Finally a new post! It feels like it has been ages, about two weeks. Not that bad, I guess, but still a while. On one of my last days at my old job, my co-worker (that word does not do him justice, h...
So I have been meaning to post this for a while. Since Easter exactly. But everything just seems to always be happening all at once. Work got extremely busy, the commute is starting to wear me out an...
I made a vanilla bean bundt cake. And smothered the pieces with jam. What made this cake special, well besides the vanilla beans, was the demerara sugar and mostly heavy cream instead of milk. It mad...
This Sunday I made the hour and a half drive down to Palo Alto and spent the day with Stephanie of Desserts for Breakfast. It started off around 9 in the morning and didnt end til almost 7 at night. ...
My first savory pie and it was perfect. I literally could have ate the entire thing. Soft mushrooms, running strong gorgonzola, sauteed onions, all steaming with the hint of sage baked in a marvelous...
Smores are kind of magical thing for me. They are full of memories in every bite and they make me love what I would normally never eat. Like most, smores were the epic camping food that somehow woul...
Homemade bread, easy to make and even easier to eat. Having this bread straight out of the oven, its warm, soft with a perfectly crunchy crust and packed full of flavor because of all the fresh herb...
Photo shoot of a breakfast in bed. Because it was a Sunday and I wanted to take photos of one. I wish I could say I made the croissants, but sadly they are store bought. Still tasty though because, w...
Blackberries, goat cheese & thyme? Could their be a better combination for a dessert that you could call dinner? I think not. When I first saw this recipe on Pinterest, it was made in individual...
I went out with my Dad a few weekends ago to go to the Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes. So we made it there only to find out that it was the one weekend they were closed to do a massive clean out of ...
Hello Have you heard of golden syrup? Its quite amazing and I hadnt heard of it before this recipe. Well I had heard of it but I had never used it, because Im in America and it is more of a UK thing....
Valentines Day has come and gone. The bakery was the most crazy I had ever seen it. I got their at 6 am and was going nonstop for the next 8 hours. We couldnt keep enough in stock, people were just w...
Over the past two weekends I have been busy doing photoshoots for Cups & Cakes Bakery. Thats where I work. Each weekend my house was filled with cupcakes. The drive back from the city with a van...
A Donna Hay classic. I have always looked at her site, stared aimlessly at the gorgeous photos but never actually made one of her recipes. So this is my first of hopefully many. It turned out wonderf...
My birthday was Wednesday, I turned 24. So I had the day off and decided to make two desserts. Blood Orange Bars and a Lavender Cake with Goat Cheese Icing. I shot most of the photos on film, with on...
Sunday & Monday mornings are my breakfast days. I dont have to wake up at 5 am to catch the train. I can sleep in & take the time to make those proper breakfasts you see in the movies but nev...
Somewhat a cross between a muffin & a cupcake. A tea cake! And of course I changed the regular butter to brown butter. The nuttiness, the little specks it gives, the depth of flavor that absolute...
This ganache is different. It is special. It is not like a normal ganache with just heavy cream and chocolate. It has brown sugar added to it. Just that one simple component makes it ridiculous (in ...
One year ago today I had been out of school just a month with no clue what to do. I missed the graduation ceremony to go to Texas, I didnt have a job or any prospects in sight and had just watched Ju...
Cranberry Streusel Muffins, Salted Caramel Apple Pie and finally the second half of the Michigan trip photos. I am very late on this post. It seems like ages ago that I was in Michigan, but it has be...
Fresh goat cheese is wonderful! I thought the farmers cheese that I made a bit ago was nice, a bit bland but probably best I would get for homemade cheese. Dead wrong. Homemade goat cheese is fabulou...
I got up very early on one of the last days that we were in Michigan. I wanted to make some special breakfast treat. Fall time, the air was cold, so when I found a recipe for pecan pie french toas...
I was given a few pomegranates about a week before I broke into one. I know I should have used them earlier, given that fruit goes bad so quickly, but I just didnt get around to it. So when I finally...

Another recipe I made in Michigan. This bread pudding was a big hit. When trying to think of something to make with all the apples, my Dad suggested a bread pudding. So when looking up recipes I foun...
These molasses cookies a kind of amazing little things. Maybe it is just my new found love of molasses, maybe because the dough is great by itself, there could be many reasons. When I asked my great...
Earl is my great grandfather and this is his favorite cake! While on vacation at his house, which I will post the photos from eventually, I found this recipe. I was rummaging through his cupboards fi...
The holidays are now among us. I walked into work yesterday and holiday music was blasting. Thankfully that was not long lasting, it would have been way too much for an eight hour shift. But one holi...
