Life this week:

Lots of simple joys. Rainy days, sopping boots, silly faces. Chocolate meringues. Peeling potatoes. Warm cuddles, new books, Yuyu Hakusho, and resolutions, of course.

Are you subscribed to Downeats? I sent out three new recipes this morning:

Chocolate Meringues
Potato Leek soup
Kale & Brussels salad

What’s your preference: SAVORY OR SWEET?

I’m going through a savory phase right now, especially in the mornings. These biscuits are so yummy- one of my new favorites! I was inspired by @cannellevanille -she has a fennel and caramelized onion biscuit recipe that’s delicious and I made when I was (wrongly) diagnosed with celiac. So good!

I decided to swap out onions for shallots (because I love them, also that’s what I had on hand) and I toasted the fennel seeds. Also, unlike Aran’s, my biscuits are not gluten free. The biscuits are made with @mainegrains flour, @katesbutter , @gneissspice fennel seeds, and they are sprinkled with @slacktidemaine sea salt.

A must try! Link in bio if you want the recipe- I’m sending it out soon ☺️

Sundays Cake: Gingerbread. Do you subscribe to my Downeats recipes? Because this is a good one!

Perfectly seasonal, with an array of warming spices from my fave @gneissspice 🥰 this cake is perfect for breakfast or with a midday coffee. The kids love it as an after dinner treat. It’s light and sweet, with a good spicy molasses flavor. I also used @mainegrains flour, @katesbutter and @oakhurstdairy , so lots of local goodness 😊

✨In my dream cafe I serve this cake toasted hot, with a small scoop of cinnamon ice cream on top, drizzled with cajeta and sprinkled with smoked sea salt. If you’re not feeling so ambitious as all that, I’ve made a super basic vanilla glaze to top it with. It’s also really good with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.✨

Carrot-ginger-miso soup. My new favorite, at all times of the day.

After 30 some odd years I'm finally warming up to winter in Maine, but only because it's complimented by cozy things like warm blankets, hot cocoa, and soups like these. What's your favorite thing about winter? (Or, if you hate it, what's the only good thing about it??)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This soup is just as bright and creamy as it looks- made with fresh ginger + red miso. It's the perfect amount of sweet, salty, and warming spice. The recipe will be sent out to my email list tomorrow AM, so if you're not on the list click the link in my bio to sign up 😌
