    zucchini bread

    I’m sorry I haven’t been around to see and like of all your amazing blog posts! The last 3 or 4 months, I’ve been spending a lot of time painting. This zucchini bread only happened because we had received a gift of zucchini from someone who had a lot of zucchini to give. The end…

    brown butter pulboron (polvoron)

    Making pulboron will always take me back to the memory of how my lola (grandmother) first introduced them to us. I was about 4 or 5 and my lola showed us her pulboron mold in our kitchen and from there just started to make them right in front of us. It was almost like watching…

    elvis fluffernutter cookies

    These cookies are made with brown butter, mashed bananas, maple and vanilla extracts, raw honey, chopped bacon, peanut butter, peanut brittle, and mini marshmallows! It’s based on two sandwiches, the Elvis (bacon, bananas, marshmallow, and sometimes honey), and the fluffernutter (peanut butter and marshmallow). I decided to go with less flour and to brown the…

    Happy December! What a year it has been! Over the past year, I’ve been perfecting how to make a humongous loaf of banana bread using a Pullman loaf pan. I’ve probably made one of these once every other month for the past year. I bring them in to work. I have a lot of coworkers.…

    pistachio madeleines

    Aaargghh! I got the flu bug. At least getting the flu shot back in October seems to have helped somewhat. I don’t seem to be having any gastrointestinal issues. Very grateful for that. But that’s why you’re seeing another post from me within the same month. My blog rule for this year was to just post…

  • sweet fougasse

    sweet fougasse

    Fougasse is really just the French equivalent of Italian focaccia bread. As with focaccia, they can be made with various ingredients and can easily be made sweet or savory, depending on mood or occasion. Today I decided to make sweet ones. I like this recipe because it makes just the right amount for two large…

  • saffron madeleines

    saffron madeleines

    “I’m just mad about saffron…saffron’s mad about me…” Actually, I don’t know if I can say I’m mad about saffron, but I think these are quite rightly delicious! Just think of them as little personal cakes that you don’t need to feel guilty about. One or two isn’t going to ruin whatever diet goal you may have…

    brown butter nutmeg cake

    Some couples decide to have two anniversary dates–one for their wedding day, and another for the day they met. Do you celebrate both? That’s what Ben and I do. More cake for us. Haha! 11 years ago tonight, I met him at a crowded bar. He actually came in with a tall guy that I…
