Let's talk about berries... It may be winter here right now, but that doesn't mean that berries aren't on the menu. Frozen berries works great in this recipe, so you can enjoy moist, berry-studded coffee cake year-round. I prefer a combination of tart Michigan cherries, blueberries, and raspberries, but you can use as many or...

French Onion Soup
It's been ages since I made French Onion soup, so since we're headed into soup season here in Michigan I figured it was time to do my due diligence and properly test and perfect my French Onion Soup recipe. I'll be honest, it's been harder than usual lately to get inspired to really dive in...

This recipe was originally going to be specifically an Apple Pie French Toast Bake, but I've now made it so many times with all different fruits and loved each one that it seemed like being too specific to apples didn't encourage the creativity that this recipe thrives on. The basis is a very straightforward French...

Gluten-Free Shortcut "Sourdough" (No Starter Required)
This recipe and method are my go-to for gluten-free sourdough artisan style bread. I spent a good part of last year creating and nurturing a gluten-free sourdough starter and tested dozens of recipes, but I never could get past the amount of costly GF flours and the maintenance required to maintain a gluten-free sourdough starter...
