12 Days of Christmas Baking Day 12: Kringle

Monday night I started working on a Kringle using a different recipe and managed to misread the instructions and whipped the living daylights out of the butter, hence rendering the rest of the dough completely useless. It was very frustrating and a good reminder to read directions carefully. The recipe I had chosen was super…

12 Days of Christmas Baking Day 7: Czech Kolaches

Note to self: really take time to research recipes before committing to them. Had I taken a little longer to check out the recipes I chose I would have realized that close to half were bread recipes. Not only do I not have a ton of experience with bread baking, but it takes FOREVER! If…

12 Days of Christmas Baking Day 3: Conchas (Mexican Pan Dulce)

Wow… I thought yesterday tested my abilities. Today’s challenge stepped things up a little! First, I would definitely recommend watching the video under the instructions beforehand as it was really helpful to watch someone else doing this before starting.

Coffee Cake

Nothing is better than a lazy weekend morning filled with coffee cake and a good cup of coffee. I’ve tried a few different coffee cake recipes, but found a lot of them to be very dry or there isn’t enough cinnamon filling. I ran across this recipe a few years ago and it’s not our…

Orange Cranberry Bread
In an effort to clean out items in our pantry/freezer I decided to make orange cranberry bread. With all of our cookbooks packed I scoured the internet for a recipe to try and found one from Sally’s Baking Addiction and having all of the ingredients on hand I decided to give it a go. Normally…

Perfect Blueberry Muffins
Tonight’s ingredient: blueberries. I purchased these last week and knew if I didn’t do something they’d end up going bad before I could use them. I love blueberries muffins and decided this was a great time to try a new recipe. After a little research I found the Perfect Blueberry Muffin recipe from Smitten Kitchen.…

Mardi Gras King Cake
I had been craving king cake for weeks and being unable to find one in the grocery store I finally just decided to make one myself. I attempted a gluten free King Cake a few years ago and it did not go well (as many of my gluten free attempts turn out…). However, I decided…
