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.

(This is our Black Friday recipe, a little ahead of the “holiday”.) I have never made tapioca pudding from scratch, but […]

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: 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 […]
