When I was in college, I lived in an apartment with three other girls. It was an incredibly run-down apartment, and it was near impossible to keep clean. And I don’t mean that in a lazy way. I think if you spent a day cleaning it, with no furniture or items in it, it would…
Blueberry Crumb Cinnamon Rolls
I have not been baking much this month! I prepped a lot of cookie dough for our classic Christmas cookies, and so with my family in town we’ve been having lots of cookie plates, and the recipes were not new. So it’s been a slow month on the blog front. Which is fine! I hit…
Chocolate Gingerbread Banana Bread Muffins
When my family goes on a vacation that requires grocery shopping to stock up our place for a week or two, it seems my role is to be the one to take home the leftovers. Which is fine, I elect to take this role most of the time. But it also means I have to…
Black Sesame Banana Bread
Last week was all about apple butter, this week is all about black sesame butter. Because I realized I still have some in my pantry from a while ago, and I should use it up. So I threw together this black sesame banana bread and used up 1/4 cup of it! The banana isn’t too…
Mini Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaves
After all that talk last week about how much I hated living in LA, I feel like a good chaser is talking about how much better Minnesota is. I feel like I’m still discovering new things every week (as with living in any city I guess). But one major thing: I live within very close…
Brown Butter Rye Banana Muffins (Using only one banana!)

Homemade Bagels
These bagels, like many things on this blog, are directly inspired by a GBBO episode. My mom and I were watching an episode from the 2020 season, and they made rainbow bagels. While I saw no reason to go through the rigamarole of dyeing bagel dough five different colors… I wanted to try making homemade…
Elote Cornbread
I’ve explained before how much my family loves Elote. So when we needed cornbread to go with chili one night, I figured I may as well put an Elote spin on it! This recipe also came about, much like these rye scones did, in my efforts to empty out my pantry of all the half-used…
