Twice Sautéed, Twice Salted Crispy Potatoes

These sautéed potatoes have the crispiest surface and the softest center! They’re one of my favorite things to cook and eat! The reason they’re impossibly crispy and soft at the same time is because they’re first slow cooked in olive oil, kind of a confit, making the potatoes tender on the inside, and then cooked in high heat to finish up sealing that crispy outside. Each potato bite is decadent and so flavorful! Do you ever thought you’ll be talking about potatoes the same way you talk about ice cream? After you make these, you definitely will!

It was in high school when I tasted the most amazing plate of potatoes. Way better than French fries!! I was at a friend’s house and her mother made them for us as a snack. After trying them I was curious about…

Peanut Butter Coffee Cake with Homemade Blueberry Preserves

The taste of peanut butter shines in this Peanut Butter Coffee Cake. It has peanut butter in the batter and in the streusel for extra peanut butter goodness. The middle is filled with homemade blueberry preserves and the pieces of blueberries plus peanuts in the streusel give this cake a very nice bite! The consistency of the cake itself is like a quick bread but still super soft and fluffy. I can’t believe it’s already gone from my kitchen!

I’m not kidding when I tell you this cake if for peanut butter lovers, not likers. And I don’t want to scare away peanut butter neutral people because…

Soft and Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

If you want a chocolate chip banana bread that’s extremely moist, soft, tender and full of chocolate, this is the one you need to make!! I used cake flour for an ultra fine and light crumb and bittersweet chocolate chips to balance out all the sweetness from the bananas and the brown sugar. Sour cream and oil is what makes this banana bread ultra moist. This cake is so simple I promise you’ll have it on repeat!

What so special about this banana bread? It’s made with cake flour, which typically is a big NO for loaf cakes or quick breads, such as. And if you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m not a banana bread gal. But, as a professional content creator who share things that nobody asked, it’s my responsibility…

Blueberry Jam Heart Shaped Doughnuts

You know it’s not Valentine’s in here if there aren’t Heart Shaped Doughnuts in my kitchen!! This year I sticked to my bready dough and filled them with a sweet elderflower blueberry jam. I also used the Tangzhong method for the dough to make it soft and fresh for days, not only the day they were fried. I’m also telling you how you can make these overnight and a few cool tips on how to reheat doughnuts to make them taste even better than when fried!

Maybe it’s because everyone loves these doughnuts so much, from you my readers to my neighbors in the first floor, that I couldn’t help to make these for Valentine’s. There’s something magical about them and ironically, I think it is the amount of work behind them, haha!! After you finally sit down with a doughnut in one hand, a cup…

Golden Rum Raisin Super Soft Cinnamon Rolls

Believe me when I tell you that all you want for Christmas is these Dark Rum Golden Raisin Cinnamon rolls! These rolls are soft, warm and pillowy, like any good Christmas morning should be. As you could’ve guessed, I used golden raisins instead of dark and used dark rum instead of white rum for a warmer note. I smeared them in a classic butter cream cheese icing, with a bit of booze just to make the morning even more fun! This dough is so soft, you can bake these…

Dark Chocolate Spiced Fudgy Brownies

These super soft and fudgy brownies come with a different story to tell. They are made with pure 70% dark chocolate and Dutch processed cocoa powder for a very intense dark chocolate flavor, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom to cozy you up during the autumn nights and sour cream (yes! sour cream) to highlight the acidic notes from the Dutch cocoa and to add moisture, creating a fudgy texture without…
