Cinnamon Stick and Orange Infused Cold-Brewed Coffee

Honestly, the fact that I ate 3 Reese’s pumpkins in a row today make me so glad that I drink my coffee black. Occasionally I get a splash of coconut milk in it, but generally order coffee with additional coffee in it. Kinda every morning. So just know that this coffee is a way to enjoy black coffee with some added flava. Because you see, when I was in Nashville a few months ago I got a…

Orange, Cardamom, Vanilla Swirl Bread

My flat smells like toast, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I go to bed at night dreaming of popping this swirly twirly dream in the toaster. I savor the hell out of every bite. It’s basically the toast version of these Orange Rolls, so I’m kinda obsessed. And I’m pretty excited about the fact that I have an entire spare loaf in my freezer! Toast forever! Also, do me a favor and don’t…

Lemony Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies

I ate one of these cookies before dinner yesterday. It was a cookie appetizer, and it was necessary. Then I made a salad for dinner, ate a truffle santa, and listened to Mariah Carey Fantasy the remix. Just an average night, really. But these cookies are the opposite of average. They are super lemony refreshing! One glance at their casual outfits, you wouldn’t suspect the tasty citrus flavor punch sandwiched in each bite. (Are you…

Single Lady Plum Crumble

Sometimes Jake works at night. Then I have to make dinner for one, and well, sometimes I’m super lazy about it. Last night I made breakfast for dinner. Scrambled eggs with avocado and goat cheese? Sure! Mini toasts with parmesan cheese? Ok! But mostly, I wanted dessert. Single lady dessert to go with my single lady dinner. I had just one plum left. One plum, some sugar, and a dream. So here you go! In case…

Cardamom Orange Palmiers

These cookies are a breeze, and they look like a swirly-twirly “B”. I brought these into work and some people said they tasted like elephant ears (the tasty carni’ food). And others said they tasted like Trix cereal. Don’t bother telling that rabbit. I don’t want to be hassled my whole life. Either way, I want to snack on them for life. Cardamom and orange are best friends. These cookies just further prove it! You…

Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread + Orange Glaze

This pull-apart bread is a really good idea. It’s like the sister to cinnamon rolls and monkey bread and those two are my favorite. I made it into two mini loaves. Mini things make pretty fun gifts. Now I just need polka dotted plastic wrap in my life. It’d be the best packaging for this sort of dude. This really is best right out of the oven, but I wouldn’t turn it down if it…

Cardamom Sour Cream Waffles

I know. These just look like brown waffles. Don’t be fooled by their snooze-fest outfits, they are: flavorful, crispy-edged, spiced, brown waffles. Cardamom is such a unique spice. It’s warm and almost citrus-y? I don’t know how to explain it, but let me tell you, it’s tasty. Honesty, I’d like to make these again and sandwich cinnamon ice cream in the middle of one, and eat one like a burrito. That’s just me, though. Cardamom…
