This was one of my all-time favorite breakfasts my mom would make when I was a child. It only happened once a year or so, but that made it all the more special. So much so, that this was one of the first things I would make for my college roommates when we finally moved…

Sweet Orange Rolls
We made these rolls during our Outstanding Orange course. There is something so delightful about a sweet roll. The whole house smells amazing, they are so soft and sweet, and the it’s almost impossible to wait for them to come out of the oven. That being said, I don’t have time to wait hours for…
Fluffy Pancakes
I am a pancake fiend. I love pancakes. I love all pancakes. I love flat pancakes that you smear with butter and syrup and roll up like a burrito, I love dense pancakes filled with spelt and dried cherries, but most of all I love a giant stack of fluffy pancakes that tower above your…
Veggie Breakfast Tacos
These breakfast tacos are surprisingly delicious! The smoky seasoning on the black beans combined with the sweetness from the roasted sweet potatoes creates a flavor combination that I want to wake up to every day. Students as young as 5 can begin to scramble their own eggs. Class Tips to remember: Personally, breakfast tacos have…
Wonderful Waffles
A hazard of the job of a recipe developer and culinary class instructor is that I am always trying new recipes. I am on the hunt for ways to simplify recipes for students and also ways to broaden their horizons. I want to find food that is yummy and also some recipes that may challenge…
Mini Quiche Lorraine
Quiche Lorraine is loved by my father. I never understood it until I made my own version. The creamy custard was wholly different from the tasteless, eggy things I had experienced thawed from the freezer at various gatherings over the years. Quiche had always been “fine”, but nothing to rave about. Then I made my…
Blueberry Muffins
We don’t often have these delicious bakery style blueberry muffins, but when we do, they are such a treat. They are exactly what I imagine a blueberry muffin should be, plus they don’t have any additional ingredients found in packaged muffin snacks. If your little one is used to smaller muffins, try these in a…
Ham & Cheddar Scones
All over the country, we are having snow and cold in unexpected places. These ham and cheddar scones are the perfect antidote to this polar vortex. Not only does morning baking warm up my kitchen, but it draws my grumpy, cold kids out of bed with a smile on because they smell something yummy happening…
Easy Strawberry Shortcakes
This shortcake recipe takes my super easy 2-ingredient biscuit and adds a little sugar and lemon zest to perk them up. We macerate the strawberries to pull out their juice and make the whole mess syrupy. Let that sit and get juicy while you bake up some fluffy, crispy biscuits, and then get ready for…
Mini Carrot Cake Muffins
Carrot cake is my favorite cake. There. I said it. My mom makes this incredible carrot cake that she is famous for. Everyone asks for it for their birthday. I won’t tell her secret (yet), but just know it’s the most tender, moist, sweet thing you’ve ever eaten. She often used to come visit me…
Mini Plum Galettes with Vanilla Ice Cream
These little galettes are so easy for kids to make and they get to have fun folding their galette dough in their very own way. We made these plum galettes in our Purple foods course. The plums get syrupy and sweet. These are delectable warm with a little vanilla ice cream. The tricky part of…
Mini Blackberry Scones
These mini scones are the perfect little baking project to make with the kids out of school this week. They are no more difficult than biscuits, but they seem festive and fancy. I love using frozen blackberries for these, as they are much cheaper and the flavor is great. Mini Blackberry Scones Ingredients 3 Tablespoons…
