Michael's birthday request: British Meat Pie. I used bacon fat for the crust. Best. Crust. Ever.

Bake or Break always has the best recipes. This cream cheese and blueberry coffee cake was no exception.

Another Bake or Break recipe: Pecan Cake. Fabulous. I used Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk and the cake turned out delightfully springy in addition to moist and nutty. Chocolate frosting was optional but delicious.

I picked up some fresh figs from Trader Joe's and tried this fig and olive oil loaf cake from Tracy Shutterbean. It was dense, nutty, and delicious!
