Baked Sunday Mornings: Brown Butter Apple Cranberry Galette
Oh my, this is one pretty pie. I mean, galette— we’re getting a little fancy for Thanksgiving at Baked Sunday Mornings this week. Though actually, I guess it just *feels* fancy because galettes are of French pastry origin. Really, a galette is quite rustic with its wild and crazy free-form shaping. I love baking lots of different things, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Espresso Tapioca Pudding with Kahlúa Whipped Cream
Don’t you love it when things just work out? I was apprehensive about this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings recipe, Chocolate Espresso Tapioca Pudding with Kahlúa Whipped Cream from Baked Occasions, because my puddings have historically been hit-and-miss. (This is our Black Friday recipe, a little ahead of the “holiday”.) I have never made tapioca pudding from scratch, but […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Individual Baked Alaskas with Vanilla & Coffee Ice Cream
I’ve made a lot of desserts in my life. I mean, A LOT. There have been countless batches of cupcakes, cookies, brownies, layer cakes, and all manner of other treats in and out of the oven– some great, some mediocre, and yes, some were disastrous! At this point, it’s not that often that I’m tasked […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Peanut Butter & Jelly Crumb Morning Muffins
Friends, as I look around and take stock of my life, I am happy to report that there is presently… a hell of a lot of peanut butter and jelly happening! There was a dark time when I could not say this. In fact, for most of my life I did not know the joy of PB&J; […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Rice Crispy “Cake” with Homemade Marshmallow “Icing”
I’ve talked before on this blog about my comical gaps in 80’s American snacking and cuisine, due to my parents moving our family from Israel to California when I was 4 years old. Things like PB&J, Twinkies, and Cheez-Wiz (*shudder*) were not part of my lunchbox experience growing up. One thing, however, that quickly made its way […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Orange Pancakes with Honey Butter
If you are of the Jewish persuasion like me, I wish you a Shana Tova! If you are not familiar with this tradition, it is Hebrew for Happy New Year, because tonight begins Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the Jewish New Year, and the beginning of the period known as the High Holy Days (a […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Nonnie’s Blueberry Buckle
I don’t have a Nonnie, let alone one who makes blueberry cake, but this bright, fluffy ring cake makes me wish I did! I’m not normally a big blueberry person, but this cake confirms that my favorite vehicle for eating them is via a coffee cake delivery system. In honor of National Blueberry Month (yes, really), Baked Sunday […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Brioche Ice Cream Sandwiches
Italy is never far from my heart and thoughts; if there’s anyone down to celebrate an Italian holiday, it’s THIS GIRL. As I start up another school year this week, I am wistfully reminded that Italians are celebrating the festival of Ferragosto, established in Roman times (Feriae Augusti– “Festivals of the Emperor Augustus” in Latin) and […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Everyone’s Favorite Birthday Cake
I don’t make the classic-yellow-cake-with-chocolate-frosting combination very often; in fact, almost never. I couldn’t really say why, because I certainly love to eat it. I guess after baking for so many years now, I look to more complicated/unusual recipes?? But sometimes you need to just take it back to the simple pleasures of life, and […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Purple Velvet Cake (aka Gonzo Cake)
Although I’ve always loved to write, I have to admit that I am embarrassingly lacking in the literature department. My familiarity with Hunter S. Thompson goes as far as watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas on a date in 1998 and falling asleep… Not sure what that says about my intellectual depth, the guy I was […]
