Here’s the Damn Wedding
Caramelized Pear Quiche
This was an unexpected hit, and a different enough recipe from my standard quiche to write down on its own. It doesn’t sound like it would work, but is freaking delicious. Ingredients (I included actual measurements, but this is really a toss-it-all-together recipe, a bit more or less of anything won’t hurt, adjust to your…
Gingerbread
Note: This is construction gingerbread. If you want soft cookies or cake, this is not it. If you want to build the gingerbread design of your dreams, this is the absolute best version for it, in my opinion. This makes about three decent-size houses, approximately 8″ x 10″. The pattern I use is attached at…
Yaki Noodles
These came out absolutely great, so thought I would share. It is super easy and can be made with any noodles, I used buckwheat soba noodles for this picture. You can also use basically any veggies. I will list what I used below. I made it as a veggie side dish, but it would be…
Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry sauce is pretty damn simple and doesn’t really require much attention, just some time. And it tastes so good. Make a bunch and keep it in the fridge to put on things. I highly suggest it on charcuterie, a cheese plate, or leftover turkey sandwiches. Ingredients:340 g./12 oz. cranberries 1 large orange, zested and…
Marshmallows
This is the basic recipe I use. To change it up, you can replace the syrup or water, or add spices. Note that chocolate marshmallows are hard! The consistency changes quickly, so I suggest starting with vanilla, then start working on your combinations. I will add some ideas in another post (eventually). I will be…
Margarita Cupcakes
By popular demand! Perfect for something GREEN! A quick note: this recipe really works best as a margarita, i.e. with the tequila – the cupcakes are quite tart alone, so if you are looking for a general lime cupcake, up the sugar content/lower the limes and don’t bake quite as long to leave them moist.…
Crepe Mille
So, this is the basic recipe I use for a crepe mille. I will try to update with the variations as I make them. CREPES Note: I like to make my crepes and pie crusts with browned butter. Reducing the water content gives you a bit more texture in the bake and I love the…
Sourdough Sweet Stuffed Pastries
This is the recipe I use to make cinnamon rolls, chelsea buns, stuffed breads, pastries…basically anything pastry-like. It makes a square pan of large buns or a large braided loaf or a dozen or so pastries…use your imagination! Warm in saucepan until melted/just steaming: 160 g. whole milk 2 T./30 g. butter In bowl stir…
Crustless Quiche
My recipe! So easy! Pick any things to put in it! Ingredients: 8 eggs 250 g. whole milk 8 g. baking powder butter for baking dish fillings (2-3 cups-ish) salt and pepper herbs and spices 375 F/190 C oven. Whisk together eggs and milk. Sprinkle baking powder over top and whisk well again. Add in…
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Want to follow along? I will be making this on TWITCH.TV/NASCMILE on 5/10 at 1 pm EST, and a vod will be available later. We will also be making sourdough starter! My secret? A few hours or up to a day before you are going to make these, start rehydrating your raisins in bourbon. Gives…
Balsamic Roasted Pork Tenderloin & Roasted Mixed Vegetables
A VERY ELDERLY CAT decided to have a batch of zoomies and turn off the WHOLE DAGNABBIT COMPUTER during a giant manuscript edit today, so this is a quick writeup. A more thorough one to come at some point! Maybe! All baked in 350 degree F/175 degree C oven for about 30-45 minutes. Pork should…
Banana/Pumpkin Bread
(Why this picture of my grandparents? One of those layers is this recipe! Really! My grandfather LOVES bananas, chocolate, and peanut butter, preferably combined. For their combined 80th Birthday/59th Anniversary extravaganza a few years ago…yes, those three things all fall on the same day…I recreated their original wedding cake, seen in the picture, with their…
Bourbon Apple Cake Normande
Recipe from when I felt like Tarte Normande but didn’t want to make pastry crust. There are two optional toppings at the bottom, Vanilla Custard Sauce and Salted Caramel. This is an easy recipe – it can be made with mostly ingredients from your pantry, doesn’t need anything more complicated than a few bowls, a…
Rice Pudding
Stirred creamy and delicious

Disclaimer: This Blog is for Bakers
To be clear, the recipes on this blog are not going to be step by step, walk you through, pic-of-every-addition style. I am sharing the recipes that I have created myself – originally based on something else, but tested and modified very heavily through years of baking. If you are a new baker or not…
Irish Potatoes
Makes 150, depending on size. If you are quarantined, probably want to halve or quarter this recipe. I am a huge fan of sharing baked goods BUT DON’T DO IT DURING QUARANTINE. Wash your hands. Ingredients: 1 stick butter, softened1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened2 t. vanilla8 c. 10x sugar5 c. flaked coconut (unsweetened…
