• 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 […]

• Has it really been four years!?

  

  Because it’s been a little over four years since starting this blog, I wanted to share with you my favorite posts. I should clarify that these are my favorites, not necessarily favorites in terms of post clicks, numbers, or even in being popular among people in my life. Because that’s what it’s all about! It’s all […]

• kabocha ginger muffins

  

  Aaarrrghh!!!! Anyone else feel burned out and dejected? About…you know, right? I am still quite exhausted from this week. I cannot get over how most in my company assumed things would go a certain way. This has been creating so much stress and anxiety. I imagine it is very similar to Brexit. Oh well. I […]

  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. Rainy days and Mondays do not always get me down. Plus, it’s baking weather! Plus, the lighting on a rainy day is perfect! […]

• pear ginger muffins

  

  These muffins came about almost as soon as I collected the ingredients from the pantry and kitchen. I did have some crystallized candied ginger, so it was a given that they’d make their way into these muffins. This is a perfect recipe for a lazy afternoon. You simply cream the butter and sugars, add the […]

• Ginger Almond Brownies

  

  No, these are not potato chips with the brownies, although that might not be a bad combination, either. Today I emptied out my cupboard, to see what I could still use, and to throw away what has expired. I was saddened to see that I had about a pound’s worth of different chocolates–some in the […]

• Ginger cheesecake with caramel bananas

  

  Initially I thought that topping this cheesecake with candied crystallized ginger would be appropriate, but it turns out that bananas work much better with both the caramel and the cheesecake.    One substitute I did make from the original recipe, however, was to use Anna’s ginger thins instead of digestive biscuits, simply because I have […]

• Feeling A Little Bitter Gingerbread Muffins

    The reason for this title has to do with current events in U.S. government. I will say no more. This is based on a Betty Crocker recipe. I simply wanted to make  a basic gingerbread muffin that wasn’t too sweet, and I remember these not being too sweet. The only couple of things I did differently was […]

• Sweet Ginger Coconut Curry Donut Holes

  Since I’ve only used my cake pop maker  once, I decided to give it another go. But I wasn’t going to make cake pops, since that usually calls for leftover cake and icing, and little sticks that you have to put them on. Since I didn’t have any of that, I decided on cake balls. Only […]
