I cant believe its been a month since my last recipe post. The reopening of Chicago means I have to redevelop what my work day looks like; leaving less time for me to drop a word or two on Beyonce’s internet. Lately, I have received questions regarding healthy recipes and options. As the world reopens…
Boss Ass Banana Bread
Who else feels like they are being re-born to the world? The world is opening back up. I opened all my windows; letting the sun and air in. Most of you can take a guess at what came next. I started baking. The house is warm from the sunlight and the stove silently toasting edges…
Honey Sriracha Wings
I love a good appetizer. These sticky, sweet, and spicy party wings are deliciously simple and give off a restaurant quality. Its my “go to” recipe when I have guests and need a few finger food options. Just set out napkins and get ready to receive compliments to the chef. Ingredients: Whole Chicken Wings (…
Curried Carrots with Mint & Pumpkin Seeds
All the decorations and lights are up. The presents are under the tree and shipped to the far out loved ones we can’t visit this season. The only thing left to plan are holiday meals. I don’t know what it is but I don’t ever have the desire to put as much effort and sweat…
Cranberry Sweet Bread with Orange Glaze (Jingle Bell Bread)
I promised I would share some of my favorite holiday dessert recipes with you all. I have a note book dedicated to my baking scribbles stained with vanilla and butter fingerprints from me making constant changes as I go. More sugar here, less flour there. Let’s talk cranberries. I love these little red tart suckers….
Red & Green Velvet Peppermint Chip Cookies
I contemplate daily the type of home cook I am. More so, what type of website and business I am presenting to the public. Is it one of theory or feeling? In cooking both exist. In creation both exist. You can’t have one without the other. The best idea for me is to not choose;…
Sweet Potato Pancakes
This has been a week of solemn reflection. As I find some balance with the unsettling news of the passing of my uncle I am left desiring the company of love. What better place to seek it than in the arms of my family? I drove to my grandparents’ house, masked with a task to…
Pumpkin Spice Donuts
Go nuts for these homemade donuts! Forgive the sugary frenzy of recipes I have been sharing as of lately. My intentions are to share as many of my favorite holiday treats before they arrive. See I have good intentions. My intentions are as tasty as they are good. The one thing that adds to the…
Taffy Apple Cookies
In the spirit of autumn, apple picking, and farm fairs I am pulling this trick out of the oven. Taffy Apple Cookies bring the goodness of orchards and baked goodness to your home. The caramel, fresh apples, and nuts perfectly capture the essence of a good and sweet taffy apple. They also will give that…
Biscuits & Berries
Coming to you live from my kitchen nook/office space with this warm, tart, and sweet baked good. It screams afternoon coffee, cottage fireplaces, and oversized sweaters. There are a lot of recipes out there that call for biscuits from scratch. While I am usually the first to argue everything is just better when it’s made…
