Cinnamon-Eggnog Scones with Blonde Chocolate
I must say that I love the lazy “holiday hangover” days between Christmas and New Year’s, when you don’t know what day it is without thinking about it for a sec, when you’re still snacking on holiday cookies, and when most of the events are over. Let me preface this next bit by saying that […]
10 Days of Hamantashen, Day 9: Cheddar Jalapeño Knishentashen
Here’s where I’m at in my life right now: I can’t get enough of potato and cheese and pastry dough wrappers. That might not sound very glamorous, but Molly Yeh made my Savory Jewish Pastry Dreams come true, and now I can’t stop making knishentashen. Earlier in this “10 Days of Hamantashen” series, I was […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars
Let me introduce you to PB&J living its best life. I ate my first peanut butter and jelly sandwich at age… 27. Seriously. For reals. I didn’t grow up eating it because my family immigrated to the U.S. when I was four years old from Israel, and it was not (still not so much) something […]
Cacio e Pepe Knishentashen
I know Purim is technically over. But my friends in Israel said that everyone is still celebrating through Saturday, so I decided that I’m going to keep blogging about hamantashen until it’s no longer socially acceptable. Except this post is a little different. I’ve always thought savory hamantashen would be super interesting, but it wasn’t […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Nutella Scones (& Vanilla Bean Affogato Cameo)
Sometimes I forget how amazing Nutella is… Wow, seeing those words written down, I do realize how ridiculous it sounds. BECAUSE WHO COULD FORGET ABOUT NUTELLA. I don’t bake with Nutella nearly enough, so I took the opportunity this week to open a new jar and get reacquainted. Our current Baked Sunday Mornings recipe is Vanilla […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chipotle Cheddar Biscuits
Friends, I made biscuits, but I didn’t have time to write about them. This is a first. I tend to be pretty busy, but finding time to bake and blog is a top priority for me no matter what’s going on. But! Right now is a little different because I’m two weeks away from a […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Almond Joy Tart
Who grew up thinking they “didn’t like” coconut? *raises hand* I definitely spent my childhood being repelled by this tropical treasure, an aversion based on exactly zero real-world evidence, perhaps even zero contact. I don’t know at what point the tide turned, at what point it occurred to me to actually try coconut… And I […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Maple Walnut Scones
I need a Scone Support Hotline. I love making, baking, smelling, holding, and eating scones– every possible sensory experience that can be had with scones, I want to have it. But for some reason, when I make them, they look like ugly lumps. Instead of prim little triangles, they just flop over into shapeless hunks […]
Pop Tart Hamantashen
My whole life, I’ve more or less been a creature of habit when it comes to hamantashen. I grew up eating apricot-filled ones, which I will happily gobble up to this day, but poppyseed… nope, no thank you, blech. Also, if you throw in a chocolate-filled one, I’m definitely in, no questions asked. Other jams, […]
Black Sesame Coconut Babka
So far in 2018, I’ve been babka-ing hard. Ever since I made Chocolate-Halva Babka at the end of last year, I have been hitting the babka dough every chance I get, which is still not as often as I’d like, considering that it’s a 2-day process and as a blogger, I also have to take natural […]
