Fall Baking

Just some things I've been baking since the start of September. I can't wait to do something with pumpkin soon... Maybe pumpkin cornbread?

Carrot-Apple Spice Cake
Decorated with lemon frosting and whole star anise

Something like a potato-arugula basil cheese pie,
but without a crust. Came out quite nicely despite bad picture here...

Ha! I think I perfected cornbread. Recipe below...

I used pignoli nuts and cumin seeds on the
bottom which added a wonderful toasted flavor.
