Trick out your cookie tray (or hypnotize Batman) with these red and white pinwheels
There are a thousand iterations of the holiday pinwheel. I prefer the two-color variety. I love the look of them, like they could maybe hypnotize Batman.
Recipes
Bake the biggest white cheddar, sausage breakfast focaccia
Mine is no artisanal Fire Island focaccia, but when I sent a few friends pictures of it after I pulled it out of the oven the last time I made it, they found reasons to drop by. So I figure that’s enough.
These pumpkin brioche rolls with coffee frosting are a worthy project
These babies feature a soft pumpkin brioche dough, pumpkin-y cinnamon filling and a maple frosting you tart up with some coffee powder.
Lean into autumn with spiced apple crisp granola — then invent your own recipe
This particular version is inspired by apple crisp with dried apples and cranberries, but please, once you get the hang of it, riff hard.
Alaska-est Baked Alaska (with help from Wild Scoops)
I am a firm believer that as Alaskans we should own this recipe.
Got Alaska berries? Make a fresh berry pie with salty crust and maple cream
The basics: a pre-baked salty butter crust, fresh berries tossed with a sweet gel, topped with maple-cointreau whipped cream.
These cilantro-lime noodles will make your mouth tingle
This is an easy weeknight side or main dish that you can throw together lickity-split with a make-ahead sauce.
Be a green queen with this goddess salad with crispy okra
This salad makes a beautiful light dinner for company (hint: an excuse to make a rich dessert!).
Thai tea with boba will delight you in the afternoon
It’s a perfect drink for pushing through a grueling work afternoon. I keep boba around for a special treat and eventually even found some wide bubble tea straws so I can get the full bubble tea experience at home.
Potato-chip salmon is a great idea.(Duh.)
A fillet slathered in mayo and covered in potato chips? If that’s wrong, I don’t want to be right.
