Cinnamon Whipped Cream

This Homemade Cinnamon Whipped Cream is a new favorite. It’s a perfect addition to Pumpkin Pie, Apple Crumble or Baked Apples, even Apple Cider, or any other Fall or holiday desserts you’re serving up.

If you’ve never made whipped cream before, check out How to Make Whipped Cream from Scratch. I go over every detail of how to make whipped cream and the 3 different stages your whipped cream can look like.

Whipped cream is the perfect creamy topper for desserts and hot drinks and since the holidays are coming, I thought I’d share a tutorial with everything you need to know about making whipped cream.

If you’ve never made whipped cream before, it may seem a little intimidating at first, but I promise, it’s so easy to make. You can make whipped cream in under 10 minutes (or even ahead of time), impressing everyone that you made it from scratch!

My Go-To Red Velvet Cake

My Go-To Red Velvet Cake

Red velvet cake is more than just a white cake dyed red, it’s also not a full-fledged chocolate cake. Instead, it has a buttery, tangy flavor with a slight chocolate undertone. Red velvet cake has a pretty unique flavor with an old-fashioned, from-scratch quality that I love. In my opinion… no boxed red velvet cake mix can compare to the work and effort.

Scallion-Potato Pancakes

Have you heard of Kartóffelpuffer? The kartóffelpuffer is a traditional German potato pancake that is usually served at Christmas time. Well, this is my mash-up of that pancake with some ingredients from traditional Chinese Scallion Pancakes (葱油饼)

This is probably one of my favorite mashups of my and my husband’s cultures, it’s also one of my kids’ all-time favorite sides. I use the basics of the German potato pancake and replaced onions with scallions, then I added fish sauce and mushroom bullion to add an amazing umami flavor.

Summer Recipes and Ideas

Summer is flying by. We’ve been staying close to home this year, enjoying time with our family and taking advantage of what La Crosse has to offer. I grew up in Madison and used summers to travel and see family. So embracing what you have at home is something I hold close to me. I realized as I got older, how much I need to embrace both exploring other places, and appreciating what I have here.

Marinated Cherry Tomato Mozzarella Salad

This marinated cherry tomato mozzarella salad is everything I love about summer food: no cooking (unless you want a crostino or two), fresh ingredients, and vibrant flavor. The cherry tomatoes marinate with olive oil, lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper for an hour or more if you so choose, so the flavors marry together well.
