I was inspired to make this cake from a little treat I used to get at a local coffee shop. They only had a few vegan options, and one of them was this little peanut butter snack cake. It actually didn’t have frosting at all, but instead was topped with mini chocolate chips. I decided to go all out and top my cake with peanut butter frosting, and the results are incredible!...

Happy Labor Day! Also known as the start of fall. To me, at least. I know technically, fall doesn’t start for a couple more weeks, but this weekend is always the transition one for me. We soak up the last bits of summer and then start looking ahead to fall. Fall might be my favorite season. It’s just cozy and comforting. It always feels like a new beginning, I suppose because it’s back to school time....

To start, combine some flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add some cubed butter (use real butter!) And cut it in until the dough is crumbly. For things like this, I usually just use my hands to crumble the butter. Just kind of smash everything in between your fingers until you have little pebble-sized pieces of butter throughout. Be careful not to over-smash. You need small pieces of butter to create steam pocket in the dough and get nice fluffy biscuits....

Ingredient Notes White Chocolate – You can use Baker’s white chocolate, white chocolate chips, or almond bark. If using real white chocolate, you’ll need to add a little vegetable oil or shortening to make dipping easier. More on that below in the instructions. I suggest almond bark or candy melts for the easiest dipping. Strawberries – Make sure your berries are dry or the chocolate won’t stick. Wash them well ahead of time, pat dry, and then let them air dry for a bit before dipping!...

That whole experience led to a life-long obsession with apple cider. Not the drinky-drink kind of cider, just the fresh-from-an-orchard-tasting murky brown stuff. I love it. Like, last meal kind of love. And brew it up with spices? It doesn’t get better. I feel the same way about applesauce that I do about apple juice–I’ll eat it in a pinch, like in the hospital after I have a baby or when I lock myself in the bathroom while hiding from my children....
