With so many zucchinis at my fingertips this summer, I’m having fun playing with different recipes for baked goods. These muffins were really good. Naturally, the kids loved them, but why wouldn’t they? These were definitely more cake than bread.Get New Recipessent to your inbox!Sign me up!We never share your information with third parties and will protect it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

In the interest of never tossing an awesome bagel just because you couldn’t eat them lightning fast, here’s my little hack for steaming day old, stale bagels at home, using just a sprinkling of water! While in Canada, we have eaten more pastries, bagels, and other awesome baked goods, than I can recall eating before in my life. There are two prominent bagel shops here in the Mont-Royal neighborhood of Montreal. Fairmount Bagel and...
I tasted Laffa Bread for the first time while visiting my sister over the holidays and it was bread-love at first bite. Chewy and elastic, laffa bread reminds me of both naan and pita bread, with a better flavor and chew. It is amazing to me that we are able to bake so many different breads, crackers, tortillas, and more, using the same basic ingredients. The grilling method used for cooking this bread gives it a unique flavor. Laffa bread...

On a night when I wanted a cobbler, but didn’t really want to bake; this was the ideal dessert. Fresh peaches and raspberries are lightly tossed with lemon curd and then baked until soft. The fruit is sweet and tart and unbelievably fragrant when it comes out of the oven. Topped with barely sweetened whipped cream, this was a much nicer dessert than I anticipated. This would also be delicious with vanilla ice cream. Get New...
Several years ago, a sweet friend of mine requested a Flourless Chocolate Cake for her birthday. I’d never heard of it before, but she told me that she had fallen in love with it at a restaurant once and wondered if I could make her one. I found a number of different recipes and I tried a couple of them. Then I made this one and it took my breath away. I’ve made this cake several times over the past few years and every time this is served,...
Chewy, buttery sweet oatmeal cookies that taste like toffee; the pictures of these cookies simply do not do them justice. I’ve made them three times now and they are devoured within hours of baking. I have some of these in the freezer now, waiting for my trip, along with the Lemon Crinkle Cookies and Delicate Chocolate Cookies. My brother asked me to post the recipe, as soon as he tasted these. These are deceptive...
Last year, I was staring down a pile of cherries and wishing that I owned a cherry pitter. After making a gigantic mess and spending a ridiculous amount of time pitting them with a paring knife, I decided to buy one before the next year. I was lucky enough to borrow one from a friend in the meantime and while it did an awesome job of pitting the cherries, it sprayed cherry juice all over us and the kitchen counters. After looking around online...
After picking up a bunch of cherries this past week, I wanted to bake them into something richly chocolate. I didn’t want to try a new recipe though and I wanted to use ingredients that were already in my house. I remembered my childhood brownie recipe as being very simple and all made in a single pot. This is a simple one-pot brownie recipe that never disappoints. As proven by my own past, even a child can make these. I’ve converted the...
I made this for dinner last week and liked it so much that I have already made it again. My family loves German Pancakes; traditional, grain or gluten free. However you make them, German Pancakes are always delicious. This version is one of my favorites. Sweet enough from the apples, all the finished pancake required was a light dusting of powdered sugar. I tried a bite with maple syrup and it was delicious, but I still...
