Breads, Cakes, and Cookies!

True to his word, hub bought a waffle maker and got to work making some Wafles & Dinges-like waffles. The recipe literally took three days to make – what with all the dough rising, resting, and refrigerating steps coupled with hub’s busy work schedule – but the result was SO YUMMY!!! (Oh, how I love that man :-))

*The recipe contained loads of a type of sugar that caramelizes on top of the waffle and makes a kind of buttery candy coating. Did I mention that I looooove that man?

Beignets at Serpas True Food in the Old Fourth Ward

Star Provisions in West Midtown is one of my favorite spots for a quick bite, and I always grab some of their cornmeal lime cookies to-go. Sometimes they don’t actually make it out of the car, but that’s neither here nor there…

KuppyCakes Cupcakes: seriously the BEST cupcakes I’ve ever tasted! (More here and here!)

Buttery Oatmeal Nut cookies: Get the recipe here!

What a blessing it is to have friends who bake! Just look at this slice of cake!

Biscuits at Buttermilk Kitchen are my fave: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just plain yummy, buttery, slightly sweet goodness.

*The next time I ordered the grits, I asked for NO butter, lol.
