Baked Sunday Mornings: Whipped Shortbread

Butter. Oh, butter… How I love you so. I mean, I know this goes without saying, but I can’t imagine life without the rich, magical deliciousness of butter. There is some pretty f*cked up stuff going on in the world right now, and it distresses me to no end when I think about where we are heading… […]
Pumpkin Spice Problem Solved: Pumpkin Chocolate Espresso Bundt Cake

I have a confession: I hate Pumpkin Spice Lattes. In fact, I tend to dislike most Pumpkin Spice Things. Amidst the pumpkin madness of October through November, I don’t mind indulging in a few treats here and there but I get tired of it pretty quickly, mostly because a lot of pumpkin-flavored products are done kinda badly, i.e. overly […]
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, […]
That’s How the Cake Crumbles: Torta Sbriciolata alle Mele

Ciao a tutti! Friends, it is with great pleasure that I share with you a wonderful cake that just came into my life—I can hardly contain myself, actually. You know how sometimes you discover a new kind of dish that you immediately know will become a permanent part of your repertoire? The kind that has […]
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 […]
Decadence, Squared: The Peanut Butter Confections Formerly Known as Nutter Butters by Dana Cree

I’ve been waiting all summer for this. I try to post a mixture of Baked Sunday Mornings recipes, travel blogs, and non-BSM recipes, but it was a particularly busy summer with travel and moving, so nothing but BSM got done… Contrary to popular belief, I do actually bake stuff out of books other than the BAKED quartet, […]
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 […]
