Cherry Buttermilk Cake with Brown Butter Streusel
It’s cherry season, it’s cherry season! The sweet maroon orbs are flooding the stores, and I couldn’t be happier. They are, however, somewhat pricy; we’ve been eating them judiciously, smashed into a saucy mess and poured over oatmeal, tossed with yogurt and cacao nibs, or fresh from the bowl. This early in the season, we’re…

Lemon & Lilac Cake
I was standing in my friend’s garden one day, appreciatively inhaling the scent of her fully-in bloom lilac blush, when another friend mentioned that as a kid, she used to eat lilacs. “Really?” I asked. “Lilacs are edible?” “Yes!” she said. “There’s a drop of honey at the stem of each flower, and as kids,…

Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
My mom’s very favorite treat is a blueberry muffin. A big, bakery-style one, with a crispy top and filled with sweet blueberries. The problem is, bakery muffins never measure up to what they could be. At their ideal, they’d be moist, sweet, and exploding with blueberries. In reality, they are usually stale from a long…

Egg and Vegetable Breakfast Wrap
Breakfast is a meal that most people tend to skip, or at the very least, skimp on, downing a quick bowl of sugary cereal or a steaming mug of coffee on the go. And while I get that mornings are busy, and that there’s not exactly time to assemble the sort of glorious brunch spread…

Fluffy Brown Sugar Pancakes
Happy February! This month makes me happy because a; we are closer to Spring(!) and b; we are sure to have lots of snow days! A snow day morning calls for two (nonnegotiable) things: a late wakeup. And pancakes. Yes, pancakes! The breakfast of champions when made right, and rest assured: these are. This recipe…

Spiced Pumpkin Scones
Scones, as you might well know by now, are my favorite breakfast pastry, and with good reason. Stuffed with fruit, crumbly or moist, and frosted or spiced, they can be made to fit any occasion, whether a fancy brunch or a mid-morning treat, While it isn’t really Fall yet, I made these pumpkin scones to…

Blueberry Scones
July is national blueberry month, so I’m celebrating accordingly, with this incredible scone recipe. Blueberries are one fruit that I almost always prefer to eat fresh. I love their bright, juicy tartness, and somehow, they don’t always seem to retain that fresh flavor when baked. But this scone is different. Rather than being lost in…

Strawberry Yogurt Bowls with Homemade Granola
Yogurt and granola is one of my favorite healthy breakfasts. It’s quick, filling, and requires no coordination when you’re running late and need to leave the house. Most mornings, I’ll usually just grab a Greek yogurt and toss in some packaged granola. But one weekend, with more time to spare and room for a little…

Strawberry Buttermilk Scones
No matter how big the box, whenever we have fresh strawberries in the house, they’re usually gone within a day. This time though, I set some strawberries aside to use in a recipe for scones that I’d bookmarked a couple of weeks back. Using the sweet, juicy strawberries, I made the scones over the weekend…
