Lucky Leaf Blueberry Coffee Cake
I went to Camp Blogaway over the weekend, and to celebrate I baked a coffee cake! This year Luck Leaf sponsored* my trip to Camp Blogaway and asked me to create a new recipe perfect for a weekend in the mountains. Along with some fun items to give to some lucky campers – like muffin liners, pie carriers, samples of their Premium Fruit Pie Fillings, and funky retro timers – I brought this cake to share. After dinner, while...

Last year – as peach season came to a close – I got a bulk package of dry peaches to get me though the winter. I love them because they are sweet, chewy, and terribly versatile.

Boozy Blood Orange Pound Cake
I have a new love in my life and it is Blood Orange Liqueur. If you have never had blood orange liqueur you need to immediately! My brand of choice is Solerno. The flavor is mild and not overly sweet, and it tastes like fresh blood orange juice but with a distinct – and potent – kick. It also comes in a beautiful bottle, if such things matter to you. I can’t say enough nice things about it. We had it in more than a...
