree with some molasses and coffee first. Lastly, there are a few healthier substitutions that keep it from being too decadent: whole wheat flour instead of cake flour, […]

• gingerbread scones

  

  Even though the King Arthur Flour recipe that I used for inspiration is for ginger scones, not gingerbread scones, I went with the same spice combination, minus the coriander–ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper–but I upped the amount of butter mixed into the dough and also added some whole wheat flour into the […]

• whole wheat bread

  

  I have to focus on what flours I still have that I didn’t use as often before, because I am now almost completely out of all-purpose flour. It is no longer common to see bags of all-purpose flour in our grocery stores or even bread flour! The only flours that are not being bought at […]

• cocoles de anis

  

  This is my take on a very traditional pan dulce mexicano. Cocoles de Piloncillo y Anis is probably the oldest type of bread that still exists and is still being made in all parts of Mexico. It is traditionally made with wheat flour, milk, eggs, and some local ingredients. I took liberties with the recipe […]

• black sesame cookies

  

  Happy Autumn! I was hoping to be making something a little more autumnal, like something with apples, pears, and/or pumpkin spice, but I sort of ran out of steam, and out of fresh ideas. Plus I made a drier more crumbly version of these last week, which I didn’t like, so I felt I needed […]

• purple sweet potato bread

  

  (This was actually made a few weeks ago, but since I'm on vacation, I thought I'd post it now) Truth be told, I went to Seafood City hoping to buy Ube, or Filipino Purple Yam, and instead ended up getting Okinawan sweet potatoes by mistake! I was just going by what the signs said. And […]

  Remember this little ditty? This commercial jingle for Almond Joy and Mounds candy bars from the 70s and 80s? If you were what was called a latchkey kid, meaning you had to spend long hours home alone after school because your parent(s) worked, you were sure to have had this jingle etched into your brain, if not […]

• banana tahini muffins

  

  A question. At what point does an ingredient get to be part of the name for the recipe? Does it need to be a prominent flavor component? Does it need to be a certain percentage of the overall weight of the finished product? I won’t bore you with the details, but today I had the […]

• orange ginger carrot cake

  

  Hey! I had the day off, because I usually prefer to take a day off to go to my dentist, only I spaced out and forgot to set an appointment in time, so I just ended up not having anything planned. Except to make this! This was based off of, believe it or not, that famous […]
