A Polish Girl In An American Kitchen
This is by far my favorite bundt cake, and definitely a main go-to for having with coffee or breakfast. The original recipe is from “Kuchnia Polska” and demands the use of almonds. I think they are optional, but they definitely elevate the cake if you …
I really love cold dessert soups. They’re great as an appetizer, dessert, or even for breakfast. And they tend to be very easy to make. I found this particular soup idea on instagram. The sage is a really interesting touch, especially with the ginger. Fresh …
I got this idea from my favorite brunch place, and then tried it with my own pumpkin bread. Low and behold it came out awesome! I love using the creme anglaise instead of a traditional maple syrup. It goes very well with the already sweet …
