Blondies are one of my favorite bar type cookies and these almond raspberry blondies are a fantastic variation. It takes 10 minutes to get them into the oven and in under an hour you have a delicious snack. Make a double batch because these will disappear quickly!
I was in the grocery store this morning and Rainier cherries have arrived! They are delicious and sweet but their season is extremely short. Cherries and almonds go perfectly together so cherry frangipan tarts are the post of the day!

If you like warm, soft, and fragrant, these are the cinnamon rolls for you! The addition of a bit of mashed potato (yes, mashed potato!) gives these rolls their tenderness and makes them irresistible.
Spring is finally here and rhubarb upside down cake is a great way to celebrate! This cake is easy, delicious, and the balance of tangy rhubarb with soft, moist cake is outstanding.

If you follow the basic instructions you will have a reliable recipe for years to come.
