Happy Pi(e) Day

 

A perfectly imperfect mixed berry pie. 

Pump/Kin

 

...bread, that is, for the first day of Fall!

Yerm

 

Chocolate chip pumpkin bread...delicious (and very very rich!). 

Pie/Pie

 

Pecan pie and pumpkin pie...yum! (Two butterscotch pies, not pictured here...)

Happy Irish Soda Bread Day

 

Pretty darn yummy!

Yerm

 

These called themselves "cardamom (donut-ish) tea cakes." I think the "donut" part is reflected in the sugary topping, while the end result of the "cake" is rather muffin like. They are quite tasty, whatever they are! 

(And yes, that is a big divot in that one at right up there. The recipe said "pop them out of the muffin tin"--um, there was no "popping" involved, more like trying to use an offset spatula and them shaking them out of the tin. Popping, indeed! 

Pan de los Muertos

 

Tan delicioso.

Bready Today

On blustery/chill/windy/blowy/cozy/homey/comfy Mondays, we bake bread!
 

Cake Collab

B. and I worked together to make this yummy apple cake. We wanted a cake with real apples in it (not applesauce) and this one fit the bill. 

And it has yummy cream cheese caramel frosting...

Bonus apple random heart!
 

Spiced Apple Cake

Yum! That is all.

Peachy Yerm

Not the prettiest, but a pretty yummy simple peach crumble.

Yerm

First clafoutis of the summer! (Even though really it's more hot-chocolate-by-the-fire weather here at the moment--"June gloom" overload...)

Banana Yum

Banana bread for breakfast...yum!

A Good Day

Today was lovely: I had coffee with a friend...

 Went to the nursery to buy some flowers for my front pot (I love violas--so sweet, like little flower butterflies)...

And I baked pumpkin bread. (I also had a massage but no photos of THAT!).

A good day!

Pie Time

 Butterscotch (made by my mom).

Sugar cream (made by me--check out the VERY wonky piecrust!).

The fillings taste delish, even if they are perfectly imperfect in appearance.

Yurm

 Cupcakes!

Yerm

Peanut blossom cookies (my niece thought the melted Hershey's kisses looked like the poop emoji, LOL!).

Figgy

Fresh fig clafouti! Very yum (if I do say so myself). You can make clafouti with any fruit; this is the first time I tried figs (which I adore), and it was a success.

Happy 3.14 Day (Pi Day, Pi[e] Day)

Today is Pi Day (3.14....etc.), so I made a pi(e).

This is a delicious (if I do say so myself) and simple buttermilk pie. Highly recommended!

Dead Pan

Before and after: the annual baking of Pan de Muertos, or bread of the dead (for Dia de los Muertos on Sunday). This bread is quite delicious, and every time I make it I tell myself to bake it more often than once a year. Maybe this year I'll remember!
