Last year for Christmas, or was it the year before? yikes, I made an apple pie by a um, quite famous blogger and I was so disappointed in it. I think everyone else was too. Ugh, just ugh, super embarrassing. Kinda wish I could go back in time and make this Buttermilk Crusted Apple Pie […]
Yes, you read that right, Apple Pie Drop Biscuits with Melted Ice Cream Glaze, uh huh. You’re probably all “what the what?!” This awesome concoction is a collaborative effort, a first ever for me and it was fantastic, truly a bundle of fun. Over on the Instagrams not too long ago, I received a message from […]
If you follow along here on this super spiffy blog, you already know I am an apple lover, or really, a baking with apples lover. So duh of course I’d be captivated by a recipe entitled Apple Fritter Bread. Duh. Not a bread, it’s a quick bread. Well, heh, let’s be honest here, haha, it’s […]
Baking for breakfast, yes, it’s definitely a thing, as we’re quite aware. Now, see, I am not and have never been a morning person, much to the frustration and chagrin of pretty much every morning person I know. Or, everyone. I just can’t. I have tried. I’ve had very early morning jobs. Early classes. Nothing […]
Ooooooooh glorious apple season. The joyous gift that keeps on giving! Such as this Apple Mosaic Tart! Oh but did you see Jen’s Crock Pot Applesauce?! What’s better than homemade applesauce, amiright?! Ok, don’t be intimidated by this apple tart though. It does look uber fancy and may give an air of unachievable but in […]
Every year during apple season, I get a little overzealous in my apple buying and usually end up with a bunch of apples that have lost their crunch. Personally, I don’t like eating soft apples. The flavor may still be great, but it doesn’t matter—if the texture is off, I don’t want to eat them. […]
I’m one a’ those folks who never wants summer to end. Yeah, one a’ those. “Babe, but doesn’t everyone love fall?” Mike asked of me as I was lamenting impending cold weather. “Sure, lots of folks love fall and that’s great but I’m not one of them.” Getting all fatalistic I continued, “that means winter […]
There’s a hint of fall in the air, with chilly mornings and evenings, leaves just barely beginning to turn, and freshly picked apples popping up everywhere. We LOVE apples, and look forward to apple season every year. Apple pie is probably our most favorite apple thing to bake (this one AND this one), but we […]
Since mid-May, we’ve been gathering with friends every Friday evening for a pick-up game of soccer. All ages, all skills, and ALL fun. Last night, on the summer solstice, the weather was PERFECT. Sunny, but a cool 70-something Fahrenheit. I LOVE these days. Like, if I could live someplace where this was the exact weather […]
The first thing you should know about this recipe is, just like the Vanilla Buttermilk Cookies, these jam bars are hard to stop eating. I mean, you don’t think it’s going to be a problem when you’re making them, but then you’ve let them cool, cut into them, and you’re taking that first bite of […]
