This strawberry snacking cake from @smittenkitchen is all I want to eat for the foreseeable future. How is your summer going so far?

🍰Strawberry season is here🍓

I made this strawberry cake for a dear friend's birthday (happy birthday @alex.sabat 🥳). Coming in just shy of 5 cups of fresh strawberries, excluding whatever amount is on top, id says it's strawberry forward. I wish I could say I haven't been posting much because I'm working on a special project, but the truth is, I have just been getting outside every chance I get to enjoy this Alaskan summer ( or fighting seasonal migraines)! With that said, I will have some exciting things coming up a little later this month for @jojotastic !

What summer treats are you enjoying or looking forward to the most? I am very ready for stone fruits!

This month's recipe for @jojotastic was a Garden Galette. If you’re as excited as I am about farmers markets coming back and sunnier days, I think you’ll like this recipe. It’s easy and flexible. What spring produce are you happy to see coming back?

It’s been a long winter for Edna, my sourdough starter, but she is up and at it again! How many of you kept up with your quarantine bread-making?

Anchorage friends, if you want a loaf, let me know.

Gluten-Free Pasta Every once in a while, I like to

Gluten-Free Pasta
Every once in a while, I like to switch things up and do some gluten-free baking or cooking. One of my most used cookbooks for gluten-free recipes is Cannelle et Vanille ( @cannellevanille ). Aran's beautiful photography paired alongside well-tested and developed recipes make it a must-have, whether you're GF or not. The recipe for this GF pasta is in regular rotation around here. I'm sure I've said it before, but pasta from scratch is really easy and so much better fresh. Have you made fresh pasta before?

Roasted Beet Soup Whenever a friend asks me what

Roasted Beet Soup

Whenever a friend asks me what the one item is that everyone should have in their kitchen, my answer is always an excellent dutch oven. Usually, finding a high-quality, reasonably priced dutch oven can be tricky, but my friends @kana.goods have changed all of that! They have just launched a beautiful new line of cast-iron cookware in 6 unique colors that I haven't seen offered anywhere else before. I got to give my Milo ago, and it really came through. It retained an excellent even heat, it didn't stain (and let me tell you, if it can survive beets, it can handle anything), and the quality was impressive.

@Kana.goods prides itself on being sustainable (Using 40% recycled cast iron), versatile, affordable, and of course, beautiful. The new Milo dutch ovens as part of the #ColorMyMilo cast-iron set hit every mark. Currently, these new colors are only offered through the Kickstarter campaign, linked in bio, so be one of the first to snag your own set. What color would you choose? What would be the first thing you'd like to make? #sponsored

Happy Easter, everyone! This year I gave natura

Happy Easter, everyone!

This year I gave natural dye a try, and I’m pretty happy with the results. Have you tried using natural dye from vegetables and plants? What’s a spring tradition that is a must for you?

Happy Pi(e) day!

Pie will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first thing I learned to bake and it’s connected me to some pretty amazing people. Hopefully you’re able to snag a slice today. After losing that hour of sleep, we all deserve it.

For the remainder of March until mid April I’ll be unplugging. This last year I’ve really been struggling to find inspiration and honestly I’m feeling burnt out. The sun has been shinning up in Anchorage and my spirit needs some fresh air. See you all again in April. ♥️🥧✨

Baked Feta Baked feta has been A thing well befor

Baked Feta

Baked feta has been A thing well before TikTok, and I have to say, it’s better not to swirl the beautiful texture into a slurry. Confit tomatoes and garlic with feta and basil. It's great for a quick dinner. Have you given this a try yet?

Blueberry & Lemon Scones I always overbuy lemons

Blueberry & Lemon Scones

I always overbuy lemons and berries, so this recipe is the perfect solution. You can add the lemon glaze and candied lemon slices, or you can do the other ideal option and eat them fresh from the oven with only butter. The only real rule here is you must eat them while they are warm!

The recipe is up on the blog!

Happy Mardi Gras! I decided to make @joythebaker ‘s pull apart King Cake this year, and wasn’t disappointed. I can’t wait to go back to New Orleans.

Strawberry Cream Puffs For Valentines Day/Galenti

Strawberry Cream Puffs

For Valentines Day/Galentines Day this year, I decided to share a fun twist on the classic cream puff. This recipe uses real dehydrated strawberries and has only natural colors. The recipe will be live on wanderlustandpiecrust.com later today, and it's so easy you still have enough time to make it for your Valentine!

🥯Lox Bagel Sandwich🗽 I was going through so

🥯Lox Bagel Sandwich🗽

I was going through some pictures from last year, and I realized it had been a full year since I was in NYC. What a bummer. I decided it was a lox for lunch/dinner kind of day. This bagel recipe is on @nytcooking and is written by @csaffitz . The steps are super easy to follow, and the process takes a bit of time, but the reward is a batch of fresh bagels! My shaping could use some work, but overall, I am pleased.

What is a location-specific treat you're missing? I can't wait until we can safely pleasure travel again.

Winter Citrus Salad with Meyer Lemon Dressing Last

Winter Citrus Salad with Meyer Lemon Dressing
Last night we got a fresh dusting of snow, and it's a bit gloomy today.
I decided to pair some of my favorite winter fruits with a variety of bitter winter greens to make up a bright citrus salad with a Meyer lemon dressing, you know, to brighten things up around here. While this recipe lists specific citrus, feel free to omit or add based on your personal preferences, and of course, choosing what's most in season and available near you. The Meyer Lemon Dressing will bring it all together, no matter what you decide to use. What is your favorite winter produce?

The recipe is up on the blog, link in the bio.

Preserved🍋Lemons

This month I made a recipe for @jojotastic that included the use of preserved lemons. I figured I should share a recipe while Meyer lemons are still on the shelves! They do need some time, but they are worth the wait! Have you used preserved lemons before? What’s your favorite use!

Recipe is live on the blog, linked in the bio.

🍊Orange Cinnamon Rolls with Orange Zest Cream Cheese Frosting

There aren't many morning treats I crave more than a good cinnamon roll. This recipe takes the traditional cinnamon roll to citrus season and has a fun secret 🥔 ingredient that makes it the perfect pillowy texture.

Last week I finally moved wanderlustandpiecrust.com over to a WordPress account, so it got a little makeover, and a few new recipes are up and live. Check it out and give this one a try! link in bio.

Brownies with Peanut Butter Frosting

The first week of 2021 has earned us all a big treat. This recipe is from the January/February issue of @thebakefeed 's Bake From Scratch Magazine. This month's issue has lots of ways to celebrate citrus season, and a big selection of brownie goodness. Whether you like your brownies, fudgy, cakey, and everything in between, it's all in there. What is one good thing that got you through this week?

Merry Christmas! This Bananas Foster French Toast

Merry Christmas!

This Bananas Foster French Toast Bake dotted with little scoops of vanilla bean ice cream seems like the perfect Christmas morning treat to share. The recipe lives on my blog and was the most popular recipe this year.

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!

Happy holidays everyone! Making a Bûche De Nöe

Happy holidays everyone!

Making a Bûche De Nöel has become one of my holidays musts! This year has been different for all of us. I can say confidentially this is the least I’ve baked in years, for Christmas, and it feels very weird. Aside from this recipe, I shared with @jojotastic as her recipe contributor, I made one sad batch of cookies. Here’s to a better and brighter 2021! What is a holiday tradition you never skip? How are you all celebrating this year?
