It’s time for Bake Together, and since it’s July it means I’m completely obsessed with lavender. My neighbor’s lavender is in full bloom, and this year we have two bee hives stationed on the side of her house. They love the lavender even more than I do and are busily making honey from the pollen. [...]

It might seem like I slacked off for this month’s Bake Together, but really it’s just that Abby’s version of the recipe seemed perfect as-is. I find it hard to improve on a berry pie, especially when the markets are bursting at the seams with fresh fruit. I’m not even going to post the recipe [...]
For this month’s Bake Together, we had a choice in which direction to take the recipe – sweet or savory. I automatically assumed I’d be on #TeamSweet. I love corn and sugar together so it just seemed like a given. But then we were making chili for dinner, and I thought about these muffins, and [...]
This month’s Bake Together is angel food cake! One thing I love about angel food cake is that it uses only egg whites – I’ve usually got an abundance because of all the ice cream, lemon curd and pasta I tend to make. Larry and I brainstormed over this cake. I could have gone the [...]
We went the savory route for this month’s Bake Together. And I went with Spanish flavors, not the first time I’ve veered in that direction. What can I say, I’m a little boring. I really love Abby’s Bake Together challenges. Up until she started them, I was a pretty strict recipe follower. I still am, [...]
This month’s Bake Together is cheesecake, and it wasn’t difficult at all to figure out what I was going to make. I love cheesecake – creamy and mildly cheesy with a crunchy crust. It’s also one of the first desserts I ever learned how to make. My “problem” right now is a glut of Meyer [...]
I’m squeaking in at the last minute with this month’s Bake Together again. I keep finding myself wanting to commit to more baking groups, more testing, more projects in the kitchen… but there’s only so much time and so much eating I can do. This simple boule was perfect for me to whip together at [...]
Between my normal frantic baking, plus testing for various sources and the holidays, I wasn’t sure I was going to get to the latest BakeTogether challenge. Plus, I’m kind of done with peppermint… and anything that takes much more effort that throwing some things in a bowl and pouring it into a baking pan (see: [...]
We’ve been on vacation in The Grenadines and Barbados, so for this month’s project for Abby Dodge’s virtual Bake Together challenge I went a little tropical. I added ginger to the streusel and swapped out the vanilla extract for coconut extract. And I’ve got brown butter on the brain, so I cooked some butter down [...]
This month’s project for Abby Dodge’s virtual Bake Together challenge was chocolate mousse cookies that sound great as-is, so I really wasn’t sure I was going to make any changes. But given these are nicknamed Irene Cookies, after the unwanted visitor that came to see Abby and left a mess after overstaying her visit, I [...]
