The weekend always proves that I love weekdays so much more!! I get to create yummies and revise recipes that I learn to ♥ later. Today I have had the privilege of creating fantastic buttermilk biscuits and granola.
Since I haven't attempted a truly gorgeous biscuit since Lavallee's lab at JWU, I thought it high time to expand my pastry innocence and attempt a nemesis...and strangely enough, I have NO IDEA why biscuits ever became a said nemesis!! Super easy and they turned out beautiful and delicious...perfect companion to use with my "A la King" version dinner I am making this evening!
The granola also happens to be extremely fantastic! I found a generic recipe, to get an idea of what ingredients/ratios I needed and just went to town. I recently bought brown rice syrup at Sunflower Market and substituted that for honey (thumbs up, by the way)...also, I used Daz Bog coffee beans and cacao nibs instead of nuts and seeds. I did, however, incorporate a generous helping of flax seed into the mix so the granola seems healthier :)...Espresso Nib Granola is AMAZING ♥
My pastry-ness has been exercised for today so I am off...passport photos and applications to follow!! I am super excited for the trip of a lifetime in JUNE♥♥♥

- PastryCHIC
- I am a graduate of Johnson & Wales University with an AS in Baking & Pastry Arts. I have been in the pastry business since 2005, but dabbled as an aspiring home pastry cook since I was barely tall enough to see the counter tops...I am thankful my mom included me in the numerous chocolate chip cookie baking excursions, without it I probably would be something with much less creative freedom ♥
