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.
Handle the Heat’s Bakery Style Cookies
I was scrolling through my saved chocolate chip recipes and found one that could be made in 30 minutes without an overnight rest. I had already left out a stick of butter the day before so I was ready to make magic in the form of melted sugar, butter, and chocolate. The recipe does say that it is best to let the cookies rest overnight in the fridge in order to marinate and create a stronger cookie flavor. I definitely think I will try that for the next batch. I did cut this recipe in half because 26 cookies is a lot for two people during a time of quarantine.
Nutella and Banana Stuffed Crescent Rolls
In the midst of the Covid Pandemic panic shopping, I bought a wholesale size package of crescent rolls. In my defense, they were in the frozen section, and I had this recipe in mind. Also, who doesn’t love crescent rolls? I might have crescent rolls to last 6 months, but they will definitely be eaten.
