Apple Sesame Tart

Skip apple pie and make this!

Not joking, quite possibly my favorite dessert bite of the last year!!  Just sweet enough and perfect for using up the bounty of freshly picked apples that make September so delicious, this freeform apple tart — aka a galette — is a great beginner dessert that is creative and elegant enough for any occasion.

Get crafty as you artfully shingle a cascade of sweet and tart apples over the tender, buttery crust, and I love the unexpectedly rich nuttiness of sesame seeds and sparkle of sugar sprinkled over the crust.

Blueberry Orange Blossom Scones

Today we’re taking inspiration from lush, late summer Maine blueberries and one of my most memorable dinner party desserts (tune in for the story!) to create a scone that is nostalgic and exotic all at once.

These delightfully flakey and buttery baked treats are bursting with molten fruit and a touch of orange blossom water to make them extra special. Once you own the orange blossom water, add a splash to iced tea! A drip over yogurt! A spoonful to salad dressing! And definitely as flavoring for sweet icing to drizzle overtop some truly irresistible scones.

Gluten-Free Carrot Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting

To know me is to know I LOVE carrot cake. The rich spice, tender crumb (this one happens to be gluten free!), and natural sweetness — plus all the impressive pomp and circumstance of a layer cake, but this version could not be easier.

I got rid of raisins and added extra carrots and walnuts to pack this lovely snacking cake full of flavor and texture — and don’t mind me while I pillow clouds of fluffy brown sugar buttercream frosting on top!

Turkish Eggs

Maybe you followed along as these perfectly poached eggs nestled on a bed of herbed garlicky yogurt, glistening with brown butter and Aleppo pepper went viral a few months ago. But if not, prepare to meet one of my all-time favorite ways to start the day when visiting Turkey — made with (mostly) ingredients you already have so you can travel without ever leaving home.

Dunk toasty sourdough hunks through rivulets of golden butter and yolk and creamy yogurt — plus cool, crunchy cucumber chips for good measure! — and if you start feeling like you’re on vacation, I agree!!

Spring Frittata

Hakuna frittata!

OK, but actually, it really means “no worries” because frittatas can be eaten hot out of the oven, room temperature for an easy lunch with a lovely side salad, or cold out of the fridge for a delectable midnight snack — I recommend a swizzle of sriracha if you’re going this route!!

A frittata is an egg  dish that is first cooked on the stovetop to cultivate lovely soft curds, then finished in the oven for a wonderfully plush texture. I’ve filled this spring-inspired version with asparagus, leeks, yellow bell pepper, and tons of fresh herbs for a wonderful savory-sweet combination, with salty pops of creamy feta sprinkled around!  Did I mention it all cooks in one pan (choose one with sloped edges if you know what’s good for you — you’ll see lol!) so clean up is easy, too?

Whether you’re looking for a perfect Mother’s Day main or just to up your egg game, take advantage of the season and dig in!
