Cornflake Chocolate Chip Scones with Coffee Glaze

I’ve eaten a lot of scones in my time, and I can declare that there is a very wide range within the umbrella term “scone.” There’s, of course, a difference between American and British scones. But there’s also drop scones (like these or these), or a more shaped/cut triangle scone, like the ones I’m writing…

Knusperflakes Cookies

Before I get into these Knusperflakes Cookies, I’m going to share the only “wisdom” I’ve gleaned from my few years in the workforce. My first two jobs were pretty unique in that they were at “dream companies” – first at the Milk Bar flagship in LA, and then at Dreamworks Animation. And for a while,…

Tofu Almond Butter Cucumber Sandwiches

It’s amazing how long things can last on my to-do list. I recently went back and edited footage from me and my siblings’ 2022 trip to Coachella. I’m only just now posting these Tofu Almond Butter Sandwiches, which has been sitting in my drafts since 2018!! I don’t want to talk about how many things…

London Fog Shortbread Bars

My family is somewhat divided into two camps: those of us who watch movies and TV more than average, and those of us who watch movies and TV sparingly, and only when they really want to. I watched 192 movies last year. I’ve just hit 100 for this year. My mom and brother have probably…

GF Banana Blueberry Muffins

These Gluten Free Banana Blueberry Muffins with coffee cake topping are a perfect brunch crowd pleaser. There’s something for everyone – a banana bread base, blueberries for people who like fruit, and the coffee cake crumble topping for those who want something a bit sweeter. I suppose they don’t appease the crowd who like double…
