Morning Glory Muffins

Posted on January 5, 2025 by Emily Wasserman

The weather forecasters predicted up to 79 inches of snow in St. Louis this weekend, so Friday, I did what any normal person would do: I went to the grocery store five times, and I got the ingredients to make … Continue reading →

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Posted on November 3, 2024 by Emily Wasserman

Pumpkin and chocolate chip is one of the most iconic yet underrated combos in baking history. I was trying to think of a music analogy, and the closest thing I could think of are Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell duets. … Continue reading →

Pumpkin Spice Cake

Posted on October 6, 2024 by Emily Wasserman

This pumpkin spice cake was born from a recipe I got delivered to my inbox about a month ago. I am a huge fan (some might say, super fan) of Aran Goyoaga and her cookbooks. It’s only a slight exaggeration … Continue reading →

Gluten-Free Apple Crumble Muffins

Posted on September 22, 2024 by Emily Wasserman

Growing up, I hated apples with a fiery, burning passion. I think it’s because most of what I tasted was the Red Delicious variety, i.e., the most popular one at U.S. grocery stores (at least during my formative years). For … Continue reading →

Lemon Ricotta Cake

Posted on January 21, 2024 by Emily Wasserman

We’ve been having some *very* cold days in St. Louis. I’m a wimp when it comes to cold, so I complain any time it drops below 32 degrees. However, it has dropped below zero multiple times this month. When I … Continue reading →

Gingerbread Doughnuts

Posted on December 10, 2023 by Emily Wasserman

One of my favorite things to bake at home are doughnuts. “Bake?” you might say. Yes, doughnuts are traditionally fried, but if you like soft, pillowy doughnuts and don’t like cleaning up grease or oil splatters, baked doughnuts are a … Continue reading →

Cinnamon Rolls

Posted on January 1, 2023 by Emily Wasserman

This holiday season was pretty much hell for me. It started with me dropping my car at the shop after a tire exploding and my bumper falling off. Then, I started feeling an internal sick tsunami; i.e., the feeling that … Continue reading →

Blood Orange Dark Chocolate Chip Scones

Posted on January 25, 2022 by Emily Wasserman

These might be my favorite scones I’ve made recently, and I’ve made *a lot* of scones. They’re citrusy, sweet, chocolate-y, and delicious. Basically, they’re everything you need in a winter scone. I’m a big fan of blood oranges. However, I … Continue reading →

Go-To Granola

Posted on January 17, 2022 by Emily Wasserman

I’ll be honest with you: This granola basically came about by me dumping every half-open bag of nuts in my fridge into a large bowl. But even so, it created something magical, warming, and delicious. I like to improvise a … Continue reading →

Meyer Lemon Poppyseed Scones

Posted on January 4, 2022 by Emily Wasserman

These Meyer lemon poppyseed scones are like little rays of sunshine. I decided to make them this morning because I literally had nothing to eat for breakfast. I did have three Meyer lemons, half a container of buttermilk, flour, and … Continue reading →
