Hot Buttered Soft Pretzels
Soft pretzels are so good; especially with a nice beer cheese or German mustard. We’ve got a few restaurants near us we specifically go to when we’re in the mood for a good pretzel. We made soft pretzels a few years ago so we decided to try a new recipe this time. This particular recipe…

Gluten-free Biscuits
One of my friends is gluten-free, so I often try to find recipes she can enjoy so she doesn’t feel left out. We were having breakfast one weekend and since she has missed biscuits I thought it mine be fun to try a gluten-free biscuit just to see how it turned out. King Arthur’s recipe…

(Super Easy) Flourless Chocolate Cake
I made a flourless chocolate cake a few years ago and decided it was time to try another recipe. As the recipe name implies, it’s super easy; which is great! We generally use Ghirardelli’s chocolate and did use the 70% as recommended. I’m sure 60% would be fine too but I don’t know that I’d…

Espresso Cupcakes
I think I saw these on Instagram and saved them away for the perfect time to try them. I’ll just jump straight in to the recipe comments here as it’s pretty simple. The original recipe has more of a yellow cake/vanilla base; however there’s an option in the recipe to do a Mocha version. We…

Dulce De Leche Revel Bars
We grew up eating Chocolate Revel Bars and I thought I had made them here before but apparently not. I happened to see these Dulce de Leche Revel Bars and thought they’d be a fun spin on what we’ve had before. This is a really easy recipe and is great if you want to throw…

Cherry Vanilla Shortbread Tart
It’s a little early for cherry season, but I had a lot of cherries on hand and didn’t want to waste them so I found this recipe. I’ve only made two tarts before; a Berry Cream Tart and a Roasted Tomato Tart. I’ve decided I really like making tarts. They’re easy, look really pretty, and…

Brioche Bread Pudding with Lemon Curd and Raspberries
This recipe intrigued me since it’s very different from the usual bread pudding recipes. I was also pretty excited that I just happened to have lemon curd and raspberries/blackberries in the fridge and brioche in the freezer. If you don’t have brioche or croissants then this recipe gives a few other suggestions you can use.…

Apple Strudel
Apple strudel can be tough to make since the tough is meant to be super thin (apparently you’re supposed to be able to read a newspaper through it. There’s a lot that can go wrong with apple strudel so we decided to use an America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) version. Instead of stressing with making the…

12 Days of Christmas Baking- Pastry Edition Day 12: King Arthur’s Almond Galette
Final day! I’ll be honest, this wasn’t easy. Our oven went out three weeks ago so I’ve been borrowing people’s kitchen since then to make these recipes. Many thanks to all those who allowed me to do a bit of a kitchen takeover! Because of the oven situation, I had to make some changes to…

12 Days of Christmas Baking- Pastry Edition Day 11: King Cake
Before I begin talking about the recipe I feel like I should give a disclaimer. Apparently you’re not supposed to eat king cake before Epiphany (Jan 6) because it’ll bring you bad luck. I’m not superstitious so I figured a little earlier wouldn’t hurt…. I’ve made a king cake twice before. The first time I…
