How to Save Your Favorite Recipes {A Quick Video From Me to You π₯} + Two of My Favorite Recipes United in One Delicious Bowl
Friends, Hello! And Happy New Year π I have been meaning to create this video on how-to-save-your-recipes or such a long time. Nearly every month I get an email from someone asking: "Where are my saved faves?" Apologies to anyone who has found the saving process tricky. I hope the new video is helpful. This week I made two of my favorite recipes β sweet potato taco filling and slow cooker black beans β and found myself eating them together on repeat, often in bowl form like this: I hadn't made the sweet potato taco filling in such a long time, and I had forgotten how easily it comes together. I use the shredder attachment of my food processor to "grate" the sweet potatoes and in place of the spices I've been using a few teaspoons of Penzeys taco seasoning, which makes the process go just a teensy bit faster. You can use the filling for quesadillas, too:
Or burritos (also with the black beans):
I know I have sung the praises of these slow-cooker black beans countless times before, but if you have a slow cooker, I can't recommend the recipe enough: it can be assembled in about 5 minutes in the morning and the beans will be cooked by midday. I use this same method for chickpeas, too, but the chickpeas take a little longer to cook.
I can eat these beans straight from the pot β they are perfectly seasoned and just so tasty!
Friends, I hope all is well! And that you survived the holidays. Homebody that I am, I am so happy to be back in my routine. Hope you are, too.

Friends, good morning from Long Island (again!) βοΈ I hope you all had a week as glorious weather-wise as we did here in Upstate New Yorkβbright blue skies every day, crisp mornings, warm, sunny afternoons, the most perfect walking weather... I'm dreading the season's end. This week, I made progress on both the morning buns (above) and the chocolate croissants (below) using this cheater's croissant dough recipe. The overall feedback from the family on the chocolate croissants? Too much...
Friends, hello. This week, I had so hoped to make progress on the Tartine morning buns I shared last week, but I got distracted. Shortly after sending the email, one of you asked if the cheater's croissant dough could be used to make Christmas Star Bread, and shortly after that, the chocolate I ordered to make chocolate croissants arrived. So I made a double batch of dough... But that's as far as I got. The experiments will continue this week. The real distraction this week was last night's...
Hi Friends, Remember that cheater's croissant dough recipe we made in early summer? This week I used the dough to make morning buns, following the recipe from Tartine: Revised Edition, and while they didn't immediately transport me back to my favorite cafe, they turned out very well, and the children were very, very happy. The buns reheated well on multiple mornings, and with every reheat, the kitchen filled with the smell of cinnamon and orange zest. Heaven! I'm hoping to post the recipe...
