• Maple Glazed Apple Fritters

  Do you have any kitchen fears? Is frying things one of them? If it is, it’s time to do away with that fear. Poof! Vanish it. Because while you sit worrying about oil splatters and fat intake and other nonsensical things like that, people all over the world are eating FRESH DOUGHNUTS. HOMEMADE. DOUGHNUTS!!! I […]

• Maple Plum Upside Down Cake

  A few days ago, I spotted a box of plums for $5 at the grocery store. They were dusty, bruised and a little unripe. I took them home. Once home, I put them on the counter. I thought, well, here it is. Proof that you have trouble letting go. Because really, plums are a thing of the […]

• Spiced Stone Fruit Crumble Bars

  I don’t want to think about it being late August, or August at all. I don’t want to think about summer ending and taking with it its bounty of everything good. I don’t want to think about the ice cream maker that will sit collecting dust for a year, or about the peaches I won’t […]

• The Great Cookie Off

  There comes a time when you must make a sacrifice. A sacrifice involving more than 2 pounds of chocolate, 2 pounds of butter, and sadly, all hopes of a bikini body. For what, exactly, are we sacrificing all this? For COOKIES. For the best cookies. Because it’s time to get serious up in here! There will […]

• Sour Cherry Pie

  Late night pie happens like this: come home from the cherry orchard as the sun begins its slow descent. Wonder, how will we eat six pounds of cherries? Think: pie! Proceed to look for a cherry pitter, come up with fingers. Settle for a piping tip. Painstakingly pit and stem three pounds of cherries. Turn […]

• A ♥ Letter to Summer: Sweet Cherry & Blueberry Galette

  Dear Summer, I love you for a lot of things. I love you for the golden glow you give me. I love you for your long afternoons. I love you for juicy watermelons, eaten with sticky fingers besides a dwindling stack of napkins. I love you for your sounds: sometimes, a hazy stillness, sometimes, crickets […]

• Rhubarb, Cinnamon & Lavender Breakfast Puffs

  I have to tell you something about rhubarb: it is my favorite. So much so that I planted rhubarb last spring, so much so that I even buy frozen rhubarb during the winter, so much so that when spring comes, and the stalks are pink, gleaming, I put it in everything.  Even in breakfast puffs. Breakfast […]

• Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

  By now, you probably already know how much I love pie. In fact, March 14 is one of my favorite days of the year; every year, my friends and I bake a glorious selection of pies and have a feast that’s exclusively comprised of sugary, buttery, dessert. Yeah, we know how to party. For this […]

• Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Cake

  It’s my birthday!!!! Well, almost. My birthday’s in 2 days. But it’s my Mama’s birthday! In my book, (and in anyone’s book, if they’re normal) 2 birthdays in a week calls for cake. Beautiful, decadent cake. For her birthday, I wanted to make a cake that would be sweet, crunchy, chocolate-y, and impressive. I knew I’d make […]

• Double Chocolate Donuts with Raspberry Glaze & Pomegranate Salt

  Do you know what the sweetest type of food is? Food that’s made with love. When every ingredient is saturated with wholesomeness, when every step is done with care- brown the butter, crystalize the sugar, sear until crispy- that’s when food tastes good. Sometimes I lose sight of that objective. It becomes about perfection, and while […]
