BWJ – Best Ever Brownies

  Are these the best ever brownie? Well they’re really good brownies, a bit fussy but not difficult to make. However, maybe they are the best for some but not for me.  According to the boys, these are in the top 5 best brownies I’ve ever made so there is a chance they’ll be made…

BWJ – Buttermilk Crumb Muffins

  This makes a large batch of muffins and for some reason no one at home has been eating any baked goods unless it’s chocolate cake or apple crumble. I was therefore really glad for the excuse to bake the entire batch of these and also do a nice thing for someone at work. During the…

BWJ – Nectarine upside-down chiffon cake

  Best cake in a while, this was so good I am sure to repeat it if only just for the cake itself. I think I’d like to try banane next time with some coconut instead of almonds. Only oddity was the fact that the cake took quite a bit of time longer to cook…

BWJ – Popovers

so as you can see I got nice pouffy popovers, I have to immediately say I probably won’t make this again not the recipe itself which I am sure is really good just popovers in general. They taste good and all but, I am not excited by them. I’ll admit that when I tasted this…

BWJ – Blueberry Nectarine Pie

This BWJ Blueberry nectarine pie is probably my first non apple pie, not being a regular pie baker in the first place, this is not really all that surprising. I like apple everything, fall is the time to turn on your oven to bake any kind of pie (baking pie at 40 degrees is a little bit…

BWJ – Hazelnut biscotti

Once again here was a food I thought I didn’t like. Maybe because all I knew of biscotti were the coffee shop versions, hard as a rock and as flavorful as sawdust. Not that I’ve tried sawdust but neither have I tried cardboard or cement, anyway you get my opinion of biscotti and you might…

Bird food cookies

or granola cookies, or as they are originally called Cosmic cookies. You must have guessed these cookies contain tons and tons of mix ins, many of them seeds all of them yummy. Whenever I eat or make anything that has seeds in it, the boys call it bird food. So it’s no surprise these got rebaptised…

BWJ – Pecan Sticky Buns

Please no more butter, I love the stuff but somehow I feel like I’m in butter overload. I never thought I’d say that but give me a light mousse or a fruit salad for dessert. Well still, these Rolls were really good fresh out of the oven. Buttery and not overly sweet, I couldn’t help it,…

BWJ – Hungarian Shortbread

I feel like this post should come with a warning, flashing lights and orange cones, move along if you have no will or self-control in the face of buttery cookies. These are buttery in all the best ways, crumbly and sweet and so good that if you’re watching what you eat, you need to padlock the…

BWJ – Lemon Loaf Cake

Eating some now, hot out of the oven and with the added lemon glaze this lemon loaf is really quite good. I was over the moon about making this cake. Not because of the loaf, though with 4 eggs, lemon and butter it looked like a winner though maybe a little light on the lemon. No, what…
