Recipe: Gluten-Free Blueberry Coffeecake
So, it’s breakfast time again. You’re tired of cereal, the yogurt has expired, the waffle iron needs the old grease scraped out of its crannies from the last time you used it, and your children utter staggering groans when you suggest scrambled eggs.
Where’s the inspiration? Wanna turn those kiddo groans into a chorus of cheers?
Groping for the oatmeal box, your hand stumbles upon the King Arthur Flour gluten-free muffin mix you had stashed toward the back of the cabinet.
Muffins? Sure, why not? Or, better yet, how about coffeecake – one layered with streusel and berries?

Recipe: Lemon Streusel Coffeecake

Just look at this coffeecake, would you?
It’s delightfully moist, its texture a perfect balance between heavy and light: substantial, yet not unpleasantly dense.
Its cinnamon-streusel topping is the perfect crunchy counterpoint to the thin layer of soft cranberry sauce just beneath the crust, and to the cake itself.
Looking to add fiber to your diet? This cake’s 100% whole wheat. And boy, does it taste good…
But looks? Well, if looks were everything, this coffeecake would be less than nothing.
It’s just so… beige.

…except you, of course. Trying to figure out Christmas morning breakfast. read the rest of this entry »

Recipe: None
What’s the ONE thing you simply have to bake for Thanksgiving every year?
You know, your signature dish; the pumpkin pie, or cranberry bread, or even the stuffing that everyone demands of you. You might get tired of making it – but show up at your brother-in-law’s without it, and I tell you, Mr. Man, you’re in deep… trouble. read the rest of this entry »

Recipe: Chocolate-Cherry Brioche
Brioche.
If you have any experience at all with brioche, merely seeing the word probably sends a shiver down your spine.
A shiver of anticipation for the ultra-tender, super-buttery bread that emerges from your oven.
And a matching shiver of angst at the difficult dough that precedes that loaf. read the rest of this entry »
