I’ve explained before how much my family loves Elote. So when we needed cornbread to go with chili one night, I figured I may as well put an Elote spin on it! This recipe also came about, much like these rye scones did, in my efforts to empty out my pantry of all the half-used…
Speculoos Milk Bar Pie
Well well well… After a (personal) record-breaking 78 posts in 2024, I’ve taken a whole week to post in 2025! But fear not, I aim to keep posting just as much in this new year. My goal for last year was to post 52 times (once a week), which I managed to surpass considerably. And…
Milk Bar’s Thanksgiving Croissants
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

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…
