Thanksgiving Recipe Round-up
Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, giving thanks, and… dessert! Over the years we have compiled quite the list of fall-thanksgivingy treats. Whether you are just beginning, in the middle of, or finished with preparations – or even if you’re not in charge of the food festivities at all this year, we hope the recipes below give you some inspiration and get you in the holiday mood.
Lemon Ginger Zinger Doughnuts with Honey Butter Glaze
Ari recently hosted a brunch bridal shower, for one of her best friends since high school. While brainstorming about what we could bake, we decided on making two different kinds of cupcakes. What breakfast/brunch isn’t complete without cupcakes? We agreed that coffee and tea flavored cupcakes would be appropriate… and delicious! Salted Caramel Cocoa Coffee Cupcakes were a shoe-in for the coffee flavor, but we had to do some investigative work into what the bride’s favorite teas were to decide on the second flavor.
Churro Cake
Churro + Cake = Om nom nom nom… If you have a soft spot for cinnamon, sugar, and doughnuts this is the cake for you!
Strawberry “Rhubars”
We thought it couldn’t get any better than a slice of our Aunt’s Strawberry Rhubarb Pie… and while we still believe that this is true, these bars give it a run for its money. More
Bumblebee Birthday Cake with a Spiced Honey Buttercream
It’s that time of year again… When we plan and host a Birthday party for the little one in our lives. Last year our little monkey got a Banana Birthday Cake and Sock Monkey themed party, and this years inspiration came from her obsession with bumblebees. More
Blueberry Lemon Oatmeal Cookies
We believe that there are some combinations that were just made in heaven, and one of those is the pairing of blueberry and lemon. The idea for these cookies came courtesy of a head-strong toddler, who insisted that the chocolate chips in her mini-kitchen’s fake plastic chocolate chip cookies were, in fact, “Booberries.” We immediately thought, “That’s a great idea!” and off to the kitchen we went. . . . and a blueberry lemon twist on the traditional oatmeal raisin cookie was born.
Lemony Almond Ricotta Muffins
Mexican Chili Brownies with Marshmallow Meringue
If you are a fan of Mexican Hot Chocolate, or the pairing of chili and chocolate, these brownies are the thing for you. They have a much more sophisticated taste; while they are fudgey, they are not overly sweet; and the spices add a complexity with a delightful after-burn that leaves your tongue asking for more. More
Thick and Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
When we do “classic” recipes, we tend to give them a slight twist. So, when we decided to pursue the iconic oatmeal raisin cookie, we searched, adjusted, and tweaked until we ended up with a truly exceptional classic! More
