Sunflower Seed Bourbon Pumpkin Bread

cherlyn — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 22:08:45 +0000

Every year, I look for new ways to fancy up pumpkin bread. If you’ve been following me for a while now, you’ll know that pumpkin bread is one of my favorite go-to recipes. I love how versatile it is, making it into muffin form or a more decadent feeling in a loaf. Some of the easiest add-ins are nuts, but I recently found this recipe (obviously now modified) that incorporates bourbon...

White Chocolate Chai Scones

cherlyn — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 21:22:51 +0000

It’s officially fall and nothing screams fall more than cinnamon and spice. One of my recent new flavors is chai spices after my friend got me really into drinking chai lattes. Chai spice, pumpkin spice, apple pie spice, what’s the difference? Actually they’re more similar than you think! They all use cinnamon, but a varying degree of it depending on if you want something more traditional or with...

Pecan Maple Apple Pie

cherlyn — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 06:15:32 +0000

Admittedly, the pecan and maple are primarily part of the crust. Either way this is an apple pie elevated for the perfect decadent fall bake. Pies are generally straight forward to make. One of the key things is making sure your crust doesn’t shrink by allowing it to rest in the fridge for a good 30 minutes and don’t over stretch the dough as you’re fitting it to the pie dish. If it doesn’t fit...

Pecan Pie Pithivier

cherlyn — Thu, 02 Dec 2021 06:48:13 +0000

I first heard about pithiviers from the concept of a french king cake, Galette des Rois. My friend who’s family is french told me about her favorite dessert that’s usually eaten during epiphany. Btw, epiphany is a holiday remembering the kings or wise men who visited baby Jesus. Galette des rois is a specific cake to the occasion and the general form of dessert is called a pithivier. Oh right...

Pecan Pistachio Pumpkin Pie

cherlyn — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 06:09:58 +0000

When you want to combine your two favorite pies… I present… the PECAN PISTACHIO PUMPKIN PIE!!! Basically party in the crust and your standard (but slightly upscaled) pumpkin custard. I love how simple pumpkin pies are and I absolutely cannot resist them. They’re one of the first bakes I’ve ever made and I don’t think it gets much simpler than this. A can of pumpkin, a can of milk, eggs...

Pumpkin Layer Cake with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Pecan Filling

cherlyn — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 04:13:42 +0000

It’s fall! And what screams more fall than pumpkins and maple syrup and pecans? Maybe some other flavors, but these are such classic fall flavors. I was inspired by Mike’s Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes when he posted them on Instagram and wanted to make them! But since I prefer decorating cakes over cupcakes, I decided to try a cake version. Plus, it was going to be my friend’s birthday on the weekend...

Easy Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins

cherlyn — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 15:26:16 +0000

As simple as it sounds, Pumpkin Cornbread is truly the easiest and yummiest recipe. Not sponsored by Trader Joe’s, but literally this is a 5 ingredient recipe made from all Trader Joe’s ingredients if you want. But highly highly highly recommend sticking to the cornbread mix from Trader Joe’s. Oh yeah, that’s right, this recipe isn’t 100% made-from-scratch like my previous recipes.

Hazelnut Pear Tart

cherlyn — Thu, 24 Sep 2020 14:09:47 +0000

It’s fall and and there really aren’t that many fall fruits except for varieties of pears and apples. Autumn harvests are primarily rooted vegetables and squashes, which lend themselves to a wide range of uses. Contrary, it seems limited to only have pears and apples as the seasonal fruit. But, actually they’re super versatile in both savory and sweet dishes. As a baking blog, though...

Bourbon Peach Pie

cherlyn — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 14:13:59 +0000

Mmkay, this Bourbon Peach Pie recipe is coming to you in the late-summer season, practically autumn even if you’re living up in the northern hemisphere. But, let me tell ya, this is one of the most perfect ways to end summer! The dark, rich flavors of bourbon give that wonderful autumnal depth to the pie to balance the bright fruitiness of the peaches. And of course the best, buttery (but not high...

Who’s excited for fall??? I used to say that I loved all seasons, they each have their own personality and fun. But I mean fall! All the colors of the leaves, just bursting out in flavors of red and orange hues before they fade away to winter. And of course, all the lovely and warm comfort foods! What better than Autumnal Morning Glory Muffins to start of your day as we enter the fall season?

Simple Almond Croissants

cherlyn — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 03:19:13 +0000

This is the lazy person’s recipe to almond croissants which are traditionally twice baked. I’m all in for simplifying recipes as long as the taste is still amazing, which these are!! They’re super flaky on the outside, while soft and moist on the inside, and the almond filling beautifully sweet hits the spot. Let’s talk about croissants for a sec, shall we? I lived in France for 3 months and the...

Chocolate Financiers

cherlyn — Wed, 15 May 2019 01:42:32 +0000

I love making and eating madeleines, but financiers have been a newer recipe in my repertoire. I’ve never seen it in a bakery until I visited Paris and had to get them. And boy were they good! Even then, I was sticking to my good ‘ole madeleines (also a French commodity). Honestly, it was just the lack of a financier pan that stopped me from making financiers. I could have easily solved this...
