Bread baking is healthy. I actually had a not-so-great work week. OK, it was more than not great. But then I baked some bread (more of my slightly sweet no-knead, bake in a cast-iron–pot “breakfast bread”) and I instantly felt better. It’s the little things.

Happy New Year 2020! Many cultures have a celebratory dish or bread or …. something that they use to ring in the New Year. This year, I decided to do a variation on the New Year’s Bread. In the past, I’ve done a giant New Year’s Pretzel … this year it is New Year’s Star. It’s like a giant cinnamon roll actually. Either which way, it is a lovely item for breakfast in the morning. I hope that your 2020 starts off well. Enjoy!
Good morning. Just the CSPS Girl jumping in here with a little coffee cake recipe, in case you are looking for a quick baked-good that you can make the day before. Can be served at room temperature or warmed a bit, for breakfast or for afternoon tea, this Cranberry Orange Coffee Cake with Pecan Streusel is delicious. Don’t have fresh berries? Frozen will do just great in this recipe (keep the berries frozen when you put into the batter) and you can even swap out the cranberries for blueberries or raspberries. Enjoy!
Last of the summer fruit, so I thought I would make a final round of jam, this time Peach with Ginger. Turned out great, even though the peaches were still a little hard but the final result is great. It even set well (I think peaches have a fair bit of natural pectin and I used the low-sugar sort just to make sure).
Headed out on a road trip tomorrow, so I am prepping a few things to take with us that are easy to store, easy to eat. That includes these Black Currant Almond Streusel Bars. As with all of my crumble and struesel bars, these are super-easy to make, really versatile to swap out flavors and pack up really nicely. Also perfect to take along as a picnic or biergarten snack or dessert.
