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 yourContinue reading “Caramelized Pear Quiche”

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 atContinue reading “Gingerbread”

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 beContinue reading “Yaki Noodles”

Cranberry Sauce

I highly suggest it on charcuterie, a cheese plate, or leftover turkey sandwiches. Ingredients:340 g./12 oz. cranberries 1 large orange, zested andContinue reading “Cranberry Sauce”

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 beContinue reading “Marshmallows”

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.Continue reading “Margarita Cupcakes”

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 theContinue reading “Crepe Mille”

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 stirContinue reading “Sourdough Sweet Stuffed Pastries”
