Hello friends, long time no content! I'm still not devoting much energy to the grid but with it being National Chocolate Chip Cookie day, how could I resist? ๐ I also went slightly to the left by making Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, my favorite recipe from @therosewifebakes ๐ค
I hope you're all doing well! Anyone else enjoying cookies today? ๐ช๐ฅ

Chocolate-Peppermint Bark Cookies because chocolate + mint is the best flavor combo ๐๐ผ ๐ซ๐ฑ
The recipe comes from @thebakefeed newest magazine and IT'S A HUGE HIT! I baked a batch for Thanksgiving and friends & family all raved over how delicious they were (one of my favorite things to hear ๐โบ๏ธ).
I attribute it in part to the fantastic recipe, the top notch products I like to use (@kerrygoldusa butter, chopped @ghirardelli chocolate bar, @costco peppermint bark, @bobsredmill flour, measured on a @lifemeasuredbytaylor scale and baked on my @usa_pan ) and finally to the cookie making skills I learned from @displacedhousewife ๐ค
You have to get your hands on this issue, there's a few other recipes from it that I want to try, too!

Surprise Rainbow Bundt Cake from @buttermilkbysam for this #nationalbundtday ๐
This is a fairly involved cake, though straight forward, and produces the most remarkable and impressive results! ๐ Beautifully unassuming and then โจBAMโจ the sweetest rainbow treasure inside! Loaded with vanilla inside (vanilla bean paste and imitation vanilla for mine) and a beautiful Meyer Lemon Blueberry Glaze of my own design outside, this was such a delicious combination!
I particularly loved the how each slice of rainbow cake was slightly different, and I loved how it performed in my 75th Anniversary @nordicwareusa Bundt! I've always thought each section looked like rainbows anyways ๐ฅฐ
Find Sam's thorough instructions on her website and impress your friends and family!

These Cheddar-Scallion Biscuits from @foodandwine were absolutely amazing! ๐โจ๐ (Recipe: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/cheddar-scallion-biscuits )
You know I love a recipe that calls for buttermilk so when I found this one I knew I had to make it! The layers in the biscuit are created by folding and flattening the dough several times, a process that might sound time consuming or tedious but it's so worth it.
The cute skirts of cheese are created by making little piles of @tillamook cheddar on the baking sheet, gently setting the laminated biscuit dough on top, then baking! And you cannot forget the flaky salt โจ
I was so impressed with the results, and the biscuits were SO delicious, that I barely had any time to film them before they were devoured ๐
Do you like biscuits with extra ingredients mixed in or do you prefer a simple biscuit?

I made Smash Burgers for the first time last night and it was delightful ๐๐
Followed @ourbestbites quick & easy recipe for the burgers AND burger sauce and it was a big hit! (https://ourbestbites.com/smash-burgers/)
The sound of meat sizzling on the grill/smoker outside is so relaxing for me! I love cooking outdoors so this sound is one of my top 10, tell me one of yours! I also love the sound of deep snow crunching in the winter โ๏ธ

Just wanted to show you that
1) you shouldn't believe everything you see on Instagram,
2) you don't need a ton of fancy things to take images/videos that do well [my @nikonusa D5000 was manufactured in 2009 and it's my main squeeze]
and 3) perspective is everything โค๏ธ
I'm sorry I've been slow to respond to comments on here; I'm more active in stories and messages these days because it's a little quicker and less formal. Life is getting wild and I'm about to become more busy, not less busy with the kids attending school!
โจPS the recipe comes from @displacedhousewife
and her book The Cake Book; no I don't have a recipe to give you I can only point you towards her amazing book and recommend that you buy it ๐
Pretty pink board is Rose Marble from @replicasurfaces

Quick and informal video of my spinach & mushroom scramble this morning! The secret ingredient is the Buttermilk โจ๐
I used to use homemade Crรจme Fraรฎche (uses buttermilk & heavy cream) because it adds a luxurious silkiness to the eggs, but recently I've been just adding about a tablespoon of @umpquadairy buttermilk with two eggs and shaking them up like my shaken iced coffee! It aerates the eggs and makes them fluffy without having to whisk them ๐
I always sautรฉ the veggies first (this was one large handful of spinach and one large, sliced mushroom) with a little bit of butter/ghee then push them to the side, add a little bit more butter or ghee and pour in the eggs ๐ณ
PS I usually use a wider spatula than this because it creates a more cohesive scramble, but of course I used a small one today ๐
It doesn't take as long as you might think, especially when you get some practice ๐ Are we all still into breakfast content? I'm making more of that than anything else these days ๐

I still think about these Double Chocolate Chip Muffins from @smittenkitchen ๐๐ค because chocolate makes anything better. I'll link her recipe in my profile if you're interested!
I made these in May with @lifewaykefir @rodellevanilla Baking Cocoa, and @ghirardelli dark chocolate chips, and I haven't stopped thinking about them! They might show up again soon because I need some chocolate today ๐ฅฐ
Do you muffin much? I actually don't make muffins very often but I love thinking about new varieties and flavor combos ๐ค

These Brown Butter Peach Scones with Brown Butter Glaze were a perfect way to enjoy my local Donut Peaches! The recipe is from my dear friend Anita @wild.thistle.kitchen who writes charming recipes that warm your soul ๐ฅฐ (you can find the recipe on her website, I'll link it in my stories today and in my profile!) She's known for her delicious, simple scones and a special technique to make them extra flaky!
Hot tip! To make the pretty drizzle lines atop baked goods, use a whisk with your glaze! It makes a variety of asymmetrical lines and puddles which I find lovely and rustic ๐ค
I made my brown butter a few days before I was ready to create the scones, which worked great. The dark bits within the scones are actually chunks of brown butter, which is my favorite bite! ๐
You may notice that the peaches adorning the scene aren't the Donut Peaches I used within the scones, and you'd be right! I used all four of my local Yakima Donut Peaches (from @amador_farms !) because they were sweet but less juicy than my free stone peaches and I didn't want a sticky batter ๐
Are you tired of peach recipes yet?! I hope not because I still have peaches that need used! I think I'll be making a special one for brinner (breakfast for dinner) tonight! ๐๐ฅ

Butter: salted sweet cream from @costco because I'm on a budget and baking is getting expensive ๐ง
Dreamy Summer Peach Buckle using the recipe from @redtruckbakery ๐๐โจ
I'm absolutely smitten with the Wild Raspberry Buckle recipe in the Red Truck Bakery cookbook, it creates a dreamy, soft cake bursting with a delicious fresh flavors! If you haven't heard of a buckle before, imagine a cross between a tender coffee cake base and a sticky-sweet cobbler! If that isn't enough to entice you to try it then maybe the soft texture will ๐
Brian suggested to use fresh peaches or other seasonal crops as a topping and I love it with peaches! Mine were incredibly ripe & juicy so I drained them in a sieve while I prepped the cake itself and they were still juicy (requiring some extra bake time under a foil tent) but it was worth it!
I still had some leftover Peach Bourbon Vanilla Bean Ice Cream so naturally I enjoyed them together for heavenly peach goodness ๐๐โจ
Would you try a slice? What flavor would you choose?

Honestly the only things I'm working on right now are meals for the family and playing outside for our week of PNW sunshine! โ๏ธ
Breakfast this morning was
๐ฅperfectly crispy diner hash browns using @idaho.spuds, @johnnysfinefoods Seasoning salt, and @bragg Nutritional Yeast
๐ณOver-medium eggs with my fave @wilcoxfarms brown eggs
โAnd I'm working on my barista skills with our @calphalon espresso machine! We use @mayorgaorganics roasted Mocha Java medium roast (found at @Costco online, actually every food on the table is from Costco ๐) with a blend of steamed milk and @darigoldnw half & half! I have much to improve but we love the flavor, ๐ฒsavings, and controlled sugar โ
