New: Almond Croissant Cake 🤩


Hey friends❣️

Fresh up today ~ a cake that’s part croissant, part coffee cake, and completely irresistible.

Almond Croissant Cake

French almond croissant cake is a variation on two other cakes that I absolutely adore ~ my French Pistachio Cake and subsequent Mocha Hazelnut Cake. The unique recipe is authentically French, and contains no butter or oil. Instead whipped cream is folded into the batter for a texture that is rich and light at the same time. This easy recipe is reliable, rises beautifully, and slices like a dream.

We almond lovers (you know who you are!) are always looking for the next fresh almond experience, and my almond croissant cake marries a classic French pastry with a moist and fluffy coffee cake. This recipe would be gorgeous on a spring holiday table, or with afternoon tea or coffee any time of year.

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!

olive oil brownies

Hey friends❣️ I do love them, from the traditional to the wildly unconventional and everything rich and fudgy in between 🤎 Olive Oil Brownies You guys love what olive oil does to my Lemon Olive Oil Cake ~ are you’re ready to upgrade to chocolate?! Olive oil brownies are for you if you’ve got an adventurous baking spirit but still want a great tasting brownie that ticks all the boxes. It’s like the chocolate you love, but elevated to something really special. A couple more riffs on the brownie...

Mediterranean Sheet Pan Salmon

Hey friends❣️ We celebrated my daughter's birthday last night and I needed a dinner that wouldn't keep me in the kitchen. I chose my Mediterranean Sheet Pan Salmon ~ that meal never lets me down! I prepped the whole pan hours ahead and slid it into the oven half an hour before we sat down to eat. It's probably my favorite spring meal to cook for friends and family. But now we're on to Monday and I need another lineup of dinners (it never ends!!) Here's what I'm thinking: Smoked Cheddar Shrimp...

The throughline is easy one-and-done type snacks that can and should stand on their own. Maybe it's the warmer weather but I'm moving away from elaborate plates and...
