Best Ever Brownies
These brownies turned out cake-like on the outside edges and a bit soft and raw in the center. (more…)

Buttermilk Crumb Muffins
I love muffins with crumb toppings, although they are a bit more like dessert, so I was looking forward to making this recipe.
Like most of the recipes I’ve made so far from Baking with Julia, this one is straightforward. It’s also fairly simple. I almost wanted to replace the buttermilk with yogurt, because in my experience most baked goods work exceptionally well with this substitution, however I refrained since buttermilk is in the name. I did use butter instead of shortening.
The muffins came out fluffy and tender. The crumb topping adds a nice sweetness and texture to make these muffins a bit more special. Buttermilk Crumb Muffins are great for breakfast with coffee or tea, or for a snack.
Blueberries and lemon zest would be a wonderful addition for the next time I make these lovely little muffins.
To get the recipe check out the book Baking with Julia, by Dorie Greenspan.

Bagels
This was my first time making bagels. It was fun and I do plan to make them again. The bagels definitely don’t keep for long, so I’m glad I only made half the recipe.

Nectarine Upside-Down Chiffon Cake
With three parts to this cake, it definitely took a while to put together. My husband and I hand-whipped the egg whites and sugar, and it worked really well.
