Coconut Cashew Butter | Bakerita.comI’ve got some weird nut butters on Bakerita.

And folks, they’re going to keep on coming. There’s something about them that feels like I have infinite possibilities (probably true), and not enough people make their own nut butters.

So, on a quest for everyone to have some sort of homemade nut butter in their home, I’m going to try to share the best of the nut butters that come out of my kitchens. And oh man, is this one of the best. [Read more...]

Black-Bottomed Coconut Macaroons

I’ve been meaning to write this post all week, but somehow, school has managed to provide a slew of distractions that kept it from happening. This week was chockfull of tests, quizzes, projects, and various other (useless) assignments that kept me from getting anything besides school done. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I’m currently sitting in SeaTac airport, waiting to board my flight to Barcelona!

Yes, as in Spain.

Woooo! I’ve been to Europe a few times, but never Spain. [Read more...]

He said he wanted the meringue cookies, but with fresh cherries in them. [Read more...]

I've made tons of recipes combining these ingredients, and there are plenty more C&PB recipes that lurk bookmarked in my cookbooks, pinned onto my Pinterest board, and stuffed into my recipe folders.
