Pumpkin Spice Pecan Oatmeal Blondies
I know that it still feels like the peak of summer, at least during the day, but the evening tells a different story. We have reached the time of year where somehow both heat and air conditioning make sense. It is a complicated season, but it is officially Almost Autumn, that liminal period that isn’t…

Blueberry Cream Pie
Hard as it is to believe, there are only a few weeks left of summer. Soon we will be fully bathed in pumpkin spice, but not today. Today there are still fresh blueberries to be had, and while they might not be as juicy and perfect as they were a month ago, they are ideal…

Date Cake
This is my peaceful version of war cake, a cake that goes back at least until WWII. It didn’t lean too heavily on ingredients that may have been limited then, and honestly you won’t miss the eggs or milk. My favourite thing about this recipe is that it uses dates for both moisture and some…

Wednesday Night Brownies
Have you ever had one of those days where you think it is almost the weekend, only for someone to tell you that we are only halfway there? (Rude!) Then you get home, rummage around for some kind of treat, and realize your fridge has nothing in it but… vegetables. Never fear, there is a…

Spiced Sticky Toffee Pudding with Brown Butter Sauce
Some desserts never go out of style. Sticky toffee pudding is like the little black dress of desserts, if little black dresses were more fun. This dessert is warm, gooey, and unfussy. It can be made ahead, is impressive, and each person can decide how much sauce they want (all of it). Also, any leftover…

Invisible Apple Gingerbread Cake
There is an amazing, classic French cake called invisible apple cake. We will talk about that again soon, but for the moment, I crave ginger, cinnamon, and anything else that would have drawn Hansel and Gretel to the fateful gingerbread house in the woods. Enter the invisible apple gingerbread cake. It gives the hit of…

Apple Crumble Pie with Pecan Topping (Dutch Apple Pie?)
I’ve always heard this kind of pie referred to as Dutch apple pie, although I have no idea whether this is accurate or not. I will say that wherever this apple pie comes from, the people who developed it are a patient bunch. I usually try to avoid 2 day recipes, but I’m sorry to…
