October 16 | When on Vacation
Dear Diary,
One thing about me... if we’re traveling, I’m finding a bakery. 🧁
On our road trip from Colorado to El Paso, we stopped in Albuquerque and visited a couple of local bakeries. My husband got to enjoy some traditional local treats (Apple Green Chile Strudel and Pan de Mu**to , while I tracked down a dedicated gluten-free bakery called Off the Wheaten Path.
I left with a Butterfinger brownie, a blackberry almond tart, and a pecan bread pudding. The tart was definitely the winner, the brownie was tasty but needed more butterfinger, and the bread pudding just wasn’t my favorite.
Honestly, finding a new bakery, trying a few treats, and bringing home a little inspiration for future bakes makes for a pretty great vacation stop. ❤️✨🍂

October 16 | When on Vacation

Dear Diary,
Everyone has their thing when they travel. As a foodie, mine is exploring local cuisine, especially bakeries. I always seek out gluten-free bakeries when I can, but I also enjoy visiting traditional bakeries for inspiration, even if I can't indulge myself.

This week, we traveled from Colorado to El Paso, with an overnight stop in Albuquerque. While exploring historic Albuquerque, we visited Abuelita’s Old Town Bakery. Everything looked delicious, but unfortunately it all contained gluten. We picked up two local treats for my husband, Pan de Mu**to and an Apple Chile Strudel, and according to him, both were amazing and worth recreating at home.

While there, we were told about a dedicated gluten-free and dairy-free bakery called Off the Wheaten Path. The building and presentation itself wasn't much to look at, but the variety more than made up for it. From donuts and cookies to brownies and pies, narrowing down my choices was no easy task.

I finally settled on a Butterfinger brownie, a blackberry almond tart, and a pecan bread pudding. The tart was my favorite, the brownie was delicious but could have used a little more Butterfinger flavor, and the bread pudding wasn't quite for me. Two out of three is a win in my book, and I'd happily stop by again if I'm ever in the area.

Until next time,
Keturah

October 15 | Frozen ❄️💜💙

Dear Diary,

Today felt like a little trip to a snowy kingdom.

✨ This Frozen-inspired vanilla cake was made with three colorful layers: teal, purple, and classic vanilla. Inside was pure magic, but the decorations stole the show.

Sparkling isomalt ice crystals, candy melt snowflakes, and snow made from crushed wafer paper transformed this cake into a winter wonderland. ❄️👑✨

Sometimes the most fun part of cake decorating is turning sugar into something that feels straight out of a fairytale. 💙
❄️💜💙✨🎂👑

October 14 | Birthday Celebration

Dear Diary,

This past weekend was all about celebrating another trip around the sun, and my heart is still so full.

Friday night kicked things off with dinner and an escape room adventure with friends. There was plenty of laughter, teamwork, and just enough chaos to make it memorable. Saturday brought more celebrating with family and friends over dinner, filling the evening with good conversations and even better company.
By Sunday, I was ready for a slower pace. I spent the day with my kids, my mom, and my husband enjoying some friendly mini golf competition, board games, and a delicious dinner prepared by my husband. It was one of those simple days that ends up meaning the most.

Of course, no birthday weekend would be complete without cake. I made a gluten-free almond cake layered with frangipane and mascarpone cream filling, then finished it with a light whipped cream frosting and toasted almonds. It was delicious the night we enjoyed it, but somehow it managed to be even better the next day. You know a cake is special when the leftovers are just as exciting as the first slice.

As the candles were blown out and the weekend came to a close, I found myself feeling incredibly grateful. For the people around my table, the memories we made, and another year filled with love, laughter, and plenty of homemade desserts.
Until next time,
Keturah ✨🎂🤍

October 8 | Dear Diary

There’s just something about making bread that is so satisfying.

This bake, was artisan bread. Just a few ingredients tranformed by time, patience, and a pair of flour-covered hands. Watching the dough rise, shaping each loaf, the excitement of when it comes out of the oven and looks like it should, and hearing that first crackle as it cools never gets old.

Bread isn’t just something I bake. it’s something I’m drawn to, again and again. A quiet reminder that the beat things often take time.

Until next time, Keturah

October 7 | Nutella Morning Buns

Dear Diary,

Last week’s bake of Nutella Sticky buns, made the entire house smell like buttery pastry, warm cinnamon, and chocolate-hazelnut. The hardest part wasn’t making them…it was waiting for them to cool so my family could enjoy.

Cheers, Keturah

October 6 | Apple C***r Whoopie Pie

Dear Diary,

Two Saturday’s ago, I made Apple C***r Whoopie Pies, filled with all the cozy flavors of fall. Soft, spiced cake sandwiched around a creamy filling, made with care and a little extra love.

These treats weren’t heading to a kitchen table. They were donated to Colorado Friendship for their program meals on the streets. As much as I love creating sweet treats, knowing these whoopie pies could bring a small amount of comfort to someone else’s day made this bake even more meaningful.

Sometimes the best recipes aren’t just about the ingredients. They’re about sharing kindness, spreading joy, and giving back to the community one homemade treat at a time. ❤️🍎

Until next time, Keturah

🍂October 1 | Yummy Pumpkin 🎃

Dear Diary,

This bake brought pure autumn into the kitchen - the kind that wraps itself around you with the smell of warm pumpkin and oats. These Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies were everything I hoped for. Browning the butter gave them that subtle nutty depth, the kind that makes you pause for a moment just to appreciate it. And once they cooled, I finished each one with a silky brown-butter icing that made them downright irresistible.

They were delicious…but now I’m wondering: should I have added raisins? Maybe they wouldn’t given that little pop of sweetness. Or maybe the cookies were perfect just as they were. I’m still deciding.

But tell me….would you add raisins?

Cheers, Keturah
