Poppy Seed Almond Cake

This beauty is an easy poppy seed almond cake with a light, brushed-on, citrus glaze. Just beat together the wet ingredients, beat in the dry ingredients and pour it in the pan. It came out light, moist (sorry), flavorful and delicious. I'll definitely make this one again. And really, any activity that ends in fabulous cake is a good activity, yes? 

Chocolate and Pistachio Oatmeal-Rye Cookies

Dark chocolate, White chocolate, Pistachios, Unsweetened shredded coconut, Poppyseeds, Old fashioned oats, Rye and all purpose flour, Light brown sugar. Look at the gorgeous texture all of those ingredients create! They're large, bakery style cookies, crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle. The chocolate, coconut, and pistachios balance the intenseness of the rye and poppyseeds. The coconut, brown sugar and oats create the chew. I also may try them again without the poppyseeds and more pistachios one day. (I'm a devoted pistachio fan.) Bake them all at once or freeze the portioned out dough for whenever a cookie craving strikes.

Strawberry Almond Poppyseed Cake

A rich almond and sour cream cake, brightened by fresh strawberries and orange zest, with a little nutty crunch from sliced almonds on top and poppyseeds dotted throughout. So flavorful. It’s the kind of cake you savor at first bit, but then demolish pretty quickly, or at least that’s what happened in my house!
