  • Sharna’s granola

    A recipe based off of what our friend Sharna does. Very tasty!

  • Tarte tatin

    The original recipe comes from “Fine Cooking”, the October/November 1994 edition. Steven Payne made it for us which was quite nice. The original called for a light butter shell, which was then changed by a recipe that Michelle likes. No spices were in the original.

  • Graham Crack(ers)

    The new favorite treat in the house. The graham crackers are from Good to the Grain and the chocolate caramel addition is adapted from a Smitten Kitchen recipe who adapted from David Lebovitz, who adapted it from Marcy Goldman.

  • Sables au Citron

    A quick and very tasty recipe. This is also really nice since it can be frozen and baked at a later day.

  • Cardamom Cinnamon Rolls

    Tasty and not a crazy amount of work. Works well for brunches. Based off of a Paupered Chef recipe.

  • Tartine Country Bread

    This is a very, very tasty bread recipe. I am addicted to the loaves at Tartine itself. The nice thing about this recipe is that it does not involve kneading, so it is low-stress. I consider this a work in progress and will put my reactions in the comments section.

  • Cinnamon Bread

    My mom used to make cinnamon bread when I was a little kid. We had a salamander in that house which made rising dough a cinch. We moved when I was 10 and that was the end of the cinnamon bread. Here is my first attempt at recreating it.

  • bagels!

    I have been meaning to try this recipe for over a year now. Why this necessitates having a kid, I’m not sure. Now I have less time. Thank goodness for mother-in-law’s!

  • Ethiopean Honey-Spice bread

    This is a standard bread recipe for me. I have been mucking about with it for the last year or so. I don’t think I *have it* just yet, but this entry is a good work in progress.

  • Jacked up Banana bread

    A simple banana bread recipe, with a twist. This is adapted from a Smitten Kitchen recipe. The original is a one-bowl kind of operation. Since I have a mixer and am lazy, I prefer to do it in the mixer and be a little more complex.
