I enjoyed working at Milk Bar for a lot of reasons, but a big reason was that I got to take a lot of the baked goods home. Lots of ice cream being drained out at the end of the night, lots of cookies, a few cake slices. But the best of them all were…
Gingerbread Latte Cookies
I’ve never been a massive fan of gingerbread cookies, for two main reasons. 1) Most of them, like classic gingerbread men, are crunchy. Who wants a crunchy cookie?! 2) I was raised on Lebkuchen, which are soft gingerbread cookies that taste more complex than the crunchy American kind. And they often have glaze or chocolate…
Mushroom and Leek Galette
When I had pie crust leftover this summer, I made this Rustic Tomato Tarte. So naturally when I had pie crust leftover from my Thanksgiving Apple Pie, I wanted to make another savory dish, but this time with fall flavors. For Thanksgiving, I also made this Winter Vegetable Crumble from Joy the Baker that never…
Chai Scones
I recently made Taylor Swift’s Chai Cookies, and they did not disappoint. However, those cookies have been made and posted approximately one million times on the internet. So I wanted to do something a bit more original with them. I think there’s a ton of different riffs you could do with the cookies (different teas,…
Thanksgiving 2024: Butterscotch Apple Pie with Dutch Crumb
I know everyone has their own opinions on this, but I believe Thanksgiving is the best holiday. At least, the way my family does it. We go to Door County, Wisconsin and stay in a timeshare for a week. So right off the bat, the celebration is a week long. The Wifi is spotty, the…
Pumpkin Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins
I feel as though it’s been a while! I’ve been keeping a pretty good pace of blog posts recently, but the quantity of baked goods was getting to be too much. The kitchen was filled with Tupperware, so I had to take a break and let the existing baked goods dwindle. But now we’re back…
Pumpkin Pie Pop Tart Bars
I’ve been on more of a baking kick than normal the past two weeks. There’s a lot of fall baked goods in the house right now, and I can’t keep up. And on top of that, these Pumpkin Pie Pop Tart Bars are accidentally pretty similar to these Apple Butter Bars, which I still have…
Apple Butter Bars with Maple Glaze
I think we, as a society, do not talk about apple butter enough. I’ve waxed poetic about peanut butter apple butter sandwiches before. And I plan to again, with another recipe soon. So I won’t talk about it too much now. Just know that apple butter is one of my favorite spreads. Still to this…
