Year's end

The holidays included lots of cooking and baking. Here are a few highlights.

Pom koek, Belgian honey cake: four little loaves. No doubt I've posted this before, but these coffee cakes are so good they deserve another spotlight.

Scalloped potatoes and, in the background, roasted Brussels sprouts. Christmas dinner, along with beef tenderloin.

... and these rather impressive popovers:

So happy it's Friday....

At the insistence of my student and friend Hannah, I'm posting this pic, which she Instagrammed, of a cranberry coffeecake I made. Alas, fresh cranberries are not yet in the store, but dried ones worked out fine. The recipe is from Two Peas and their Pod. Lots of theirs are good.
