Soft and Fluffy Overnight Cinnamon Rolls
October 14, 2020Thick and Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes
September 25, 2020This has been my go-to pancake recipe for years. Thick and fluffy pancakes with bursting blueberry pockets. Who wouldn’t love that? The recipe is simple, fuss-free, and only needs one bowl and a few ingredients. I love to add the blueberries directly to the pancake batter but if you don’t have blueberries on hand, or if they are not in season, simply use frozen berries or omit them. The pancakes… continue reading »

Rosemary Gin Fizz
June 6, 2019The Best Egg Salad Sandwich, no Mayo
May 8, 2019This is it! My favorite egg salad sandwich of all time. It is rich and creamy (all without mayo), yet slightly tangy due to lemon juice, mustard, and sour cream. A tablespoon of chive adds some fresh and bright flavors. These are all the ingredients you’ll need – plus the bread and eggs. For a fresh and crunchy bite, I always add baby spinach. Field salad or arugula make… continue reading »
Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
April 24, 2019This carrot cake is moist, tender and coated with the most luscious cream cheese frosting (no butter, low-sugar). I particularly love this cake for Easter but of course, it’s a classic year round. Usually, a classic cream cheese frosting consists of cream cheese, butter, and a lot of icing sugar – typically 3-4 cups. I entirely omitted the butter for this recipe and greatly reduced the amount of sugar…. continue reading »

This pastry is made of yeasted dough that is deep-fried, and finally dusted with icing sugar before served. New Orleans Beignets was last modified: March 4th, 2019 by Ursula
