Elote Cornbread

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…

Brown Butter Rye Scones

I’m still working on that start of the year goal of using up all the mostly-used ingredients in my pantry. I went through a rye phase a few months ago, but stopped before I used up all the rye flour in my pantry. So a cup of flour was still sitting in its own bag….

Black Sesame Swirl Brown Butter Blondies

It’s amazing how long low-priority things can stay on my to-do list. I bought some black sesame butter in LA about 2.5 years ago, meaning to bake with it, and I just… never got around to it. It sat in my pantry so long that it eventually expired, and I had to buy some more….

Peanut Butter Maple Brownies

Extra Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Every few years (sometimes it feels like every year), a new “Greatest Ever Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe!” is introduced. For a while, it was the NYT Chocolate Chip Cookie. Which, yes, is very good. Now, it appears to be the Jacques Torres chocolate chip cookie. Frankly, they’re all probably great. I’m not sure what we’re…

Bodacious Milk Chocolate Brownies

I said it in a previous post, but part of the start of the year routine this year meant cleaning out and organizing my pantry. The holidays always brings an influx of sweets and ingredients, and they inevitably always last well beyond December. So, these brownies served two start-of-the-year purposes: to use up all the…

Old Fashioned (Cocktail) Shortbread Cookies

I have beef with the NYT Cooking section. They are behind a paywall about 90% of the time. Just give me ads! I’m not paying you! There’s so much free baking information on the internet that if I can’t access one specific recipe, I’m going to figure it out myself. Which is what happened with…
