These biscuits are easy and amazing for any meal, but I served them for breakfast. I will definitely make them again so decided to share the recipe. Keep in mind that I live at high altitude, so the baking powder is needed in less quantity here. I added a tad more milk (as reflected below)…

Chocolate French Crullers with Raspberry Glaze
I received my subscription of Food & Wine magazine for the month of February and was inspired to make these after reading their Chocolate-Raspberry French Crullers with Fudge Glaze recipe. I tweaked it to my liking and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I live at an elevation of 7,700, so this recipe made double…

Mardi Gras Means King Cake

I have to say this is my first time to be served in a personal sized cast iron skillet and it was wonderful. This…
Mini fall pies and golfing in fall weather
These are two of my favorite things: baking and doing activities outside in crisp fall weather. “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” -Great Gatsby I used the same fillings as I used in my “Rustic Apple Pie” and my “Homemade Pumpkin Pop-tarts“ I fell for the fresh donuts…up just…
Rustic Browned Butter Apple Pie
This time of year reminds me of my love for fall recipes. Lately my time in the kitchen has been spent creating new fall treats. Here is one I came up with for my guest all the way from Sweden for her last night in town. We were in the kitchen over 4 hours (she pointed…
Montreal’s Bakeries and Coffee Shops
La Brioche Doree served the ristretto espresso just like back in France and Italy. They extract the perfect shot of espresso with the crema layer that the states can’t quite seem to pull off. O Plaisir Gourmands was the most impressive bakery I have ever experienced. Leave the pastry making to the French to perfect….
