What I bake (when it’s just for me) ☕️

Published about 18 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

If I haven’t turned you into a scone lover yet, I’m not doing my job. Scones are the perfect little breakfast bake — richer than muffins, not as indulgent as cake, and unbelievably quick to pull together. (This gingerbread version uses two of my favorite shortcuts.)
I hope you try them — the soft gingerbread spice and crackly vanilla glaze are pure holiday comfort.

more gingerbread!

  1. ​Glazed Gingerbread Bundt Cake ~ it has the most gorgeous golden color!
  2. ​Easy Gingerbread Cookies With Royal Icing ~ this is the ultimate holiday bake, I'm bringing the 'blank' cookies to a cookie decorating party next weekend.
  3. ​ Gingerbread Spritz Cookies ~ spritz cookies deserve a comeback. The glaze makes these extra special.
  4. ​ Soft Glazed Gingerbread Cookies ~ this is originally a Yotam Ottolengi recipe!

Another winning recipe! This will be my go to roast chicken recipe. Made as written (oh, without the butter) & it was moist, delicious & fragrant.

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!

Swedish Sugar Cookies

Hey friends❣️ Most of the year I’d probably (definitely) pass on a gaudy, rainbow-sprinkled cookie ~ but somehow it feels perfectly appropriate right now :) These classic sugar cookies are as simple as it gets: no chill, no rolling pins, just little buttery dough balls begging to be tossed in sparkly sugar. They’re pure holiday joy. Swedish Sugar Cookies I know some of you don't care for fruitcake, and maybe gingerbread's not your thing, but everybody loves sugar cookies! Marble Iced Sugar...

peppermint bark cake

Hey friends❣️ I like to share at least one new holiday cake each year. In recent years I've shared my Vanilla Cranberry Bundt Cake, my Modern Fruitcake (a favorite!) and my user-friendly Buche de Noel Layer Cake. Today's new recipe follows in the festive but not complicated theme and the holiday flavor combination is one that can't be beat. Peppermint Bark Chocolate Layer Cake more peppermint!

glazed gingerbread biscotti

Hey friends❣️ I have a weakness for all things gingerbread, and I love how it comes in so many different forms, from the most gorgeous holiday layer cake to the simplest drop cookie. Biscotti showcases those classic warm spices in a uniquely crunchy format ~ great for dunking and gifting (they stay fresh for weeks.)
