Small Batch Maple Walnut Scones for Two

April 27, 2018 by Faith Leave a 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!…

Chai-Spiced Brown Butter Pumpkin Walnut Loaf Cake

November 20, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Richly-spiced and aromatic, this dense, moist Chai-Spiced Brown Butter Pumpkin Walnut Loaf Cake is an easy baking project…and it would be lovely for Thanksgiving morning! If you’re looking for inspiration for your Thanksgiving morning, look no further. I have a festive treat that’s not too over-the-top festive…it contains pumpkin, but it will in no way steal the thunder of the pumpkin pie that you serve for dessert later!...

Roasted Winter Squash Salad with Spiced Walnuts, Red Currants, and Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette

November 17, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Roasted Winter Squash Salad with Spiced Walnuts, Red Currants, and Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette is a beautiful way to highlight the earthy, sweet, and subtly nutty flavor of roasted squash. Last but certainly not least when it comes to my holiday meal for four is this salad recipe I’m sharing. It’s quite a simple salad, but there’s something about winter squash in general and delicata squash in particular that always wins my vote....

Date and Walnut Paleo Crispbread and 3 Brie Topping Ideas

July 3, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Date and Walnut Paleo Crispbread is a fantastic base for crafting flavor profiles with Marin French Cheese and unique homemade toppings. There are certain times in our lives when we don’t realize it in the moment, but later we understand how significant it was. We always know when we’re having a first time experience, but if we knew the last time was actually the last time for a lot of things, I wonder how much different would it be....

Blue Cheese, Chicken, and Cauliflower Skillet with Bacon, Walnut, and Date Topping

April 6, 2015 by Faith 10 Comments

I go through phases when I just don’t feel like cooking. At all. Sometimes, if I’m really burned out, the better part of a week will go by before I feel inspired to cook. That’s when Mike gets to do one of his favorite things: live off the food from the Pakistani restaurant a block from where we live. It’s a windfall for him and a win for me too since I get a much-needed break and time to recharge....

Chicken Salad Bowl with Avocado, Strawberry, and Walnut {Paleo}

May 20, 2014 by Faith 14 Comments

I have a weird method of cooking for Mike and I. One thing I adore about him is how even though he is a crazy-picky eater, if it’s a dish he likes, he doesn’t mind eating it for leftovers…for a week straight. Yup, I’m a lucky girl....

Homemade Apple-Walnut Turkish Delight

December 19, 2011 by Faith 27 Comments

Ever notice how certain movies (even non-foodie movies) are incredibly good at making you crave certain things? (Which, incidentally, definitely has to be some kind of evil conspiracy.) It even starts with movies for the little ones; as a kid I couldn’t watch Snow White without wanting an apple (and yes, I understood that the apple in the movie was poisoned, lol!) and Lady and the Tramp has always incited a craving for spaghetti. And thanks to Edmund and the wickedly alluring White Witch, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will always mean Turkish delight....

Maple-Walnut Buckwheat Scones with Honeyed Sage Butter

December 7, 2011 by Faith 25 Comments

Can I let you in on a little secret? I’m not really sure how I feel about buckwheat. (Probably not the best way to sell you on these scones, but I have to keep it real, right?) This was the first time I baked with it, and actually, the first time I’ve knowingly had it (other than in soba noodles, which I do enjoy). Buckwheat is so healthy, I wanted to like it, really I did. But it’s just so…I don’t know…grassy, maybe? Truth be told, cardboard-y is probably a better word....
