Cinnamon Coffee Crumb Cake
I’m a big lover of cinnamon, and the sugary crumbles have helped coffee cake become one of my all-time favorites. So, why not try to make it myself? I’m pleased to say that this recipe worked great. I’d like to improve the crumbles next time, […]
Lemon Blueberry Poppy Seed Muffins
What a treat! Fresh blueberries are hard to beat, plus the zest of lemon with the little crunch of poppy seeds build a fantastic muffin. There’s an optional sweet glaze if you’re into it (it’s the last instruction). We were wary of the amount of […]
Sticky Toffee Pudding
What a lovely desert! My wife thinks it divine, and the sauce is superb. It delivers a fantastic flavor with dates, vanilla, and toffee. It’s a traditional British desert, and one that will impress the friends and family.
Chocolate Fondant / Molten Lava Cake
In Europe it’s a Chocolate Fondant, in the states it’s Molten Lava Cake, and everywhere it’s delicious. I am amazed at how simple and quick this recipe is for such a decadent desert. The 2 gotchas with this one is melting/mixing the chocolate and butter […]
Orange Vanilla Poundcake
Subtle orange, with a hint of bitterness against the sweet. Oranges are sweeter and less sour than lemons, so the balance needs to be controlled. Also, this was the first time I’ve used a stand mixer, and with some adjustments it worked out great. We […]
Homemade Focaccia
We love this recipe because a well-made focaccia is fluffy and flavorful. Play around with variations of toppings, like cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and more. We enjoy ours warmed with butter or room temperature dipped in olive oil. I tried a […]
Zucchini Manicotti
For a healthy take on an exquisite Italian dish, put the pasta aside and grab a vegetable peeler! Zucchini manicotti still lets us enjoy the gooey cheese without the heaviness of pasta. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s pie is something my vegetarian wife never gets to experience, so of course I was on a mission to share the warm, hearty, comforting-on-a-cold-winter-day dish with her. We found the Tasty recipe fairly spot on, but of course it wouldn’t be here with out […]
Breakfast Frittata
We enjoy the “choose your own adventure” aspect of breakfast frittatas. We’ve tried to include a variety of optional ingredients and callouts in the instructions for customization opportunities. Something fresh should always be included, so we choose diced tomatoes, and you can’t go wrong with […]
Snickerdoodle Cookies
We like this recipe because it doesn’t require cream of tartar and they still turn out great. You should notice an “OR” where baking powder is listed in the ingredients: if you have cream of tartar that’s where you’d sub out baking powder with that […]
