Cranberry Pecan Bread

Aside from turkey, on any given holiday table, my least favorite thing is very often the cranberry sauce. Perhaps I had one too many cloying canned versions as a kid, […]

Confections

Sesame Cashew Bars

I’ve wanted to visit Sofra outside of Boston for years, and somehow life + pandemic made it so that I didn’t visit my favorite U.S. city for over six years. […]

Cookies & Small Treats

Toasted Sesame Pan-Banging Cookies

While sesame is not a traditional Thanksgiving ingredient, I will always associate this particular cookie recipe with Thanksgiving, gratitude, and transformation. Two years ago, which feels like so much longer, […]

Cakes

Vanilla-Apple Cider Bundt Cake

Every October I’m torn between two existences: my desire to embrace the cooling season, the harvest foods, the upcoming Halloween witchiness, and the slowing down and coziness of the end […]

Cakes

Cookie Butter Cheesecake

Just like that, two full years have come and gone. In June 2018, I left my life as I knew it, with the intention of moving to Israel (where I […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Sweet & Salty Brownies

I can’t believe it’s May 17, 2020. After more than 7½ years, today is my very last Baked Sunday Mornings post ever. I am in disbelief that I joined this […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

It’s sort of blowing my mind how quickly the weeks in quarantine fly by and blend together. I generally feel that way in busy normal times anyway, but it feels […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Malted Crisp Tart

I feel like a broken record when I say, “I can’t believe I’ve never baked [x]” from one of the BAKED cookbooks. I’ve been baking out of them for so […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon-Almond Meringue Tarts

Finally– the cover shot. We are so close to the end of baking through BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking, and therefore the end of Baked Sunday Mornings. (So many tears!!) And […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Coconut Snowball Cupcakes

Alllll the coconut. Give it to me. Is it possible to fall more in love with coconut over time? Because did I mention… I want all the coconut things. I’m […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon Lime Bars

Sometimes the simplest recipes feel like a triumph. Lemon curd is one of those basic baking things that I just do not have a good handle on; like, sometimes it […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Marble Bundt Cake

Who else holds their breath every single time they unmold a Bundt cake? It doesn’t matter how many Bundts I make, how many years I’ve been baking, or which recipe […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Upstate Cheesecake

It all started with cheesecake. Way back circa 2002, a young woman of, let’s say, 24, made a cheesecake that wasn’t half bad. And then another, and another. And then […]

Cakes

Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Bundt Cake

I have to admit… I am extremely picky when it comes to red velvet. It can be wickedly, amazingly good, or it can be tragically, horridly bad (or something bland […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon Lemon Loaf

Sometimes recipes that seem so docile and unassuming provide more drama than I’d care to revisit. If you consider, say, the Lemon Lemon Loaf from BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking that […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon Drop Cake

The top of my cake hierarchy reads something like this: chocolate, vanilla (with or without rainbow sprinkles), red velvet, pistachio, coconut– with minor changes in the order depending on mood. […]
