I’m taking a three week break as we’re going on a short holiday. So it is going to be mid-November before I post again. Before I go, I must tell you that I came across Tamarillos or Tree Tomatoes of this season. This is the season for them and perhaps all I’m going to see…
We’re back baking at the Bread Baking Babes once again. This month, we’re giving our ovens a rest as Karen chose Steamed Bao Buns for us to make. This turned out to be a good thing for me, as my oven has started dying on me. Steamed Bao Buns are Chinese yeasted buns with fillings….

What do you do when you life gives you a whole lot of apples? If you’re me, you would probably turn some of them into apple pie. Since I am predictable when it comes to apple pie, I did bake pie. However, it was a Norwegian Apple Pie, for a change. I love anything that’s…
I’m really late with this month’s Bread Baking Babes a.k.a BBB bread which is a Yeasted Plum Coffee Cake with an Oatmeal Streusel Topping. Actually, Judy picked a Zoe Francis recipe for Yeasted Blueberry Coffee Cake. I don’t get blueberries here so I went with plums instead. This Yeasted Plum Coffee Cake uses a brioche dough…
