• Gluten Free Vanilla Biscotti

  

  When I worked at a coffee shop we used to get wonderful biscotti from a local vendor. My favorite was a chocolate biscotti dipped in white chocolate with some crushed peppermint. I’ve been in the mood for some good biscotti and the store bought stuff just doesn’t cut it so I decided to start off…

• Peppermint Macarons

  I’ve been wanting to try macarons again since round one didn’t go as well as I had hoped. As I mentioned on that post, there are a lot of things that can go wrong with macarons as they’re a bit finicky. I made the others during summer and since we live in the Southeast region…

• French Macarons

  Note: check out the updated post on macarons here! I’ve been baking a lot of cakes and cupcakes lately and decided it was time to try something different. Wanting a bit of a challenge I decided it was time to finally try french macarons. King Arthur’s recipe seemed pretty straight-forward and the last several recipes…

• Tea Latte

  Over the last few years I’ve become more of a tea enthusiast and one of my favorite drinks now is a tea latte. I worked as a barista in a coffee shop for years and tried almost every drink on the menu except a tea latte (a.k.a. London Fog). Maybe it was because I needed…

• Vanilla Sables

  After my failed attempt at the Poppyseed and Lemon Cake I was a little apprehensive to try another Great British Bake-off recipe, but after a disappointing dinner we wanted to finish the evening off strong. In full disclosure, I had no idea what sables were before today. Apparently they’re the french version of shortbread cookies.…

• Poppyseed and Lemon Cake

  Let’s jump right into things… I’m pretty certain this is not how the cake is supposed to look. Given the ingredients I feel like this was supposed to rise more than it did and I’m not really sure what happened. Well, I do have some ideas… All of the recipes in this particular cookbook (see…

• Chocolate Chip Scones

  Super easy recipe! I was concerned about converting the recipe from metric to imperial system, but it didn’t seem to affect anything. In total, the entire process took about 30 minutes (including baking time) so this is a fairly quick recipe. We used Crosse and Blackwell Orange Marmalade which seemed fitting and it added a…
