This simple easy bread recipe came about because I was reading about hygge recently. The Danish (which I am…partly) love to keep some soup simmering on the stove, so I thought “what would be better with a nice hot bowl of soup than some freshly baked bread?” This is a free-form loaf baked in a …
I was in the mood to bake a cake that involved almond extract, and this easy almond cake fit the bill. I love the way this cake makes the house smell while it’s baking, it’s very easy to put together, and doesn’t involve any exotic ingredients. While I intended this cake as a dessert, I …
Lately, it seems like basic banana bread is everywhere as if it’s the official baking assignment of quarantine. Since I had two pretty big bananas that were overripe and rapidly declining, I figured I’d throw my hat into the banana bread ring! This is meant to be a very simple recipe, but if you want …
After making a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough for my peanut butter chocolate cake, I wanted to make a version of the dough to bake off for cookies. This recipe can be doubled easily, although in my house having lots of cookie dough readily available can be rather dangerous…
I love a cakey cookie, and that’s what these soft-baked chocolate chip cookies are… soft pillowy cookies of chocolaty goodness.

Apple cider pound cake can be stored, loosely covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days, or you can freeze it for up to a month. I wound up with leftover cinnamon-sugar topping, so I stored that in a tiny container for future use (i.e. oatmeal topping or cinnamon toast). Please note, while I …
These basic vanilla muffins are the most simple muffins I’ve ever made. One quick tip if you’re pressed for time: to get your milk to room temperature quickly, measure the milk into a Pyrex measuring cup, then microwave it for roughly 20 seconds. From there I added my butter, eggs, and vanilla bean paste to …
This would make a great birthday cake for someone who loves all things chocolate and peanut butter! I have no idea what kind of succinct name to assign to this chocolate cake… but it’s all the wonderful joyousness of chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookie dough, and peanut butter. How bad can that be? This is …
Most days during the week the easiest breakfast for me to get on the table is a muffin and a piece of fruit (usually a banana)… but I usually buy my muffins. A few months back I bought one of those oversized muffin pans off of Amazon to make bakery-style muffins at home. These chocolate …
