Here's a link to the book. Still lots of recipes that need to be added. It's slow going because I need to verify everything and get pictures before a recipe can be added. So it's a bit sparse at the moment but I add recipes pretty regularly.

As some of you know, I've been putting together an online, open source, forever work-in-progress cookbook. For my birthday @azzyblue.bsky.social commissioned this absolutely amazing cover for my book. I'm incredibly touched. It's so good! Thank you Azzy and Mar!

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

I feel like I should post more, but really my life is pretty predictable. Play hockey, work, love my friends, make treats, and work out to avoid getting overly fat from the treats I make.

Simple, but it's pretty great. I could be doing a lot worse.

Random little test bake over the weekend. Working on nailing down my yellow cake recipe and flavoring buttercream with home made caramel sauce.

Looks plain, tasted amazing :9

Buttermilk biscuits

Buttermilk biscuits

A biscuit breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, fresh ground black pepper, a little bit of kewpie mayo, and sriracha.

It may not be a fancy cake or pastry, but the buttermilk biscuit makes for a part of my absolute favorite breakfast, the biscuit breakfast sandwich. I figured why not have one more less-than-healthy meal before getting started on burning off those holiday pounds.

Hit the gym for a big push after three nights of insomnia. I'm not sure if that's dedication or stupidity.

I would like to collapse and sleep, body willing.

I use the fruit too. There is some disagreement as to whether you should discard the juice after thawing or use it in the batter. Keeping the juice can make the loaf dense, claggy, and impact the rise. Discarding it can sacrifice flavor. Using this method I have a nice texture and all that flavor

I freeze my bananas before making banana bread. As they thaw they release a lot of their liquid, quite a bit if you let them thaw all the way to room temp. I take that stuff and reduce it to a syrup and use that instead of the original liquid.

Made really tasty banana bread by reducing released banana juice into a syrup first. Allowed for a really soft texture that wasn't too dense while also preserving all of that tasty banana flavor :9

I really love this dish. It's one of those that falls in the category of "Not super pretty, but tastes absolutely amazing".

Made some chocolate pudding cake while visiting some awesome critters over the weekend. Always nice to be able to treat craft on the road so I can share with friends :9

Tried a pecan pie recipe that didn't use corn syrup and while it was okay I don't think it's exactly what I was looking for. Looks pretty tho!

Usually I try to stay out of the public political discourse. But after nearly a year of BS there is still something I can't wrap my head around.

How is it that one country that holds 30% of the global wealth can claim that every other country on earth gave them a bad deal? Like... what?!

Snickerdoodles. Not the most visually stunning bake, but great for sending to a good friend that was feeling under the weather this weekend.

Behold the healing power of carbs!
