Pucker up, pals! It’s Lemon Bar day! Pucker up further, these are easy peasy lemon haha squeezy and loaded, loaded I say, with happy lemony goodness. Honestly, I never thought it possible to find a good lemon bar. Or, I should rephrase — I had yet to find a truly tasty, truly lemony, not […]
I can’t stop eating this cake. It’s light, yet moist, and intensely lemony—which is unusual in a lemon cake and what makes this one outstanding. And I kind of stumbled upon it by accident. Earlier this week, my husband had a function to attend that required baked goods. Since I had a big ol’ bag […]
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. […]
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 […]
We’ve been so fabulously seasonal lately here on Flaky Bakers, with our Blueberry Cheesecake Pie, Fresh Blueberry Pie, and (for our furry family members) Peanut Butter and Blueberry Pupcakes. As blueberry season is winding down, it seemed only right to head into zucchini season with a zucchini bread recipe. Last fall, my friend Kayte had […]
Squeaking in oooonnnne more blueberry treat before the season is up! Boo, don’t go, summer! Mostly because it’s Michigan blueberry season in these parts and that’s like a national holiday, that’s uh, limited to uh, the Midwest? Ok, so it’s a national holiday season for folks I’m related to. Hey, it’s summer, it’s hot, […]
It’s blueberry season! It’s also hot and humid as Hades outside, so I’m in no mood to bake and heat up the house. Luckily, I am in possession of a fabulous no-bake pie recipe that I look forward to making every year when fresh blueberries are abundant and affordable. And, wow, are they abundant and […]
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 […]
Last week a dear neighbor gifted me a wedging table he’d built for my new home pottery studio. When I’d asked him if he would be willing to build one for me, I’d offered to pay him. “Just pay for the wood,” he’d said. But when he brought the finished table over to the studio […]
