What are you making for Thanksgiving dinner? And what’s your favorite part of the feast? Oooh! And what’s your favorite kind of pie? (Mine’s chocolate)

I’ve done exactly zero prepping, so I should probably change that tomorrow. It’s actually sacrilege to let Thanksgiving pass without making a pie, right? But we’re not hosting so I think I’ll get away with it this time. 😉

The holiday season may be busy, but it’s one of

The holiday season may be busy, but it’s one of my favorite times to bake. So many good things, so little time. But if I can put together something that's beautiful, festive, and easy, I'm all there for it.

This Pomegranate Puff Pastry Cheesecake Tart checks all of those boxes and is made so easy with Amoretti's Pomegranate Swirl. #ad Tap the save button to keep the recipe handy, and use the code GOODTHINGS15 for a 15% discount on Amoretti's full line of high-quality swirls, glazes, extracts, syrups, and more!

Pomegranate Puff Pastry Cheesecake Tart
-1 9"x9" sheet of puff pastry
-1 large egg, beaten
-8 oz. cream cheese at room temperature
-1/2 cup sugar
-1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
-2 Tbsp. Amoretti Pomegranate Swirl

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sheet of puff pastry on it and brush a layer of beaten egg over it with a pastry brush. Use a sharp-tipped knife to score a square about 1/2" in all the way around, making sure not to cut all the way through. You should have a sort of frame around the edge of your puff pastry. Score a large X inside the frame--this helps the center not puff quite as high as the edges.

Place the puff pastry in the oven for 15 minutes. While it’s baking beat together the cream cheese and sugar until they are smooth. Add the rest of the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.

After 15 minutes, remove the puff pastry from the oven. It should be puffy and a light golden brown. Use a fork to press down the center (inside of where you scored it) and spread the cream cheese mixture into the indented area.

Drizzle the Amoretti Pomegranate Swirl over the top of the cream cheese in a random pattern, then use the end of a knife to swirl it in.

Return to the oven and bake for another 12-14 minutes, or until the center of the cream cheese is only slightly jiggly when you shake it.

Place the tart in the refrigerator until it’s completely chilled, then use a sharp knife to cut it into squares. Makes 16 small squares or 9 large. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Enjoy! #Amoretti

It’s 2020, and we’ve spent most of the year in

Everyone’s celebrating the fact that it’s now

Everyone’s celebrating the fact that it’s now “cookie season,” but I’m just wondering...did it ever stop being cookie season? Because I thought they were always in vogue. These are the burning questions I need answered right now.

Resolving that no matter what happens today, tomor

Resolving that no matter what happens today, tomorrow I’m still loving my neighbor. Doesn’t matter if we voted for the same candidates, doesn’t matter what the outcome is. Because how we respond tomorrow matters and says a lot about who we actually are as Americans and humans. But I also recommend a skillet cookie for stress eating. Vanilla ice cream on top is definitely not optional.

Recipe on good things baking.com—just search skillet cookie. P. S. There’s browned butter involved.

There just hasn't been enough cookie dough action around here lately. Fixing that now. #eatmorecookiedough.

And if you're not a raw cookie dough eater, I'm working on something just for you. Because I love you so much and think that everyone needs cookie dough in their life, eggless or not.

As lovely as fall is, I cry a little inside when the last of the stone fruit goes. How about you?

If you have a few peaches and cherries lingering, this Stone Fruit & Goat Cheese Flatbread is on the blog and so very delicious.

If you're in the mood for baking but you also still don't have the heart or temperatures to crank up the oven, let me assure you that donuts are the perfect answer that problem. Or really any problem, right?

Summer’s bounty meant that a whole twelve blueberries from our garden made it into this blueberry peach galette. And while I’m grateful for grocery stores so that I could fill in with a few more, pretty sure the ones we picked with our own fingers made it even more delicious.

Recipe for this beauty is up on the blog. Lattice work is definitely optional but highly recommended—a little extra beauty is always a good thing. Happy baking!

It can’t be coincidence that #nationalicecreammonth and blueberry season happen at the same time, so Blueberry Swirl Ice Cream is just about the most appropriate thing around. Find the recipe on my blog!

Having officially welcomed summer, I’ve also officially said goodbye to my oven for the season {just kidding. Kind of}. Which means that I need to get my dessert fix elsewhere, and is also why cheesecakes will be made in my Instant Pot for the foreseeable future. Or maybe forever, because it’s so much easier?

Today is #worldbakingday , which seems like a good time to tell you... you’re a great baker. Whether the brownies came from a box or were the scratchiest of scratch, if you measure with cups or weigh with a scale, if you adore your sourdough starter baby or are all about that commercial yeast, you’re killing it.
•
Because baking the good things is really just a way to enjoy the really good things. Things like making cookies with and for someone you love, celebrating life’s good moments with cake, or greeting the day with a fresh muffin or pastry. It doesn’t have to be perfect or fancy, it just needs a dash of love thrown in. So go bake something wonderful—that’s what today is all about. ❤️
•
P.S. these brownies came from a box, and they were amazing. Recipe is in my site, goodthingsbaking.com, where they are really having a moment.

Is there an Italian equivalent for Cinco de Mayo? Because though tonight’s tacos were 👌🏻, I could really get behind a holiday that’s an excuse to eat pasta and crusty bread. Who’s with me?

I made this no knead loaf in less than two hours because I used my Instant Pot to prove the dough. Recipe is on my blog so we can have a carby feast any time we want in practically no time.

If you are feeding humans and a sourdough starter

If you are feeding humans and a sourdough starter (oh hi, it me) and want to branch out a little from the usual loaf of bread, I’ve got you covered. I shared a bajillion (ok, not quite that many) ways to use your starter on the blog, so go check it out for inspiration. There’s donuts! And pancakes. And pizza! And donuts! And bagels, English muffins, and waffles, oh my. Did I mention that the donuts are really good?

The past few weeks have shown that when all of us are stuck at home, none of us know what day of the week it is. And I thought I was the only one who had that problem. #solidarity is a beautiful thing, no?

Recipe for the best homemade cinnamon rolls is on www.goodthingsbaking.com ❤️ And since we don’t know what day it is, baking is no longer a weekend activity. So go for it.

We’re all staying in for the next couple of week

We’re all staying in for the next couple of weeks, right? Washing our hands, sanitizing all the things, and cancelling all those parties. But hey, if your hands are going to be that clean, might as well get in the kitchen and (de)stress bake! Here’s a few things that you maybe(probably) wouldn’t have time to do if we weren’t all becoming homebodies. Things like... •Make a sourdough starter and bake bread. You need flour, water, and salt-boom! @bakerbettie and @lionsbread both have wonderful tutorials for the whole, simple process from making a starter to a gorgeous loaf. •Learn how to make croissants. I have a tutorial on www.goodthingsbaking.com—just search croissants on the recipe page! The flaky, buttery goodness is worth every minute. •Bake some cookies with your kids (if you have them). I’ll share some tips on baking with kids tomorrow. It can be fun. Promise. •Make a batch of cinnamon rolls and freeze some so you can have them over the next few weekends (or for snitching between conference calls). It’s a simple pleasure to look forward to. •Make a layer cake. It takes time and patience, but it’s worth it. And hey, they generally freeze well too, so you can have a party when we’re all out again and catching up on social interaction! @frostingandfettuccine and @oliveandartisan have some amazing cake recipes and tutorials.

Sound off below and let me know how you’re holding up right now, and what you plan to bake over the next couple of weeks. We’re all in this floury, carby situation together. ♥️

Seven years ago today, my very favorite human and I got married in a private airplane hangar. And while that wasn’t as weird as it sounds, it was the perfect way to start this crazy, beautiful, messy, fabulous business of life together. We may not have gotten a romantic night out to celebrate, but we did share a chocolate chip cookie. And that’s true love, friends.

Things I’m currently responsible for keeping alive: a five year old, a two year old, two infants, a puppy, and a sourdough starter. Now seems like a good time to add plants to the mix, right? 🌿🌱 Please go to my stories and give me your best advice for not killing them with my #blackthumb. •
I feel like Blueberry Chocolate Scones are what’s going to keep me alive for a little while. It’s an old, favorite recipe that got a major makeover and I am not sad about it.
