Week 12 of 52 Weeks of Baking⁣
⁣
How’s everyone doing? Staying busy? The mayor of Denver just issued a stay-at-home order so now I’m REALLY stuck at home baking. Can you say more live videos?⁣
⁣
Anyway, back to the 52 weeks of baking. This week I challenge you to make buttermilk biscuits. Guess what? You can make buttermilk at home if you can’t go to the store!⁣
⁣
In this blog post you will learn how to make buttermilk biscuits using a pastry cutter or food processor. Also, I provide tips on how to make buttermilk substitute, how to make biscuits ahead of time and inspiration for what to serve with biscuits.⁣
⁣
Find the recipe #ontheblog and tag @ifyougiveablondeakitchen when you bake buttermilk biscuits. Stay safe and healthy, friends!⁣

I'm interrupting the 52 Weeks of Baking with these chocolate chip banana muffins! They are a healthy twist on a fan favorite. Made without added sugar, these muffins are sweetened with banana, honey and @lilys_sweets dark chocolate baking chips!⁣
⁣
I was introduced to Lily's chocolate recently because they are Colorado-based (but sold across the country!). The chocolate is botanically sweetened with stevia, non-GMO and fair trade.⁣
⁣
These muffins are quick and easy to make with ingredients already sitting in your pantry! The full recipe is on the blog (swipe up in my stories). Find @lilys_sweets online or in your local grocery store. #lilyssweets #LessSugarSweetLife

Week 11 of 52 Weeks of Baking⁣
⁣
This week has been a tough one for many and times like these call for comfort food. I was happy to have apple pie on my baking schedule this past week. It's a dessert that makes you feel good and it's easy to make with pantry staples.⁣
⁣
I don’t have a video for my apple pie recipe this week. I’m praying to the Apple gods (of computers 👩🏼‍💻, not pie 🥧) that my laptop is fixed and sent back soon!⁣
⁣
This week I’ll answer the following questions: What are the best apples for pie? How do you freeze and reheat apple pie? What’s an egg wash and why do you need it? How do you make a lattice pie crust?⁣
⁣
Find the recipe on the blog and tag @ifyougiveablondeakitchen when you bake your apple pie. Stay safe and healthy, friends!⁣

What do you do when your laptop breaks and you have three recipes due tomorrow?⁣
⁣
I’d like to say sit on the sofa, look pretty and hope it fixes itself, but unfortunately that won’t get my work done. Off to the Apple store! 👩🏼‍💻⁣
⁣
I’ll need some distractions while waiting at the Genius bar... what have you all been baking? Anything from the 52 Weeks?⁣

Week Nine of 52 Weeks of Baking⁣
⁣
Bread is easier to make than you think. You need 4 ingredients to make bread that looks and tastes like it came from a bakery.⁣
⁣
This week on If You Give a Blonde a Kitchen I'm teaching you how to make artisan bread from scratch. Skip the bread maker and the kneading. This recipe is foolproof!⁣
⁣
Learn what yeast to use, why room temperature water is best, plus what herbs and spices you can mix in! Oh and I tested this recipe 4 times in Denver to make sure the high altitude adjustments were perfect 👌🏼⁣
⁣
Find the recipe on the blog and tag @ifyougiveablondeakitchen so I can see your homemade artisan bread!⁣

Happy GALentine’s Day! Who’s celebrating with their girlfriends this week? ⁣

If you and your girl gang are anything like the Golden Girls then cheesecake is a must on a day like Galentine’s. Pour yourself a glass of wine, slice yourself a piece of cheesecake and treat yourself 💕⁣

Find this recipe and more in my stories today. Sending lots of love (and sweets) your way 🥰⁣

FUN FACT: Did you know that I taught myself how to

FUN FACT: Did you know that I taught myself how to bake at high altitude when I moved to Denver last summer?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Moving to Denver was an adventure in itself, but the real challenge baking wise was learning that high altitude can make a HUGE difference in baking (especially cakes and cupcakes).⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Here are a few facts:⁣⁣
• There’s less moisture in the air so dry ingredients are dryer. Recipes need more liquid.⁣⁣
• Lower air pressure means baked goods rise more quickly. Use less leavening agents such as baking powder and baking soda.⁣⁣
• Leavening and evaporation occur more quickly so bake at a higher temperature. As a result, baked goods will be done sooner—lower your total baking time!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I could keep going, but I’ll save more facts for my stories 😉⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I know not all of you are in the Mile High City, but you never know when you’ll find yourself in need of cupcakes while vacationing in the mountains 🧁🏔⁣⁣
⁣⁣
QUESTION: Would you be interested in a high altitude baking guide? Tell me in the comments 👇🏼⁣⁣

Week Five of 52 Weeks of Baking⁣
⁣
Vanilla cupcakes are my go-to treat when I need to bring dessert to a celebration. They work for birthdays, graduations, baby showers, bridal parties and more! ⁣
⁣
Today on @ifyougiveablondeakitchen I’m sharing the ins and outs of cupcakes. What makes them moist? How do you make them fluffy? And high altitude adjustments (I baked these cupcakes 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 in Denver before getting them right!)⁣
⁣
Plus, my favorite buttercream frosting 🤤 I may be working a separate post for the frosting because it’s 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥.⁣
⁣
The full recipe with the video and more is over on the blog. Tag @ifyougiveablondeakitchen so I can see you cupcakes!⁣

Week Four of 52 Weeks of Baking⁣
⁣
This here is a fan favorite (and family favorite and friend favorite and personal favorite... you get the idea). Lemon bars are the citrus dessert you need to brighten you up in the dead of winter 🍋⁣
⁣
Today on @ifyougiveablondeakitchen I’m sharing my adaptation of my mom’s lemon bar recipe. The bars have a soft, but sturdy shortbread crust to carry the gooey and thick lemon filling. ⁣
⁣
The full recipe with the video and more is over on the blog. Tag @ifyougiveablondeakitchen when your friends mark this as your favorite recipe 😉💛⁣
