Easy mini Pain au Chocolat made with just 3 ingredients. This post may contain affiliate links, which help support the cost of running a blog. Pain au Chocolat is one of my husband's favorite bakery treats. And it turns out, it's amazingly easy to make at home. In fact, all you need are 3 ingredients, although I've added a couple of options if you want to kick them up a bit. (Just a little jam and a flurry of sugar at the end.) As a confession, if you make your own laminated dough ...
How To Make Perfect Strawberry Oat Scones
Tips for making perfect Strawberry Oat Scones (or any other kind of scone!!). There are a few things you need to know about making these Strawberry Oat Scones, or really any scones. First of all, they're easy and quick to make - once you know the tricks. And second, they're very flexible. Feel free to substitute other kinds of berries for the strawberries in this recipe. Add orange or lemon zest, or go wild with some herbs. Next time around, I've decided to add small sugared ginger ...
Vegetarian Quiche Lorraine with a Hash Brown Crust
Quiche is the perfect brunch or breakfast for dinner dish, and Quiche Lorraine is one of my favorites. But the traditional version from the mountainous Lorraine region in north-eastern France includes bacon. And, although I love a good Asparagus Quiche, today I wanted a vegetarian Quiche Lorraine. The Traditional Quiche Lorraine A quiche was originally a simple peasant meal of an egg and cream custard, with bread dough as the crust. Although we associate this dish with France, at the time Quiche ...
Healthy Apple Cheddar Muffins
It's still September and we've already had snow. It didn't stick around, except higher in the mountains, but seriously guys, how crazy is that?! The good news: this chilly weather gets me baking, so you'll be seeing some baked breads over the next few months. And first up are these best-ever Apple Cheddar Muffins. Because, really, what says autumn better than apples? Nothing. That's what. The secret in getting the soft fluffy texture in these truly amazing muffins was soaking oats in milk for ...
Double Baked Cheese Soufflé with Artichokes
Since double baked cheese soufflés are baked twice, there's no stress over them falling. They make a wonderfully decadent appetizer, side, or even a main dish with a salad. Why Double-Baked Cheese Soufflés are the BEST It's been a long time since I've made a soufflé. Like forever. For starters, they collapse so quickly that by the time they reach the table people wonder why I'm serving a pancake for dessert. And there's a lot of fuss around having a clean ramekin top and edge so nothing ...
Blueberry Scone Bread
First I overslept and woke to a phone call from the wonderful woman who runs the camp I take my dog to. Every Tuesday, just like the mail, I deliver Paprika there through sleet, snow, rain and shine. The camp manager wondered if Rika was coming today for a hike with her buds. Uh - isn't it Monday? No. Do You Have Days Weeks Like This? So this post was due yesterday, which explains why some of you got a blank page when you opened it earlier. When I realized I had the days wrong, I ran around the ...
And the Winner is….Spicy Skillet Eggs (Mexican-ish Shakshuka) !
A Mexican-ish twist on Shakshuka! Last week I posted a poll on Facebook, asking followers to choose between two dishes from the book that they would most like the recipe for. The choices were Spicy Skillet Eggs (a Mexican-ish twist on Shaksuka, a popular north African and Middle-Eastern breakfast) or a very easy Asparagus Risotto made in the Instant Pot. I promised to share the recipe for the winner on my blog, and here it is! The winner was a bit of a landslide, at least partly - IMHO ...

Healthy Caramelized Banana Bread with Einkorn Flour
Part of settling into a new home is figuring out how you'll entertain in it. We enjoy throwing dinner parties, and now that we have a house in Tahoe offering plenty of space to spread out, more family and friends are suddenly coming to stay for a few days. I practically worship people who make the entertaining thing look easy, so I've made a study of it over the years. I can tell you, it takes both a mountain of planning and the ability to relax with guests to make it all appear ...
Light Asparagus Quiche + Hash-Brown Crust
Gluten-free asparagus quiche made with leeks, Gruyere cheese, and a hash browns crust -- lightened with egg whites and low-fat milk. Quiche is the quintessential spring brunch dish. And asparagus is one of the first spring vegetables to show up at the market. So I like to kick off spring with Asparagus Quiche. This year I wanted to lighten it up. Ways To Lighten up Quiche Use a combination of eggs and egg whites in place of all whole eggs. When I want a rich egg-y quiche, I use a ratio ...
Soda Bread with Raisins and Orange Zest
On St. Patrick's Day, I figure we're all Irish. I must have some Irish in my background. Somewhere on a bright green branch of my family tree of English, Scots, and Scandinavians (the Vikings got around, you know). This month on #BreadBakers, we're celebrating this Irish holiday, and I confess a number of us chose to make a version of soda bread. I'm looking forward to seeing them all. The Irish aren't the first to use baking soda as a bread leavener, but they made it famous with this bread ...
Baileys Hot Chocolate + Coconut Whipped Cream
Bailey's hot chocolate drink topped with coconut whipped cream. Be sure to get the full-fat coconut milk - it makes all the difference. See how creamy that hot cocoa is? It's from the coconut whipped cream! I'll take it any day over regular whipped cream, and it's perfect with a Baileys hot chocolate. Seriously perfect. Now that we live in the mountains, and are experiencing apocalyptic amounts of snow, Baileys hot chocolate has been my go-to drink. How much snow, you might ask? A resort ...
