A week or so ago I was scrolling through Instagram when I came across a post from Sarah Jampel featuring a stunning Rhubarb Pistachio Frangipane and Cornmeal Tart Crust. Even though I’ve watched every season of The Great British Bake Off, saved countless tart recipes on Pinterest, and traveled throughout Europe spending a lot of time in bakeries, I have actually never eaten a tart in my life. I don’t know what to say except that I grew up on boxed brownie mix, boxed cake mix, and nestle tollhouse cookie dough from a package in the refrigerated section. I’ve also only eaten rhubarb 2-3 times in my life. Again, I don’t know what to say except that it’s not a big produce in the south.

Bon Appetit’s Salty Buckwheat Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Bon Appetit has a sub-site called Basically which helps teach people how to be better cooks, and I am so glad it exists. Basically came out with a 10-week “Better Baking Challenge” and these cookies were week one. I can’t believe I waited until quarantine to make these cookies, because they are phenomenal.
Gourmet Makes and Shelby’s Vegetarian Whole Wheat Bagel Bites
While binge-watching Bon Appetite’s YouTube channel, I watched the Gourmet Makes episode where Claire Saffitz makes bagel bites. It is the only episode where I watched and thought, wow, that actually looked fun to make and I want to try! I’m not a fan of the original bagel bites but I am a fan of bagels, and pizza. So I got started!
Basically’s Vegan Coconut Lentil Soup
An easy, cozy soup, that last throughout the week for leftover lunches, is everything that I look for in a soup. And this is it. I loved how easy this soup came together. The soup was warm in its flavor, creamy (thanks coconut milk), and a little bit of red pepper flakes adds a kick to bring up the flavor even more. Also pairs nicely with naan.
Chris Morocco's Creamy-ish of Mushroom Soup
I received an email from Bon Appetit’s Healthyish newsletter last week featuring this soup. I am a big fan mushroom and garlic, so I couldn’t resist cooking this up right away. The next night I went out to the farmers market in town and gathered all of the ingredients I was missing, came home and got to work. To my surprise, this soup was good, but it isn’t a soup I would make again.
Bon Appetit’s Whole Grain Pancakes
Sunday morning is the perfect time to take it slow, and make breakfast a special occasion. I like to make crepes, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, or french toast on a lazy sunday morning. It may seem like those types of recipes can be a lot of work and not very “lazy,” but you would be mistaken, especially with these whole grain pancakes from Bon Appetit. I’ve been using this recipe for years. These pancakes are light, fluffy, hearty, delicious and easy!
Bon Appetit’s Breakfast Bowl with Sweet Potatoes and Turmeric Egg
Bon Appetit is one of my favorite places to go for recipe inspiration. However, this recipe was a mild disappointment, and with as many recipes as they have on their site, not all of them can be winners. ALSO, I did some of improvisation, so the results could be my fault…
BA Chocolate Pudding Pie Trial
I came across this pie recipe before Thanksgiving and immediately knew I had to make it for my Friendsgiving. I am not a big fan of the traditional pie recipes….
