Masala Chai and Whiskey Tea Cake
I'm a big fan of tea cakes. They're quick to make, great to snack on and handy to have when friends pop over for a visit. Plus, they're an excuse for a quick mid-week bake! This one is fall inspired and pairs perfectly with Builder's Tea. In a pinch coffee will do, but there's nothing better than strong black tea (we recommend PG tips) and a slice of this spicy, sweet treat.
Apple Coffee Cake
This apple cake recipe is actually a blueberry cake recipe that’s been reworked. It’s a family favorite and nobody knows the exact origins, but there’s rumor of a very stained/browned newspaper clipping tucked into a homemade recipe book in my grandmother’s kitchen.
Panch Phoron Soda Bread
Cooler days are here and we're craving warm, simple eats. This bread is easy to make and quick to disappear. Full disclosure, we had it for dinner last night, breakfast this morning and paired a chunk with today's lunch. There's no such thing as too much Panch Phoron Soda Bread!
Maple Cranberry Gingerbread
Festive Maple Cranberry Gingerbread is a beautiful and delicious addition to your holiday table.
Tuscan Garlic Bread
We love this simple preparation of delicious, flavorful garlic bread using SKORDO Tuscan Oil Blend. Crusty Italian bread, parmesan cheese, garlic, butter and the flavors of Tuscany... What's not to love? This entire recipe can be tweaked depending on your preferences (i.e. more or less garlic, more or less cheese).
Focaccia with Caramelized Onions, Pear, and Blue Cheese
We love this focaccia recipe because it not only tastes wonderful, but its also easy to make. The honey, caramelized onions, pear, and blue cheese are the perfect blend of savory and sweet.
Pumpkin Spice French Toast
I'm a huge fan of anything and everything pumpkin. After enjoying a pumpkin pie (obviously), many (and I mean many) pumpkin spice lattes and even some pumpkin flavored ice cream, I needed a new recipe to enjoy. Then I came up with this gem!
Sausage and Apple Stuffing
This is easily our favorite stuffing recipe...and we've tried many over the years. We prefer the varying texture that large cubed french bread provides over cornbread.
