What We’re Eating This Thanksgiving, 2022

Hello friends! Happy Thanksgiving! I hope this finds you well wrapped and cozied up against the strangely cold November weather. Fiancé & I have largely been holed up in our kitchen – aka: the one room of our house that actually seems to hold warmth

Hi friends! How are you this fine Saturday? Ideally this post finds you taking it easy, coffee in hand, and with an upcoming birthday bake that needs planning. The first two are out of my control, but I can definitely help you with the latter!

Happy Wednesday, friends! I hope this post finds you wearing a comfy jumper with your hair piled up in a messy bun, and a coffee cup in hand. But maybe that’s just me. I’m popping in quickly to share: What We’re Eating This Thanksgiving. Boyfriend

Sweet, sweet friends, hi! I’ve got such a treat for you today: Perfect All-Butter Pie Dough. For years I’ve been scouring both the internet and cookbooks for the perfect pie dough recipe. A few years ago, I found Yossi Arefi‘s recipe and I – mistakenly

Friends, hello. How are you? I hope this post finds you well wrapped up against the autumnal winds. There is a near constant haze of drizzle outside our windows lately, and I’ve been battling it the best way I know how: baking. Breads, cheesecakes, ice-creams,

Hi friends! I hope today’s post finds you cozy & warm – it’s bloody freezing out there! I don’t know about where you are, but here in Dublin it feels like it could start snowing at any second. There’s frost on the grass in the

Do you remember way back in November’s Monthly Musings post when I told you I was “low-key obsessed” with a new cookbook, Sister Pie? That was a lie. I was – and still am – much more obsessed than what could ever be described as “low-key”.

Friends, hello! I’m sharing a cake today that is very close to my heart: Pear Spice Cake with Brown Butter Frosting & Dark Chocolate Drip. Every year, right around the beginning of Autumn, I make this Pear Spice Cake. It’s a welcoming ritual of sorts,

I know what you’re thinking: more pie? Can’t she even go four posts before blogging about pie again?  Well, it would seem that I can’t. Having said that, this isn’t just any pie – this is a cider caramel apple pie from Erin’s fabulous book ‘The

Welcome to part two of the apple fest! Part one saw us making some Apple Spiced Doughnuts, and this time I bring you cake! Glorious Rustic Apple Cake. It originally started as ‘Cinnamon Apple Cake with Browned Butter Frosting’, but thankfully I realised I needed a

Well, I warned you in my last post, but I have a hell of a lot of apple bakes coming your way. First up: Spiced Apple Doughnuts. I really tried to stay away from my usual apple bakes, because there’s already a lot of apple

Here’s a secret that I probably shouldn’t tell: I made this Pecan Pie all the way back in April. The April that was six months ago. When the sun was starting to shine & make everything a bit warmer, I began dreaming about Autumn. Cozy

Hi friends! How are you this fine Sunday? I took some time out over the last week to remake and whip into shape a comforting old favourite: Classic Apple Pie. Because really, shouldn’t we be able to make pie all year long? It had been

Have you ever heard of Bloomsday? If you don’t live in Ireland, the chances are slim. Every year on June 16th, people dress up to relive the events that occur in James Joyce’s novel, Ulysses. I work in one of the coastal towns mentioned in
