Dark at 5? Let’s bake. 🕰️


Hey friends❣️

The end of daylight saving time hits everybody a little differently. All the years I lived in sunny SoCal I welcomed that rare sense of coziness into my life. Now that I'm living here in the upper Midwest...let's just say I can think of better ideas.

But no matter where you stand on the matter, next weekend marks the official start of hygge season, when shorter days call for something sweet and comforting from the kitchen.

Fresh out of the oven today ~ a new member of my thin and crispy cookie family, bringing the grand total to 4 fabulous recipes.

Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

These muffins are spectacular! With such a tiny hint of molasses (2T), and of course the buttermilk and the pumpkin, the flavor is quite explosive. We loved these and will make them again for sure!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!
