Hi Reader!
Ten one-bowl bakes that go from a quick mix in the kitchen to satisfaction in no time...my favorite way to bake! Scroll down to see all of them!
I made Lemon Blueberry Scones this past weekend, for Easter, and I can confirm they are fabulous! I didn't have any buttermilk and so I squeezed 2 tbsp (26 g) fresh lemon juice into a liquid measuring cup and then added 2% milk to 3/4 cup (180 g) total (milk + lemon juice) and it gave them even more lemon flavor! I highly recommend. π
Just finished rewatching Succession (LOVE), and loving The Pitt & Rooster (HBO Max). Loving thisnightgown (I sleep hot), robe and slippers. Starting to get strawberries in the garden (!!!) and I have my dear friend Kim coming today to spend the remainder of the week wine tasting, relaxing, cookie eating and tv binging! I can't wait.
My current freezer stash (for her visit) are the above mentioned blueberry scones, dirty chai snickerdoodles and a cookie that's coming to you this weekend (it's a good one!).
Wishing I would have made this strawberry quick jam to go with the scones...but such is life...
πππππ "Oh my word!!! These are an instant classic!! My house smells amazing and my mouth is doing a happy dance with all the spices! I didnβt have Demerara sugar but did turbinado and it worked out just fine! Just when I think I couldnβt have another favorite cookie-you hit me with a one-two punch! ( in a good way!) finishing baking these off and once theyβre cooled-photos for insta!"
πππππ "Rebecca! Just when I think I canβt love a cookie more than the one before you come up with another ridiculously, delicious CCC. Holy Cannoli are these fabulous! Another new favorite"
πππππ "Just finished making these muffins. They turned out perfectly and so very delicious. We had a warm one right out of the oven. The chocolate mini pieces were a bit gooey, and the texture was perfect. The cinnamon and nutmeg topping with more mini chips was the βIcing on the cakeβ! Thanks for another great recipe, Rebecca."

πππππ "This recipe is amazing!!! Iβve made it twice now and the first time I served at my small group meeting from church. Everyone wanted the recipe. I was disappointed that it was so good, there everyone wanted seconds and there was none leftover. I had to make again and it was even better and we didnβt have to share! Super-moist and chocolatey!"

Hi Reader! Hello, beautiful! This week I want to share a recipe that I'm always excited to bake: my favorite Lemon Raspberry Loaf.

Here's what I love about this cake: it's elegant enough to bring to a brunch but easy enough to make on a Tuesday night when you just need something beautiful in your life. No...
