It's really starting to settle in over here. Fall, that is. The new season. Isn't there something just oh-so... romantic about the arrival of autumn? There's so much to look forward to! Pie crust crimping, and apple picking, and snuggie wearing! Oh and football. So much comfort in one season: how do you not fall ...
I like my tea strong, milky and sweet. Adapted from my XYZ Cake here in the archives, and inspired by the Yorkshire Tea Loaf I saw at Betty's online, this cake is just begging to be dunked. It's moist and buttery, but holds up well to a quick plunge, and then down the hatch it goes, very easily.
The past 2 days have been a whirlwind of celebrations over here in the Wood house. It was our anniversary on the 20th (yippee to 3 years!) & it was Landon's 28th birthday (an extra yippee!) Unfortunately he had an exam yesterday and another one today (what the heck, perfect timing school?!)
This Classic Carrot Cake recipe comes directly from our Mom's cookbook. This recipe is super old but it is my favorite, hands-down. Why mess with a recipe that is already perfect, right? The cream cheese frosting is our go-to recipe every time. It hasn't changed and it never will.
I have seen pumpkin snickerdoodles everywhere right now and I have been dying to make them. I love anything that has to do with pumpkin. But then I stumbled upon pumpkin snickerdoodles stuffed with cream cheese. Life doesn't get much better than that!
Brighten your day and forget the cold with this light and airy vegan coconut lemon cake! Toasting the coconut really brings out the flavor! Has it been cold where you live? Has it been downright cold-to-the-bone? It has literally been freezing where I live in Milwaukee, WI.
Are you a Downton Abbey fan or do you think it's the Masterpiece Theater equivalent of a fluffy meaningless soap opera? I don't really care what the critics may say, I am addicted. Regardless of increasingly complicated plot lines and lack of significant historical commentary, I can't take my eyes off the show and the characters.
Well hello friends, it's been a while. I know, I know. It's an old story. I spend too much time here apologizing for my absence, but when I'm gone because I'm working on my cookbook, I know y'all will excuse me because it's going to be amazing and you'll all love it.
I feel like I spend a lot of time describing recipes as "the best" or "the most popular" or maybe "the most successful" of the sort that I have ever made. My editor mentioned it to me recently. "You know, Miriam, if you keep telling your readers that the recipe is "the best you ever ...
A perfect dessert, these Apple Crumb Bars have sweet caramelized apples layered on top of a cookie crust and then sprinkled with a buttery streusel. Originally posted May 5, 2009 - As much as I love pumpkin season, right now I am taking advantage of the fresh crops of fall apples - one of my other favorite fall flavors!
