Chewy Chai Crinkles

October 3, 2021 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

It’s time to think about sweet Autumn treats. I love cookies with the warm spices of fall, a perfect snickerdoodle or a pumpkin spice cookie, but I have always tried to change things up a little with recipes like Maple Spice Crinkles,Gingerbread Pillows or Clove Cookies. And now these Chewy Chai Crinkles. I don’t like coffee, so the entire coffee house trend … [Read more...] about Chewy Chai Crinkles

Chai Spiced Swirl Bread

March 21, 2021 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Cinnamon swirl bread has been, for most of my life, a treat. It wasn’t regular breakfast fare growing up, but it sometimes made an appearance in a bag from the grocery.

I don’t remember when I discovered the pleasure of sweet potato pie, but I … [Read more...] about Sweet Potato Buttermilk Chess Pie

Seriously Fresh Blueberry Pie

July 6, 2014 by The Runaway Spoon 4 Comments

When the summer blueberries are so abundant, I love to feature them in a way that doesn’t mask their sweet-tart and tender beauty.  And this pie is chockfull of blueberries.  A pile of fresh berries is bound together with sweetened berries and just a hint of cornstarch to thicken things up.  I prefer this to the sometimes gelatinous pie fillings you often … [Read more...] about Seriously Fresh Blueberry Pie

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.
