No matter what I do, I just can't stay away from the goat cheese for long. It has a creaminess that works so well in baked goods, and I find it always offers this slight tanginess that balances sweet so well. It has worked beautifully in ice cream, cheesecake, and even frosting, but would it work in cookies? I gave my classic thumbprints a goat cheese makeover, and the result was divine! I mentioned last week that Buttercream Blondie is moving and getting a makeover, and I'm very happy to tell you that we're in the final stretch! It's ...
Irish Coffee Scones with Whiskey Butter
Let's talk about scones today guys. In the past I haven't been very enthusiastic about scones. I've had some that were good, but they've always been a take it or leave it kind of thing for me. Normally I would look right past a scone and go for some cake, but that all changed last weekend when I made these little gems. I have made five batches since then, I think that says something! I've been on a bit of a Baileys kick lately, and I thought it would be pretty cool if I could put Baileys in a scone. Once this seed was planted in my head, ...

Meyer Lemon Chiffon Cake
I can't get enough of meyer lemons right now. They have such a beautiful color, pack a ton of flavor, and add so much brightness to desserts. To me they're like a little burst of sunshine in winter. I picked up a few pounds of them this week, and the first thing I did was make a big batch of meyer lemon curd. I've made many different desserts using meyer lemons, but for some reason it always go back to curd. I love the silky texture of it, and how it really showcases the flavor of the meyer lemons. I wanted to use the lemon curd in a ...
