This life-changer of a recipe isn’t your mom’s banana bread. It’s better. And we’ve got no qualms saying that.

You’re going to want to drizzle, douse, and dribble this fragrant homemade vanilla syrup over and into and onto just about everything.

Elegant enough for company, simple enough for every day, and versatile enough for breakfast and midnight snack and pretty much every moment in between.

Almonds and dark chocolate or peanuts and milk chocolate? Can’t go wrong either way with this classic candy.

Fruitcake brownies? Yup. But not those lurid dried fruits of your childhood. Think dried figs, cranberries, cherries made tipsy with rum or brandy and baked into a brownie pan. Ridiculously inventive.

All that familiar autumnal spice loveliness in perhaps the only pumpkin spice incarnation you’ve yet to try.

Not your ordinary molasses spice cookies, these owe their nice hit of savory to a hit of black pepper. Once you’ve tried these, you may never go back.
