Making these Sourdough English Muffins is my favorite way to use my Sourdough Starter in these hot summer months. No oven required! I would love to say I always have a stash of them on hand, but quite frankly, I can’t keep them around more than an hour or so before my family gobbles them…
Brunch
Beignets, Revisited + COOKBOOK news!
Hi friends, It’s been so long since I’ve written a new blog post to share with all of you and I’m dying to catch you up on all the excitement around here. So many things have happened–where do I begin? The very beginning, I suppose. WAY back in February 2013, I pressed ‘publish’ on my…
Homemade Nutella
Confession time. I consume a shameful amount of Nutella on a nearly daily basis. I could be a professional Nutella eater and would never get sick of the silky smooth, chocolat-ey, hazelnut-filled spread that is heavenly on just about everything. While living in Italy I got accustomed to the good stuff. Truth: Italian Nutella is…
Monkey Bread (From Scratch!)
Happy Spring! We’re fully enjoying our first days of sunshine and milder temperatures in Michigan this week. Sometimes we get overeager for the warmer days, or at least I know I do. I left the house the other morning without a jacket because it felt so warm out…only to realize once I was on the road…
Mama’s Super Soft Cinnamon Rolls
I’ve been on a quest for the most perfectly soft cinnamon rolls for what seems like ages. I can’t tell you how many batches I’ve made along the way, but there have been a LOT. Finally, it dawned on me. I needed to start with my very favorite roll dough that makes the absolute best, most…
Perfect Popovers
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve always wanted to make popovers. They seem so impressive in all their golden, puffed up glory. Popovers are basically a beautiful, puffy, hollow, crêpe-in-the-shape-of-a-muffin that pair perfectly with just about any spread you can imagine. It only seemed fitting that popovers were the first recipe I worked…
Chocolate Chip Scones and Life Changes
Hello friends! Where do I begin? So much has happened in the last several months since I’ve posted anything. My life has entered a new season. I’m somebody’s mama. It’s so surreal and crazy and fun. It’s also a lot to get used to. Gone are the days when schedules and plans and housework are done…
Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits
Buttermilk biscuits are so simple, yet somehow they seem a little bit intimidating. Making them from scratch takes about the same amount of time as using the canned variety, but they’re not even comparable in terms of flavor, texture, or even cost. This time of the year, I get the itch to start making more…
Bread Pudding with Warm Vanilla Sauce
Before I tell you how utterly delicious this recipe is and how you should make it right away, I give you permission encouragement to serve this either for dessert or breakfast. Or both. On the same day. Bread Pudding with Warm Vanilla Sauce was something that for some reason I simply had to have on a daily…
Apple Turnovers
Considering that today is Super Bowl Sunday, one might wonder why I’m not sharing a recipe for buffalo wings or some sort of ultimate party dip. While those are great party foods, I am not what you might call a football fan. I won’t lose a wink of sleep tonight if I don’t know who reigned…
