As stated numerous times here, I’m just not a fan of (most) fruit desserts – I don’t like tart/creamy things (i.e. Lemon Meringue Pie, Key Lime Pie) and I don’t like HOT FRUIT! But on Thanksgiving, you just have to give the people what they want, and the people want apple pie. This recipe popped......
Like I mentioned in my October recap, for some reason I had a vision of a Halloween cookie platter stuck in my head for the whole month. I made it a reality, and brought everything to work for some happy sugar rushes (and crashes). The first two cookies were some of my faves “Halloween-ized” –......
A full year ago, I woke up with a Cinnamon Roll craving, rolled out of bed and made the only other traditional* Cinnamon Roll recipe on this blog. It’s a Pioneer Woman classic that I hadn’t remade in the ten years since I posted about it**, and I was underwhelmed. This is mostly due my......
People have started coming back to the office! Last week I had two of my co-workers come back for a day, so I welcomed them with this Pumpkin Coffee Cake which was a big hit. This week two different teammates were in, so I used up the rest of my pumpkin puree from the can......
My brother Joel texted me back at the beginning of June: “Dessert Person banana bread out today, may have to put it up against mom’s banana muffins”. I immediately got excited about a Banana Bread face-off/blind taste test/throwdown because our Mom’s Banana Muffins are THE BEST. We’ve been eating them our whole lives, so I......
I had a day off last week, so I thought it would be a fun project to tackle Claire’s Walnut Maple Sticky Buns. While I’ve made Cinnamon Buns a couple of times over the years, I’ve never made Sticky Buns. I just don’t gravitate towards treats with nuts in them, so this isn’t really something......
I created a poll in my Instagram stories last week to see what recipe people thought I should make next from Dessert Person. The options were: Malted “Forever” Brownies, Coffee Coffee Cake or Poppy Seed Almond Cake. I knew Kristine would vote for Coffee Coffee Cake, but so did her sister and also responded with......
I had a nice little YEASTER streak going where I worked on a babka project on Good Friday for the last couple years. This year I switched to a Hot Cross Bun project, and true to 2020 form, it was a disaster. I took a break from yeast after that. When Sally posted this Apple......
Well this was the weirdest Mother’s Day ever, right? What even is Mother’s Day if you can’t hug your mom? Instead of brunch, pedicures, musicals and other fun stuff we’ve done in previous years, this time I just dropped off a package of treats on my Mom’s door step and we had a 6 foot......
Biscotti aren’t really my thing. They’re too crunchy and kind of bland, and what’s the point of a cookie you can’t eat without dunking in coffee or tea? I do however consider myself a biscotti making expert, since they’re the treat I used to always make for my favourite former boss (here are a couple......
