Ever come across a recipe that is so wonderful you make this 3x in one week? That is this recipe folks. It’s simple, it’s easy, and it’s SO SO delicious. If you have never trusted me before now is the time to start trusting me. This bright and fresh cake is the perfect thing…
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
This Sour Cream Coffee Cake is to die for, with a thick cinnamon ribbon and a perfectly moist cake with a perfect balance due to the addition of rich sour cream. It’s a must make! I’ve professed my love for bundt cakes before, but all it takes is getting a new fancy pan to send…
Banana Pudding Layer Cake
When your first-born turns 5 and is a total foodie, you do everything you can to make his birthday cake dreams come true! Hugo tired my Homemade Banana Pudding when I made it over Christmas, and promptly declared it was “good as heck,” and that it was the treat he wanted for his birthday. After…
Rosemary Apple Pie
If Thanksgiving 2018 came and went without me sharing a new pie recipe I just couldn’t bear it, so here I am in the nick of time with another one for you. It’s hard to come up with new ideas after 8 years of blogging, but I’ve been tossing the idea of this combo for…
Pumpkin Sour Cream Donuts
With fall in the air, and that crisp chilly wind rattling my windows, I’m in full autumn mode. Yes winter feels just around the corner here in Chicago, but I’m still holding on to pumpkin-y fall flavors as long as possible. Two weeks ago was my street’s block party, and as has become tradition,…

Apple-Cinnamon Crumble Muffins
Fall is officially here in Chicago. I mean one week ago it was 87 and humid, but overnight it’s officially cold, boot-wearing, blanket-needing, heat on cold. I can’t say I’m happy about it, I mean is a week or two of 65 and sunny too much to ask for? But- I’ll take the cozy baking…
How I Learned to Knit
Posting about non food things always makes me a bit iffy, but since a lot of my focus lately has been on making clothing instead of making food, and there have been a lot of questions and interest about it, it’s time to share everything with you! I’ve wanted to learn to knit for years,…
The Sourdough Post
At the beginning of the year I had 3 big goals (more goal than resolution in my case,) for 2018. Read 25 books (which I will most definitely fail at, I’m now hoping for 12,) Learn to knit (which I have done and will be posting about soon!) and learn to make sourdough!
Summer Peach Buckle
When it comes to baking with summer fruit, my philosophy is that the perfect, seasonal deliciousness should always be front and center. I’m talking pies full of tons of cherries, muffins that are mostly blueberries, and in this case, a “cake” that tastes like baked peaches with a little cake holding it together. 75% fruit-…
