Classic Southern Cream Cheese Pound Cake (Cold-Oven Method) Jump to Recipe Today's Musings: I recently stumbled upon the Netflix show Home Town, and I have to say, it’s the kind of cozy, charming renovation show that makes you want to bear the sweltering, sticky heat of Mississippi just to snag a renovated house for about $150K in Laurel. While binge-watching, I landed on the episode where Erin and Ben discover Miss Dot’s pound cake recipe tucked away in an old kitchen cabinet.

No-Bake Chai Tart with Cherry Gelée Jump to Recipe Today's Recipe: "Scattered Energies Leads to Unfulfilled Potential." That’s a tarot reading I received more than twenty years ago. It’s the only one I still remember—and for good reason. I whisper that reminder to myself daily, with my scattered energies flying about in all directs, often feeling like a Jill of all trades, master of one, maybe two at best.

Mushroom and Corn Enchiladas with Pasilla Sauce Jump To Recipe Today's Musings: This is a recipe from 2017 that I remade last night for a little get-together and updated the recipe as well. I wanted to update the post, but keep my 2017 musings...p.s. I did NOT ever buy the inn. I’m heading to Chimayo in New Mexico next week to look at a potential inn to buy.

To get me in the Southwest spirit for next week’s trip, I baked these vegetarian enchiladas in a creamy pasilla chili sauce.

Easy Beef Bourguignon Recipe: Cozy Comfort Food Jump to Recipe Today's Recipe: After making Gâteau de Bourgogne earlier this week, I still had three-quarters of a bottle of burgundy sitting around. And, with it being the middle of winter, I had to make a cozy, satisfying Beef Bourguignon. I learned the epitome of Beef Bourguignon during culinary school: French instructor, 48 hours of top sirloin marinated in wine and spices, house-made demi-glace.

Hearty Ham and Cheesy Potato Soup: A Leftover Solution Jump to Recipe Today's Thoughts: Holiday leftovers? Oui, oui.I’m pressing pause on my French travels for a moment to share my favorite solution to an overstuffed fridge. I made this soup last week, loved it so much, and promptly made it again. What started as a clean-out-the-fridge situation turned into something far better than planned. It’s creamy, smoky, and exactly the kind of hearty comfort you want on a cold winter night.

Gâteau Ardéchois — Cassic French Chestnut Cake Jump to Recipe Today’s Musings: We’ve traveled (culinarily speaking) to Arles, the heart of Provence. This wasn’t just another picturesque landscape for Vincent Van Gogh — it was a living, breathing canvas. He arrived in 1888, hoping the southern sun and light would revive both his spirits and his work. And revive he did. The Provençal sun transformed his palette. Fields of wheat, olive groves, and the surrounding countryside burst into color, revealing a golden light that had seemed hidden from him in the muted north.

Farmhouse Zucchini Bread Jump to Recipe TODAY'S MUSINGS: “You’ve written the book. The hard part is over.” Those infamous words spilled from my editor’s mouth after my final-final edits were complete — just about a year ago, on November 25, 2024. I still chuckle over that utterance weekly, often many times a week. Finishing the book was, without question, the hardest thing I’ve ever done — mentally and emotionally.

My favorite moment was bringing "our corner" of the event freshly-baked zucchini bread...it acted as an ice breaker and brought a sense of community. I'm going to try to do that going forward!

Back-to-Back bookish Sundays. Last Sunday, a Q&A Event at Arvida Book Co. (we sold out of my book!) and this Sunday, the Belmont Shore Book Fair.

I love the chance to share stories, answer questions, and meet readers of Gluten for Punishment. This upcoming Sunday, I rest! #Booksky

Gluten for Punishment by Julie Seyler

Gluten for Punishment by Julie Seyler

Dessert will never dump you. Gluten for Punishment is a sharply observant, deliciously personal story about dating, desire, and dessert. Part memoir, part cookbook, it’ll resonate with anyone who’s burned a few bridges…and their fair share of cookies.

Gluten for Punishment by Julie Seyler with 15 Five Star reviews from Amazon.

Trying to move the needle this week. Although book sales have been strong, reviews have been slow coming in. I'm up to 17 reviews with a goal of 20 for the week.

I know it's NOT all about the numbers, but the more reviews, the better chance I have of getting this book in more hands.

It’s not the New York Times, but...
