Ten years ago today, I said “I do” to my husband Rob. Three kids later, we are still laughing, encouraging each other, and closer than ever. I had planned on baking a small anniversary cake but in light of what is happening in Haiti, my mind has been scattered with images and stories from this devastated country. In other words, no cake. Instead, I will leave you with an easy, romantic recipe for chocolate covered strawberries. [click to continue…]

I am happy to share with you one of my favorite breakfast dishes, Bourbon Croissant Bread Pudding. The first time I tried this was earlier in the year after discovering it SuperChef’s, Mirch Masala’s site. She adapted the recipe from Nigella and let me tell you, it’s a keeper. This dish is indulgent in every way. Buttery croissants, heavy cream, caramel sauce, and bourbon coming together for a special bread pudding suitable for any special breakfast or brunch. Day old croissants work best and if you don’t have croissants, challah would be a great substitute. I made this croissant pudding with leftover croissants I bought in bulk at Sams Club. Use what works for you and if you prefer rum, by all means knock yourself out. And of course you can just omit any alcohol all together. [click to continue…]

I love this time of year when Seattlites enjoy the last warm days of summer yet the smell of Fall is clearly in the air. Already I am compiling a mental list of Fall-type of desserts I would like to try. Having been the lucky recipient of Italian plums from my neighbors tree, I decided to bake an Upside Down Plum Cardamom cake. I thought the cardamom would compliment the plums nicely and yet add enough spice to make this the first of many fall desserts soon to come. This cake did not disappoint and was devoured very quickly when served. If you are looking for the perfect cake to bring to a potluck, serve for dessert, or to indulge in all by yourself look no further. [click to continue…]

This morning I woke up at 6am to a quiet house. Everyone was still fast asleep giving me just what I needed to make my husband a manly breakfast pan”cake”. The result was a fun breakfast for everyone. So Happy Father’s Day to all you papas out there!
Recipe for Breakfast Pan”cake”
4 – 8″ pancakes
1 cup of whipped cream
1 cup of sliced strawberries
1.5 cups of roasted potatoes
1.5 cups of scrambled eggs
1 lb. of cooked bacon
Instructions:
Lay the first pancake down on a plate or serving platter. Add a layer of roasted potatoes all the way to the edge. Add another pancake and add the scrambled eggs. Add the third pancake and add your bacon. Add the final pancake. At this point if everything is cold, you will want to microwave everything for 3 minutes right before serving. Top off with strawberries and whipped cream and serve immediately. Enjoy!!
Cut carefully just like a slice of cake.
The slice will not likely stay intact but still doesn’t take away the specialness of its presentation. Serve with butter and maple syrup!

We love Sunday mornings around here. It is truly the only day of the week most everyone sleeps in. My son however has not learned the “sleeping in” on Sunday ritual. So when he gets up, I get up. I start the day making myself a cup of coffee and start baking. This morning I decided to bake an apple coffee cake. I love this recipe because it is not overly sweet and the warm apple slices baked inside shout “this cake is made with love” in every bite. And the scent of cinnamon and [click to continue…]
