A Molly Robison Original recipe, mostly because I wanted to have butterscotch chips around to snack on.

Butterscotch and sea salt brownies with peanut butter drizzle, which I’m hoping will dry at some point but I make no promises. 🍽️ 🍰 🍪 🥜 🍫
Three brownies have been punched out into 8-petaled flower shapes using a cookie cutter. They are studded with caramel colored butterscotch chips and drizzled with peanut butter icing. They are sitting on a blue and pink ceramic plate.

A Test, soon to be A Thing.

Making my MIL’s birthday cake this year - this is King Arthur Baking Company’s Peanut Butter-Fudge Buckeye Cake (well, half of one anyway. It’ll be two of these bitches stacked on top of one another.)

The man and I just devoured the test batch. I love her. 🥜 🍫 🍰 🍽️
A chocolate cake, halved and filled with peanut butter cream, sits on a glass plate. It is topped with a very shiny chocolate glaze which runs down the sides.

This ridiculous guy in his “Clarence glasses”, as my mother called them, would’ve been 72 today.
Happy birthday, dad. Love you and miss you every day.

Also I had a hankering and could not continue my life until it was sated.

Split Pea Soup. @smittenkitchen.bsky.social’s recipe. ‘Tis the season. 🫛 🥣 🥓 🍽️

I didn’t know cakes could be this soft.

Weekly work treat: King Arthur Baking Company’s Honey Lemon Cake. Made some candied lemon peels for the top. 🍯 🍋 🍰 🍽️

She’s also giving Big Cornbread Energy for some reason, which is definitely a feature and not a bug.
A creamy yellow slice of cake sits on a white plate with a blue rim. Several slivers of candied lemon peel sit on top of the slice.

It is illegal to not do at least one cider recipe during spooky season, and I absolutely do make the rules in this regard.

This time around it’s @smittenkitchen.bsky.social’s Apple Cider Doughnut Cake, because Deb can do no wrong. 🍎 🍩 🍰 🍂 🍽️
Ten slices of reddish brown apple cider loaf cake sit on a piece of parchment paper. A thin donut glaze can be seen drizzled over the top. An apple and a jug of apple cider are in the background.

NA pals - this is fuckin’ delicious and honestly could also easily double as an NA whiskey replacement in a cocktail, somehow.

It’s October, and 82% of everything I make is going to be pumpkin related. Hope y’all are okay with that. 🎃 🍰 🍽️

Behold: King Arthur Baking Company’s Pumpkin Espresso Bundt Cake. Thank fuck I have my mom’s (maybe grandma’s?) Bundt cake pan, because no way in hell I would ever think to purchase one.
Two segments of a orangish brown Bundt cake sit on a white plate with a blue rim. Swirls of darker cinnamon espresso can be seen in the slices. The tops have been dusted with powdered sugar.

The other bakes I’ve made that happened to be on @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social’s Best of Fall list, so far, have been a coincidence; this one was very intentional. 🎃 🥧 🍽️

These are their Pumpkin Pie Bars for this week’s work treat.
Thin slices of pumpkin pie in the shape of long, rectangular bars sit on a piece of parchment paper on a wooden table. They have been topped with a sour cream whipped cream and sprinkled with cinnamon.

I’ve made a lot of apple/cinnamon stuff in my time…and this may be my favorite of all the apple cinnamon things.
Why is it so good? Is it the potato flakes? IS IT THE POTATO FLAKES??

Anyway this is @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social’a Cinnamon Apple Twist Bread 🍞 🍎 🍂 🍽️
A slice of twisted bread sits on a blue cutting board. The rest of the loaf is on the background. The loaf has been drizzled with white icing and a swirl of apple and cinnamon can be seen throughout the loaf itself.

Sometimes, very occasionally, Wisconsin is magic.

Hot damn I do be lovin’ pumpkin stuff. Can’t help it. I’m a white Midwesterner. It’s in our blood.

For the coworkers this week, King Arthur Baking Company’s Chocolate-Pumpkin Crumb Cake. I feel like you should share this with your grandpa over a cup of strong coffee after raking or something. 🎃🍰🍽️
Three rectangular slices of pumpkin cake sit in a triangle on a plate. They have chocolate crumbs on top, and a white icing on top of the crumbs.

Visiting the MIL and brangin’ treats.

King Arthur Baking Company’s Fudgy-Chewy Pumpkin Cookies. I am obsessed with these and I don’t know what else to say about them. Other than that they’re full of brown butter.🎃 🍪 🍽️
Eight orange/brown pumpkin cookies covered in rainbow sugar sit in a circle, overlapping one another, on a white plate.

Made The Sauce for the Secret Cheesecake Project at work. This is *my* creation. (Can’t wait to tell you what it actually is.)

Chef’s obsessed. I (humbly) think it’s quite tasty. The working title is Goth Sauce. I was gonna write spooky but ran out of room and it doesn’t matter. 👻 🍽️ 🍰

Pies intimidate the hell out of me. I love making them, but sometimes I want pie energy with less stress.

Voila - King Arthur Baking Company’s Apple Pie Bars. I believe serving these without either ice cream or whipped cream is illegal, so do bear that in mind if you make them. 🍎 🥧 🍂 🍽️
A red and yellow gala apple sits next to an apple pie bar (basically a whole apple pie in a brownie format) on a small white pedestal. Both are sitting on a worn wooden table.

I don’t want this to be as good as it was. It doesn’t LOOK good.

But I saw king trumpet mushrooms in the store & I’ve always wanted to try vegetarian scallops.

Fully scrumptious!! Butter & Tony c’s, seared in a pan (which I’ll do harder next time. I was just scared because they’re lil ‘shrooms.) 🍽️
King trumpet mushrooms have been cut to resemble scallops, scored, and seared. They are laid out on a bed of wilted spinach on a white plate.

Challah turned out lovely 🥹 Mostly sliced it up and gave it to the neighbors, but reserved 1/4 loaf as tax. 🍽️
Three slices of chocolate chip challah sit on a white paper plate with a blue and green design around the edge.

Shroud of Turin but make it challah.
A piece of parchment baking paper which previously held a braided loaf of challah, the outline of which can still be seen.

Working on my challah game is kind of a forever project, but I’m very happy with how this turned out!

Funny enough, this King Arthur Baking Company recipe is called ‘Molly’s Challah’ (it’s by Molly Yeh), so it felt appropriate. Threw some chocolate chips in there for dem shits and giggles. 🍞 🥚 🍫 🍽️
A braided loaf of challah bread studded with chocolate chips sits on a white sheet of parchment baking paper. The puffiest parts of the bread are a deep golden brown and the creases where the braids meet are a creamy white.

When the instructions include concentrating down the pumpkin before baking for ultimate pumpkinness, I am bound to be delighted.

King Arthur Baking Company’s The Most Pumpkin Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread. Added a vanilla cinnamon icing because it seemed right to. 🎃 🍞 🍽️
Sliced chocolate chip pumpkin bread on a sheet of parchment paper on a long platter. White icing drizzled over the top.

I’m one of those people who loves a novelty dip but never actually buys them - went to Aldi today with the boy and got a dip flight dinner (along with crackers and sausages.)
Cranberry jalapeño (obscenely good), crab rangoon, red pepper and artichoke tapenade, and lobster roll.

Joy. 🍽️
Four open containers of dip sit on a countertop. From left to right, cranberry jalapeño, crab Rangoon, red pepper and artichoke tapenade, and lobster roll.
