I'm so excited that Fall is officially almost here! I'm looking forward to the cozy feeling it brings, the cooler weather, and letting out all the PUMPKIN recipes that have been swirling around in my brain for the last couple of months. Open the floodgates - hope you are ready for this!
Super moist yellow cupcakes topped with a creamy Nutella buttercream frosting. Nothing beats a classic yellow cupcake. Especially when they are homemade and topped with a rich Nutella buttercream. If you have not had Nutella before you must go try it now! Nutella is a sweetened hazelnut chocolate spread.
Does anyone remember those cinnamon crispas that you used to be able to order at Taco Bell? Oh man those were good. Sadly, they were yanked off the menu and sent to Taco Bell heaven in the late 80's. I'm sorry to say they were replaced by the cinnamon twists which are not that great.
I've created a new Facebook group to help us keep in touch! If you are interested in seeing new Sweet Peas & Saffron posts, behind-the-scenes photos, and updates, join here! I made pancakes! Pancakes make me think of Saturday morning cartoons {the old banned kind, when the Wile E Coyote/road runner shenanigans were kind of violent}.
These skinny lemon blueberry cheesecake bars are lightened up using greek yogurt and less sugar. Perfect for when you're craving something sweet, but want something a little lighter. One of the most popular recipes on my blog are these lemon raspberry cheesecake squares and for good reason!
These pizza pinwheels are the perfect little appetizer for pizza lovers! If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you've probably realize how much I love pizza by now. If I had to choose one food to live off of forever (besides dessert, obviously) it would definitely be pizza!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones: The ultimate scone for fall. A perfect scone packed with pumpkin pie flavor, mini chocolate chips, and a cinnamon vanilla glaze. I've been on a pumpkin kick lately in case you haven't noticed. But, it's that pumpkin time of season and even though I'm practically pumpkin spamming you all, it's fall and socially acceptable to hail all things pumpkin.
A delicious finishing touch for ice cream, poundcake, fresh fruit, or a rich chocolate dessert, this red wine caramel is reduces to pure sticky delight. By Kate Donahue Red wine caramel sauce is not a new discovery, but I will tell you, if it's not something you've tried before then you truly must.
Few months ago I found this recipe in one of our cookbooks. It's called Bake-a-boo - the cookbook of a one of the cutest London's bakery shops, and we know now there will be more treasures to be found in it.
I have to admit I first heart and tried clafoutis (pronounced cla-foo-tee) few days ago. I don't know how, but I've been somehow missing to encounter this simple traditional French dessert.
