fantasy friday 11.4.2016 (mostly thanksgiving ideas)

If I had more money, time, and all the butter in the land – here are the things I would be baking this week.  I’ve also thrown in a cocktail of the weekend because fancy drinks make me feel fancy.

• Pumpkin nutella muffins seem like the only right way to start thanksgiving day. I honestly don’t see another option.
• As a mid-morning snack I will have this apple crumb cake. It doesn’t get better than a 1 to 1 ratio of crumb to cake.
• I have an obsession with (the idea of) making my own crackers. Maybe I will finally attempt it with these rosemary parmesan crackers.
• Do I risk the tears and frustration by making this rose apple tart? Probably.
• These towering rich pecan pie brownies are the counterpart to the dainty apple tart above and I’m all about balance.

Cocktail of the weekend

• If your thanksgiving drink isn’t festive you basically aren’t trying. Enter this cranberry cocktail with rosemary simple syrup.

Have a nice weekend!
