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......
It would be impossible to power rank all the carbs that I love, but English Muffins would easily crack the Top 5. I love them toasted with peanut butter and jam or as part of a homemade breakfast sandwich. There’s just something about all those toasty nooks and crannies! I always thought it would be......
I think the carby/bready recipes from Dessert Person have been my favourite so far. I loved the Soft & Crispy Focaccia and the Pecan Maple Sticky Buns; both were SO good (even if I was a little annoyed at Claire saying you need a stand mixer to make them). I was really excited when the......
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......
By now, we all know I’m obsessed with Claire Saffitz, but I do have one teeny tiny bone to pick with her. She is constantly saying in her videos that you need a stand mixer to make her recipes, and then sometimes she’ll reluctantly say with a sigh that you *could* use a hand mixer......
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......
And now presenting my favourite baking project so far in 2018: Chocolate Babka! I know I’m not the only person who first learned about Babka from Seinfeld (“You can’t beat a babka!”), and was reintroduced to it when I started reading Smitten Kitchen ten years ago. It’s a yeasted bread with a rich chocolate filling that......
Let’s recap this Oscar feast so far, shall we? First up was our red carpet snack, the Goat Cheese Spread with Garlic & Fresh Herbs. Then, the star dish, Beef Bourguignon, accompanied by My Favourite Mashed Potatoes and my house salad (kale, apple, parm, pecans and a honey dijon vinaigrette). Since I had fresh rosemary leftover......
So I have actually made Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls before, but as if I would pass up a chance to try the Baked boys’ recipe! I don’t need that much of an excuse to make spiced, carby goodness, and I mixed these up last weekend, which was Thanksgiving up here in the great white north. This......
Our Gastropost Mission this week was The Art of Hospitality, which perfectly coincided with having my friends Nicole & Geoff over for brunch to toast their engagement. I thought this would be a perfect chance to make a bunch of recipes from the breakfast chapter of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook, especially with Deb’s recent announcement......
