Of all the breakfast pastries in all the world, I would have to say almond croissants are my absolute favorite. True story! The soft buttery folds of dough, the flaky crust that shatters with each bite, the nutty sweetness from the gooey decadent filling, the taste and fragrance of almond – I love everything about [...]

Naturally when it is gloomy out I feel the need to bake. Even if I still have carrot muffins with graham frosting and chocolate chip cookies lying around the kitchen waiting to be eaten, I still feel the need to add one more sweet to the bunch. Having recently enjoyed reading about a jam cake [...]

So I was going to lie to you and tell you that I baked you carrot MUFFINS today for Muffin Monday, but who am I kidding. I put the most decadent graham frosting on top of these super fluffy and sweet carrot muffins so I can’t honestly call them muffins anymore. Once you put frosting [...]

I have a soft spot in my heart for lemon desserts. It all began many years back after one memorable and luscious lemon tart from Le Pain Quotidien. After that moment my love of lemon never ceased. The way a lemons tartness marries so perfectly with sweetness in desserts in something magical. Lemon tarts, lemon [...]

Why hello 2012 nice to see you! I know the start of a new year is usually ushered in by resolutions, many of which involving diets or healthier eating or the call for more hours spent in the gym. Well I’ve never been one for resolutions – making them or sticking to them – so [...]

Happy Holidays everyone and Happy Muffin Monday! Here is a great way to round out the holiday season and use up all of that extra eggnog. While I’m not an eggnog fan, I am definitely an eggnog muffin fan. The warm, nutty and sweet creamy flavors of this muffin scream winter. My favorite thing about [...]

I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately. And I’m not talking about the usual holiday-season baking or muffin baking I do regularly. No, I’ve become a real, professional baker. I wake up at 4am. I’m in the kitchen by 5. Croissants are proofing by 6, and all of the morning’s baked goods are ready [...]

Have you been missing your Monday muffin fix like I have? After two muffin free Mondays brought on by holiday travel, I’m excited to get back into the swing of things with these blondie muffins. Honestly, I don’t know if I can even really call them muffins or if they should be considered breakfast or [...]

Some of my favorite sweet flavors seem to center around the holiday season. I’m talking about pumpkin, apples, pears, anything mulled and spiced, and, of course, gingerbread. Oh gingerbread, I love eating you in December and then I somehow forget about you the rest of the year. I’m sorry about that and I promise to [...]
