Accidents are par for the course when you’re working in the kitchen. Pasta boils over, sauces curdle, cake sticks to the pan. Fortunately, if you’ve spent years recreating recipes, you learn to improvise when things don’t go as planned.

Raspberry Ricotta Sticky Buns

I made them over the Fourth of July weekend for a family get-together but have been waiting to share the recipe until they made their debut on Pottery Barn’s Inside & Out blog. That’s right.

Raspberry Coconut Whole Wheat Waffles
Apparently, I’ve been on a raspberry and coconut kick. First, I made raspberry coconut cookie granola, and then, without realizing it, I made whole wheat waffles featuring the same two flavors. I guess it’s no surprise – the ingredients complement each other quite nicely….
