Friends, hello! And happy fall. Earlier this week my mother-in-law dropped off a bag of apple cider donuts from our favorite spot, Riverview Orchards. One bite of the warm, cinnamon-sugar shrouded treat sent me straight into fall-baking mode, and I drafted a weekend baking agenda: apple Dutch baby for breakfast, Bolzano Apple Cake for dessert, skins-on applesauce for snacking in between. Next week a friend is coming to town, and I'll be making the above-pictured French apple tart, which looks so pretty and is surprisingly easy to make. I hope you all find time to bake something delicious for yourselves this weekend ππππππ

A few weeks ago, while checking out at the grocery store, I impulsively purchased a holiday-bread themed magazine. What caught my attention was a homemade "take-and-bake" roll recipe. It called for baking the rolls at a very low temperature, 300ΒΊF, just until the rolls reached an internal temperature of 175ΒΊF; then cooling and freezing. When you were ready to bake, you simply popped that pan in the oven. As one of the most frequently asked questions I receive this time of year is "How can I...

I bought my turkeys! And made my bread for the stuffing! And stashed them both in the freezer. Friends, I never do these sorts of things, but I've decided: This is the year. This is the year we are going to be so organized that when Thanksgiving morning arrives, we're going to be bored β we're going to be sitting around with our crosswords, twiddling our thumbs, sipping our punch, wondering what else we could do: meal prep for the following week? Well, we can dream anyway. Last week, I shared...
