Fruit Crisp
This summer I’ve made countless variations of fruit crisp. Each one is a little different and that’s what I love about it. That, and the fact that I can eat it for breakfast. In typical Stephanie fashion, I don’t really follow a recipe. But, there’s a general template I follow to make this fruit crisp…. read more »
Kardemummbullar {Swedish Cardamom Buns}
Sweden. These are my people. I feel completely at home in the northland, which is fitting based on my ancestry. I don’t think I love anything more than fika, the afternoon ritual of taking a pause along with a coffee and cinnamon bun. Back home, I’m missing my daily fika so I recreated it in… read more »

Lucky Charms were a rare occurrence in the Howe household, but I do remember a couple blissful mornings of a marshmallow induced sugar coma. So worth it. I like to… read more »
Baked Chocolate Donuts
Sick days are no fun. But, they are better when you make donuts!…. and eat almost all of them in one sitting. Ooops. I’m not going to claim these baked donuts are as tasty as their fried counterparts, but they are pretty easy to whip up without the mess of trying to make a deep fryer in… read more »
Croissants with Taryn
My friend Taryn rocks. Not once, but twice, she has come to Bend to hang out with me when I’ve found myself injured and Zach is out of town. We’ve got in down to a routine. We bake, watch movies, drink wine, and laugh a lot. I cannot express in words how great it is… read more »
