Small Batch Maple Walnut Scones for Two

April 27, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Small Batch Maple Walnut Scones for Two are perfect when you want to surprise your sweetie with a special treat, but the recipe is easy to double if you’re feeding more people or want a couple extra on hand. These scones are tender inside with a beautifully golden crust outside, and a slight maple-y aroma and nutty flavor from walnuts.

Have you ever had afternoon tea at a hotel or teahouse? It’s such a deliciously fun experience, with a variety of finger sandwiches, bite-sized pastries, and scones served with butter, clotted cream, jam, and curd. It’s always elegant and fun, but I also enjoy serving scones as part of weekend brunch at home just as much!…

Spiced Maple Pecan Muesli Granola

April 2, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Spiced Maple Pecan Muesli Granola is a delicious cross between muesli and granola; it’s richly spiced and aromatic with maple and makes a beautiful breakfast on a busy morning. I’m not really a big cereal eater; actually, even as a kid cereal wasn’t really my thing. There were a couple flavors I liked, but they were older people-type cereals, like Shredded Wheat and Grape Nuts, rather than the sugary kinds most lids preferred (but I did have a soft spot for Cinnamon Toast Crunch!). I was always a bit odd, lol....

Maple Pecan Lactation Cookies Recipe (Gluten Free)

February 19, 2018 by Faith 2 Comments

This gluten free Maple Pecan Lactation Cookies Recipe is rich in galactogogues, which are thought to contain milk supply-boosting nutrients in lactating women. They’re subtly sweet and nutty with the flavors of coconut, maple, and pecan! When a dear friend and quite possibly the kindest person you know has her first baby (a sweet little girl), you do the only thing you can when you live 12 hours away: make cookies and mail them to her!...

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch

January 1, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch are soft and chewy with flavor notes of nuts, caramel, and maple. On the first day of the New Year it’s probably more customary to share a healthy new year’s resolution type of recipe. I’m breaking all the rules with these whoopie pies! But they might just be so wrong they’re right....

Paleo Eggnog Cupcakes with Maple Buttercream

December 23, 2016 by Faith 3 Comments

Paleo Eggnog Cupcakes with Maple Buttercream feature fluffy cake and creamy frosting, and are sure to please paleo and non-paleo eaters! Eggnog is one of those things that plays more of a nostalgic role for me than anything else. I love the idea of eggnog (because it always evokes happy holiday memories), but when it comes to actually downing a cup of it (even a small cup), I don’t quite love it so much. Even the best commercially-made brands of eggnog are always a little too rich and a lot too sweet for my taste, and I’ll be honest, making homemade eggnog just isn’t high […]...

April 22, 2016 by Faith 6 Comments

Sunday Morning Scones {aka Maple Bacon Scones with Coffee Glaze} a great balance between sweet and salty, and absolutely perfect for any morning that you have 15 minutes to pop them in the oven! Since January, I have been holding out on you guys something fierce! My secrecy involves carbs, in the form of these insanely tasty scones, and if you’ve had brunch, made scones or biscuits, or even just wanted something a little out of the ordinary for breakfast since then, I give you full permission to be mad at me. But don’t be too mad…after all, I come bearing scones....

Spring Mix and Roasted Green Bean Salad with Creamy Maple-Miso Dressing

March 4, 2016 by Faith 13 Comments

Spring Mix and Roasted Green Bean Salad with Creamy Maple-Miso Dressing is packed with flavor and nutrition for a delicious lunch or side salad. When Mike and I have houseguests, there are two things I try to do when meal planning. The first is ask about their favorite foods or flavors and integrate them into the meals I make. And the second is share my salad-a-day habit with them by making a gorgeous gigantic salad for lunches. The trick is to make salad so interesting that no one can resist it....

Detox Roasted Delicata Squash, Pardina Lentil, and Kale Salad with Maple-Pear Balsamic Vinaigrette {Vegan}

January 1, 2016 by Faith 9 Comments

My vegan Detox Roasted Delicata Squash, Pardina Lentil, and Kale Salad with Maple-Pear Balsamic Vinaigrette is as delicious as it is healthy! Happy New Year, dear Readers! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and took the opportunity to nourish your body and also indulge when you wanted to (life is too short not to enjoy it, am I right?). I’m guessing you’re probably all sugared out and perhaps a bit tired of eating such rich foods…and hopefully ready for some veggie-laden lighter dishes! Let’s start with this salad, which is a full meal in itself....

Maple Pecan Potato Chip Shortbread Cookies

December 2, 2015 by Faith 9 Comments

These Maple Pecan Potato Chip Shortbread Cookies feature a deliciously balanced salty/sweet flavor profile and are easy to make! They’re a fun addition to a festive holiday cookie tray. I think food-related gifts are the best gifts, whether its a celebratory meal youre sharing or a plate of homemade treats. Or better yet, a tried and true family recipe. One of the biggest perks of being a food blogger is that when people hear what I do for a living, their eyes light up and their ears perk up, and they immediately ask me if I have a great recipe for such-and-such, or if Ive ever tried […]...

Fluffy Seltzer Water Pancakes with Quick Spiced Maple-Pear Compote

November 23, 2015 by Faith 10 Comments

This recipe for Fluffy Seltzer Water Pancakes with Quick Spiced Maple-Pear Compote makes a lovely festive brunch that comes together in less than 30 minutes. In my family, Thanksgiving Day eats are special from the very beginning. Dinner is served around 5 or 6pm, so we usually sit down to brunch mid-morning. Brunch is special, but always quick to make because of course dinner is the main event....
