Here’s another reason for us to buy the Bouchon Bakery Cookbook! These macarons were the first reason, and now these! Well, it’s safe to say if we every find ourselves near a Bouchon Bakery, we will be making a stop, because these scones are really truly delicious. The texture is cakey and tender on the…

Crunchy Maple Coconut Granola
The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook has yet another winner in this granola! Most of the time we (or our mom) have made homemade granola, it tasted good but wasn’t super crunchy. This one definitely is. The secret to giving it its crunchiness is an egg white, something that sounds weird in granola but actually makes it…
Oatmeal Muffins
This is the time of year where nearly every blog has Superbowl recipes plastered over its front page, boasting cheesy dips, sliders, and two-bite treats that probably taste as awesome as they look. Regretfully, we aren’t planning on making any game day appetizers until Sunday, but we can assure you that those recipes will be…
Pesto Focaccia
Focaccia is something we have always had mixed feelings about. A lot of the focaccia we have had is kind of salty and crispy, almost like a cracker but thicker and more chewy (and more often then not, bland or way too herby). But then again, we had never had it homemade before, and 95%…
Cranberry White Chocolate Ricotta Scones
The combination of cranberries and white chocolate is a wonderful one. The sweetness of the white chocolate seems to really work well with the tartness of the cranberries. In fact, one of our favorite store-bought cookies is the white chocolate cranberry oatmeal dunker from Trader Joe’s! It is the best! Anyway, back to the scones….
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
We both love lemon poppy seed stuff. There’s something so fresh and delicious about the combination. These muffins were no exception! A while ago, we made lemon poppy seed muffins and they were dense, dry, and lacking muffin flavor. We set out to find a better recipe, and we did! These muffins are tender, vibrantly…
Eggnog Muffins
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their families and friends! We had a nice, quiet Christmas at home with our grandparents and family, enjoying some delicious baked goods and their company! These muffins were actually our breakfast Christmas morning, and they were too delicious not to share, even though Christmas itself is technically…
Ricotta-Filled Crepes with Berry Coulis
A crepe is one of those things that seems more intimidating and challenging than it actually is, but once attempted, is way easier than expected. We’ve made crepes many times before, and our mom made them many times before that, and every time they turn out nicely. They are a little tricky to flip if…
Ultimate Banana Bread
I (Leah) am obsessed with banana bread- I could eat it every day. Plain, with nuts, with chocolate chips- as long as it’s banana bread, I like it. Celine doesn’t always love banana bread because she doesn’t really like bananas, but even she loves this banana bread. It is the perfect basic banana bread because…
Gougeres
Gougeres are a delightful type of pastry from the Burgundy region of France. Every bite is cheesy, rich, and airy with a hint of crispness. People are sometimes afraid of Pate a Choux, which is the type of dough used in cream puffs/eclairs and is also the base here, for fear that it’s complex or…
