Since our family loved Mokonuts’ Rye-Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies, I was pretty sure we were going to love these too. Also I make Multigrain Scones from Das Cookbook by Hans Rockenwagerner that includes flax seeds, sesame, seeds and sunflower seeds which is similar to this recipe. I had used up my current stash of rye…

Everything Cake
Dorie describes this cake as a sponge cake that is moist and a bit chewy. It does have one and half sticks of butter in it which almost qualifies as a butter cake for me. Dorie gives a multitude of variations for the cake, I went with orange as that is what I had on…
Free-Style Mushroom, Herb and Ricotta Tart
From Baking with Dorie, I have been waiting for an occasion to make this appetizer specifically for those that eat mushrooms. I ended up making this for a dinner party and I made only half of the mushrooms so my mushroom haters could enjoy too. This dish has three components: almond-herb crust, ricotta spread and mushroom…
Chunky Lemon Cornmeal Cake
I was lucky that one of my neighbors had some extra lemons from their tree for this recipe. I voted for this recipe since I had cornmeal and sumac on hand. I was looking forward to using the sumac that I bought when I was in Israel. This recipe is fairly easy to make. The…
Spinach-Mozzarella Pie with Parm Crumble
This savory pie from Baking with Dorie has three components and needs some planning ahead. I made the pie dough and parmesan crumble a day in advance. The day of baking, the pie dough needs partial baking. The filling of onions, shallots and spinach needs to be cooked, cooled and drained before adding to the…
Iced Spiced Hermits
Ever since I have purchased my copy of Baking with Dorie I have wanted to make these hermit cookies. My dad’s favorite cookies were hermits and I was feeling nostalgic which is why I kept nominating them. Thanks for finally bringing it to the schedule. Growing up my family was filled with girls, except my…
Mulled-Butter Apple Pie
The holiday pie baking season is upon us and I could not be more happy. I started our Thanksgiving week early by making this Mulled-Butter Apple Pie for Sunday night family dinner. This pie is different as it includes brown butter that has been steeped with a cinnamon stick, star anise, cardamom pod, black peppercorns…
Pecan-Cranberry Loaf
I am back from my lovely two week vacation in New England and Canada. Hi Mardi! Quebec was probably my favorite city. I was in part of the country that actually had fall weather, winter more like it, it snowed in Quebec the first day we were there. I am looking forward to fall baking,…
Chocolate-Covered Chai-Tea Bars
While making these bars, I was reminded of my favorite restaurant in San Jose, CA. I used to have to fly to San Jose once a month for work and I would always go to Jubba Restaurant East Africa Cuisine, they had the best spiced tea and fish wraps. If you are ever in the…
Devil’s Thumbprints
If these don’t get you into the holiday spirit then I don’t know what will 🙂 Our latest baking assignment comes from Baking with Dorie. This is a plan ahead cookie as the dough needs to chill for 2 hours. I decided to make a half a recipe which I am glad I did as…
