    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…

  • Banana Raspberry Bread

    Banana Raspberry Bread

    A couple of days ago, Ben said that I never bake anything anymore that is specifically for him, and that I always giveaway stuff for other people, like my coworkers. So today I got up and decided to make something that’s all for him.

    We are experiencing more typical Seattle weather, finally! Which is nice. I mean, I like the dry and sunny summery days we’ve been having, but this is Seattle, and it is winter, dammit.

Café Presse is a small French restaurant and bar just east of the downtown area, right on the border between Capitol Hill and First Hill.…

    Maple Bacon Snack Cake

    I know putting bacon in sweet things isn’t anything new, but since making the chocolate whiskey bacon crunch cake, I thought it was time for  simpler dessert with bacon. There are a lot of examples on the internet of some good cake with bacon in it; some have bacon in the cake or in the…

  • Hawaiian Bread French Toast

    Hawaiian Bread French Toast

    This is what I had for breakfast. My sister came over and brought the french toast that she is starting to get a reputation for. She baked it off in our oven, and we had it with eggs and bacon. It was perfect. I think it’s based on this recipe, but with vanilla instead of…
