After the success of the cupcakes made with gluten-free flour, I decided cookies might be another good use for that flour. My cheese buddy suggested ricotta cookies, and the local passion fruit plants are dropping ripe fruits right now… so passion fruit ricotta cookies! This guessipe made over 40 cookies, and they were all consumed…

Lemon Ricotta Cupcakes
I was gifted a bag of gluten-free flour, and had absolutely no idea what to do with it. I happened to see an article that said gluten-free flour is actually better for making cupcakes with a more even crumb, and since I’ve been wanting to figure out uses for my gluten-free flour decided – what…
No-Knead Crusty Bread
A friend of mine shared this no-knead bread recipe with me a long time ago, and I’d made it a ton because it was so easy and delicious. The original recipe called for bread flour, but noted that you could also use all-purpose flour. I’d made it both ways, until one day I went to…
Mushroom-Scallion Soup
Cookbook Club – Joy of Cooking (2019 Edition) We have used Joy of Cooking for a Cookbook Club event before, but this time we focused specifically on the 2019 edition, which has hundreds of new recipes and modifications to some of the old ones. To get our tiny taste of what this extensive cookbook has…
Peach Blueberry Yogurt Cake
Still had some not-quite-peak-season peaches, as well as some blueberries that were a bit on the tart side. I thought baking them into a cake might be nice, and it was! I liked the aesthetic of the white and yellow peaches too. Guessipe 4 TBSP butter, softened 1 cup + 2 tsp sugar 2 eggs…
Peanut Soup
Cookbook Club – Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking Our August Cookbook Club selection was Toni Tipton-Martin’s Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking. To see our jubilee experience, go to my Cookbook Club site. For now – my dish! I’d never heard of peanut soup before, but the recipe…
Fried Heirloom Tomato Salad
More fun with heirloom tomatoes! Hearty enough to fry into a tasty topper for a bed of arugula. Drizzled with a creamy balsamic dressing, this made for a salad so good that my boyfriend (who’s preference is pretty much an all-carb diet) chose it over gnocchi. Guessipe 1/4 cup parmesan 1/8 cup cornmeal 1/8 cup…
Air Fryer Mozzarella Sticks
My cheese benefactor came through again – this time with a giant block of low-moisture mozzarella. And I mean giant. As in, so big that there was no way I was going to get through it before it went bad. So I had to come up with something, because I don’t let food go to…
Apple Olive Oil Bundt Cake
My friend who gave me the bundt pan started asking when he’d be getting another bundt cake. I’ve had an itch in my brain about olive oil cake ever since I had an amazing one at Osteria Mozza, and that was years ago! It was finally time to try my hand at making one. I…
Peanut Butter Swirl Brownie Cake
I wanted to make a cake for my boyfriend’s birthday, but as you might know I’m on Team Pie, so I wasn’t excited to make a typical birthday cake. What I came up with is actually a giant brownie pretending to be a cake… shhh, don’t tell my boyfriend because he loved it! It’s rich…
Mini Amaretto Cakes with Blood Orange Topping
After my Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Blood Orange Topping was such a hit, I found myself constantly thinking about how the amaretto made that topping shine. And it occurred to me that I could really showcase the amaretto flavor by using the blood orange topping on amaretto cake. I’d also been trying to come up…
Lemon Buttermilk Bundt Cake
My friend gifted me a bundt pan on the condition that he would get some bundt cake desserts at future dinner parties. I think he made that stipulation because he knows I’m on Team Pie. But I’m always excited to use a new kitchen thingamabob, so I set out to figure out bundt cakes. This…
