This sweet and spicy cornbread has a touch of honey and is infused with jalapeño butter, giving it just the right amount of spice. Mouth burning, eyes watering, nose running, cartoon steam coming out my ears isn’t my jam, so that’s what you’re looking for here, move along… this is not the cornbread you’re looking for.
Corn Cookies probably don’t sound all that appealing, and I’ll admit that when I first heard that Trader Joe’s created a Corn Cookie mix, I was skeptical. But when I played around with cornmeal in my cookie dough, the outcome was these ridiculously chewy, buttery, delicious cookies that land somewhere between sweet honey cornbread and a chewy sugar cookie. Make these. You’ll thank me later.
Let’s be honest, fruit salad is boring. Most of the time, it’s not even salad… it’s just chopped up fruit thrown in a bowl. So when my dad visited for Father’s Day a few years ago and said he was cutting back carbs and requested a fruit salad with his Father’s Day brunch, I wanted to find a way to zhuzh it up a little. What I came up with was this sweet, citrusy, minty dressing that took my fruit salad from a sad salad to an exciting side.
Much like a hot mugful of coffee gets me out of bed in the morning, a chilled glass of cold brew can keep me from crashing back into bed during that midday slump. The best part about this cold brew? You can literally make it in your sleep.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you can absolutely have apple pie for breakfast. My Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll is the love child of one of my favorite desserts and a favorite breakfast treat. It’s one part fluffy cinnamon roll, one part Dutch apple pie, and all mouthwateringly delicious.
Berry shortcake is the unsung hero of summer desserts. I know they sell pre-packaged sponges for this dessert, and maybe it’s because drop biscuits slathered in butter and honey were a dinner-time staple growing up, but I’ve always preferred a biscuit-based shortcake to the store-bought cakes. This recipe is the perfect biscuit for the dessert you’ll want to enjoy all berry season long.
I know that the phrase “white privilege” can be triggering for a lot of white folks, but we have to be better. That requires acknowledging and understanding our privilege. It requires setting aside egos and feelings. It requires listening and learning how to be an ally, not just doing what we think it means to be one. It requires unlearning. It requires hearing from the voices that are too often unheard. So instead of another white perspective on allyship, I want to give you a list of sources to help you understand what it means to be actively anti-racist.
We all have one thing in common: we all love carbs… we all love warm, cheesy carbs, and this easy cheesy biscuit recipe is exactly that: a peppery baking powder biscuit with melty cheese folded in its layers. Enter Cheddar Pepper Biscuits.
This cocktail gently whispers “summer” to me. It’s a little sweet, herbaceous, has a nice bite of ginger, and is gently bubbly. It’s the color of a summer dusk, and it’s so refreshing on a hot day.
These are without a doubt the BEST blueberry muffins. They’re easy to whip up, not too sweet, full of plump berries, and have a deliciously buttery, cinnamony crumble topping. They’re healthy (maybe?), so slather them with salted butter, pour a cup of coffee, and enjoy.
