Lemon Cake Pie, revisited
After binge-watching The Great British baking Show/The Great British Bake Off… I just had to get into the kitchen and bake something myself! If you are you interested in a Technical Challenge, lift the gingham cloth and try this recipe! Lemon Cake Pie is so yummy and unique. The top layer is spongy and the…
Make Your Own Cake Flour
How many different types of flour do you own? Technically, I have 5… 6 if Masa counts? Cake flour is one of those 6, but not one I use often. Despite what the name implies, it is not used whenever you are baking a cake. When you are trying to bake something with with a…

Luckily, berries freeze well, so it’s a good time to stock up. By comparison, the same amount of “Kroger brand” blueberries bought in the freezer section…
Playing in the Kitchen: Chili Colorado #CincoDeMayo
When I saw an article on Bon Appetit called Chili Colorado is the Greatest Recipe Of All Time last month, I pinned it for later. Usually skeptical of anything touted “of all time,” I’ve had success with Bon Appetit recipes in the past. And this particular magazine seems to have the right balance of taking…
Playing in the Kitchen: THE Banana Bread
This is my family’s new go-to Banana bread recipe. Since I was a kid, we had always defaulted to The Fannie Farmer Cookbook version of Banana bread. It is quick, made from ingredients we had on hand, and didn’t require a stand mixer. But the bottom always over cooked by the time the center was done….
