Festive Fruit Bars

November 27, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

We all have those events, particularly at this time of year, when we need to bring something. Bake sales, cookie swaps, parties.

I created this alternative to be a holiday friendly, unique … [Read more...] about Festive Fruit Bars

Overnight Scones with Many Variations

August 28, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Life is lurching back to gear again. Whether it’s back to school, or back to work after a vacation or just that sense that you need to buckle down now that days are starting to get shorter.

I have slowly been upping the ginger in my carrot cakes for … [Read more...] about Carrot Ginger Bundt Cake

Gingerbread Cake with Cookie Butter Frosting

I didn’t really grow up eating gingerbread, though there is a long history of gingerbread cake in the South. I mostly knew those classic gingerbread men cookies, which I have never much liked. I think they dry out too much and never have enough spice for me. But over the years, I started to experiment with various gingerbread recipes, both cookie and cake form, and it is now an … [Read more...] about Gingerbread Cake with Cookie Butter Frosting

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
