Last week we were running our normal errands. We made a quick stop to the 99cent store where I scored 10 gorgeous mum plants. I absolutely love the 99cent store…you never know what gem you will find. I really don’t understand people who put their nose up to that store. I think it is awesome!…

Blood Orange and Pomegranate Pound Cake
So this whole gluten free thing has been going really well. I haven’t figured out if it is all in my head or is actually related to the new diet, but I have had so much more energy lately. Not only that, my daughter who is consistently complaining of a headache and stomach ache has not…
Vanilla Scones and Giveaway #9
Happy last day of the year!!!! I am so excited for this year to be over and to see what the new year brings us. We have a lot of changes coming, including going gluten free. Now I will still be making yummy desserts, but will now being offering a GF alternative to regular flour…
Liege Waffles and Giveaway #6
While my husband and I were dating, we decided to take a train trip to Paris. I picked up some of these Liege Waffles before the trip, thinking they were just typical waffles. Oh. Was I wrong. If you have never had a Liege Waffle you are not living. There is no need for syrup…
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting
I know that it is technically not fall yet, but I don’t care! I want pumpkin and apple everything right now! Do you remember a couple of years ago when it was impossible to find a can of pumpkin puree (there was a legitimate shortage)? I am pretty sure that it was due to the…
Frozen Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
This year will be the first year that I have 2 children in school. If that is not stressful enough, they will be at two different schools, starting and ending at two different times. In an effort to make the first few weeks go smoothly, I took a morning to prepare easy hearty breakfasts that…
Double Decker Peach Yogurt Coffee Cake
I love coffee cake, but normally I just eat the topping because the cake part is usually too dry. This cake, however, was moist from top to bottom. The trick? Greek yogurt. I love the stuff! Not only do I eat it every afternoon for lunch but I absolutely love baking with it. I use…
Ginger Carrot Muffins with Dulce de Leche
As you may know from my last post, I tend to over buy fresh veggies and herbs. I am constantly throwing out bunches of cilantro, killing every basil plant I get my hands on, and trying to use shriveled up ginger roots. Well no more I say! I have recently discovered Dorot’s frozen garlic and…
Beer Crêpes with Mascarpone and Cherry Compote
These delicious Beer Crepes are thin, light, and absolutely perfect. Combined with mascarpone and cherry compote, you’ll be dreaming of France! The other day, I had an impromptu visit from my friend. It is always these visits that turn out to be the most fun. On this particular day, it resulted in Beer Crepes! She…
Blackberry and Lime Curd Trifle
I love blogging. I love baking and photographing, connecting with my followers and meeting new people. What I don’t love about blogging: researching new recipes and falling onto a recipe that I cannot get out of my head. A recipe that literally make me drool. A recipe that my taste buds will not be happy…
Lime Coconut Pound Cake
Yesterday I returned home from a fabulous weekend in Austin, TX. It was my first time in Texas, and boy did we live it up! I am pretty sure we tried every type of food and every local brew. I am still in such a food comma, so this post will be short! After having…
Buttermilk Walnut Bread with Browned Butter Glaze
Happy Walnut Day! According to Dr. Micheal Roizen, a New York Times best selling author, “Walnuts provide numerous antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, protein and are the only nut offering a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids.” So what does The Seaside Baker do with these incredibly nutritious nuts? She piles them into a luscious bread with…
Pumpkin Spice Granola
After countless malasadas from the famous Leonard’s Bakery in Hawaii, (photo source here because my brilliant husband erased mine!) and ridiculously sweet, but delicious doughnuts from Voodoo Donuts in Portland, result in my utter need to go on a diet. All of this combined with this weekend in Sin City where I can guarantee that…
