Bailey’s Irish Cream Toffee Bit Brownies

Bailey’s Irish Cream Toffee Bit Brownies! Just think how amazing these would be in a brownie sundae with a big scoop of vanilla (or coffee!) ice cream.

Rosemary Olive Boule, with Sundried Tomatoes

Here is another variation on my “no knead, bake in a Dutch oven” bread. This time, I decided to make a Rosemary (from my own garden) Olive and Sundried Tomato variation.

It arrived late last week and the very first thing I thought was what to make — and came up with this recipe for a Hazelnut Chocolate Red Currant Bundt. It was a riff on my standard pound cake recipe, so I wasn’t sure that it would come out as planned, but it’s delicious. And it photographs well in the lovely pan.
