I sent dozens of thank you cards this summer, and was encouraged by one of the recipients to sell them. So I started a store selling #greetingcards! We're launching with #thankyou #hanukkah and #mazeltov designs. https://occasionery.com/

We made this recipe with the fruit of summer and fall: peach šŸ‘, pear šŸ, applešŸŽ. The secret to keeping the topping crisp? Coarsely chopped nuts. https://www.gnufmuffin.com/2024/08/peach-blueberry-crisp-cooks-illustrated.html

2024 is another good year for stone fruit: peaches and apricots have been flavourful and juicy, and our two plum trees are overflowing at the moment. I was surprised that I’ve never blogged about this crisp before, because it’s so good that I’ve made several over the past few weeks.

Wow, the best #icecream I've made all summer. From Dorie Greenspan, a raspberry ice cream with chocolate flake. Don't miss the delightful "magic" chocolate shell. https://www.gnufmuffin.com/2024/08/chocolate-flake-raspberry-ice-cream.html
Chocolate-Flake Raspberry Ice Cream

It was a really hot July, so ice cream has been on my mind. Also, we’ve been getting a lot of fruit, thanks to the meal train that has been set up for Dr. S post-surgery. I’m so glad I made this ice cream from a pint of raspberries I wanted to use up, because it was well worth the effort.

What's in a name? This ice cream sundae, called #knickerbocker glory, had a name that was new to us, but it didn't take long for everyone to fall in love with it. https://www.gnufmuffin.com/2024/04/knickerbocker-glory.html
Knickerbocker Glory

For Passover this year, we were at my brother-in-law’s house, and I planned on making an exciting, frozen treat from the Sweet cookbook. We’ve made ice creams and sorbets in the past for this Jewish holiday, but this is the first time we’ve done assemble-it-yourself sundaes.

If you do a lot of #baking, you may end up with leftover egg whites. Financiers are a great way to use them up. https://www.gnufmuffin.com/2024/03/raspberry-pistachio-financiers.html
Raspberry Pistachio Financiers

Using up egg whites is a recurring issue when making things like curds, ice creams, custards, etc. Financiers are one way to use them up, but haven’t been a regular in our household. However, with the success of this batch, I may now have a go-to recipe whenever we have a surplus.

This dairy-free chocolate olive oil cake was easy to make, and everyone loved it. #baking https://www.gnufmuffin.com/2024/02/chocolate-olive-oil-cake.html
Chocolate Olive Oil Cake

After being invited to Friday night dinner, we were asked to make a dessert that was dairy-free to accommodate an allergy in the host. Dr. S suggested something vegan, but I landed on this olive oil cake with a small modification.

I've made key lime pie before, but this is the first time I've made it using homemade condensed milk, and homemade graham crackers! #baking https://www.gnufmuffin.com/2024/02/magic-key-lime-pie.html

Faced with a lot of milk at its best before date, I did what any sane person would do and made condensed milk: two batches, in fact. Read on to see how we used 8 litres of milk in just a few days.

6/6 the last cookie from our holiday #baking, a smoked almond and caramel crunch. https://www.gnufmuffin.com/2024/01/smoked-almond-and-caramel-cookie-crunch.html
Smoked Almond and Caramel Cookie Crunch

A sweet-smoky combo in a crumbly shortbread? Mmm, sounds good to me. Unfortunately, these turned out sub-optimally.

Mango chutney thumbprints, cookie 5/6 of holiday #baking. Rolled in cashews, savoury background, sweet-salty jam… yum! https://www.gnufmuffin.com/2024/01/mango-chutney-thumbprints.html
Mango Chutney Thumbprints

This cookie called for ā€œMajor Greyā€ chutney, which I had never heard of before. Wikipedia says it usually has raisins, but none of the ones I found included it. To avoid over-stocking on this condiment, I stopped shopping at three jars.
