I don't watch TV a lot. Wait-let me rephrase that- I don't watch the TV I choose a lot. When my dad doesn't have the remote, my brother does. And when he doesn't have it (which is almost never), mom gets it. So, I hardly ever get to chose what to watch. That's why when I was actually alone downstairs the other day, I was a little unsure what to do and eventually put on an episode of "The Great Brittish Baking Show". This episode in particular featured meringue cakes- which I'd never heard of in my life. But I've made meringues several times before, and I LOVE them, which inspired me to try colored meringues with a piping tip for the first time! To be honest, I was a little skeptical after it took waaaay longer than I'd remembered getting the batter to stiff peaks, but once I' finally got there, dyed half the batter pink, piped them out and popped em' in the oven, I was so ready to go! They turned out AMAZING and within a day of making them, the entire plate was gone. I used this recipe from Sugar Spun Run- one I will definitely be using again! Its kind of hard to believe that a recipe with such basic ingredients is so unbelievably amazing!
Sourdough Discard Wild Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping (a love letter to not wasting discard and also to eating muffins at all hours of the day)
My beautiful friends, I know you all know that I’ve been in my Sourdough Era …for the last 15 years. But who’s counting? Certainly not me as I stand over my jar of starter like a Victorian widow, whispering, “I’ll never throw you away…” while absolutely considering throwing it away. Because listen—using sourdough discard has become a full-blown mission. I cannot toss it without a small, emotional spiral. It feels wasteful. It feels wrong. It feels like my starter is judging me. (And honestly? She probably is.) Enter these beauties. These Sourdough Discard Wild Blueberry Muffins are the perfect way to usher in spring and use up that discard sitting in your fridge, silently demanding purpose. They’re soft, tender, lightly tangy, and absolutely bursting with blueberries—topped with a buttery streusel that makes you feel like you have your life together (even if you absolutely do not). And let’s talk about the “wild blueberry” situation. For those of us who do not casually stroll out...
