    • Candied Bacon with Red Chile

      Posted at 10:36 am by NativeNM, on January 19, 2024

      One day I was flipping through the news feed on my phone when I came across a recipe for a thick cut candied bacon sandwich. It looked so good and ever since I’ve been craving one. I didn’t save the article and had to do a bit of research to find a recipe that would hold the flavors that I had in mind. What I found was a great recipe from The Merchant Baker that was easy to prep and very flavorful. I added some red chile flakes to the mix to add some heat which rendered the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. My turkey, bacon and avocado sandwich was so delicious. The candied bacon was a difference maker. You can also elevate any salad with a sprinkle of candied bacon bits. This BLT side salad was so good with bits of candied bacon on top. Whatever you make with your candied bacon, I know it will taste fantastic!

    • Lemon Sweet Rolls

      Posted at 11:07 am by NativeNM, on January 5, 2024

      As you know, sweet rolls are my weakness. And every year for the holidays I try to make a new flavor which at this point is starting to become a challenge as I’ve made so many different versions over the years. These lemon pastries are so light and fresh tasting. They are tart but have just enough sweetness to make them a sweet roll. The cream cheese glaze however is quite sweet and you can add as much as you like to find that sweet spot that you enjoy. They are unlike any roll I’ve ever made in that they taste like sunshine and lemonade. I devoured a few over the holidays and put the rest in the freezer. I individually freeze them so I can pull out just one just when I have a craving. They keep for a couple month’s in the freezer and once thawed they can be microwaved for 20 – 30 seconds and taste just as good as the day they were made. If you love the flavor of citrusy tart lemon with a cream cheese glaze then look no further, these sweet rolls are for you!

    • Pecan Sticky Rolls

      Posted at 9:57 am by NativeNM, on December 29, 2023

      The one holiday treat that I enjoy baking for Christmas is sweet rolls. They are a sweet indulgence that makes me happy. An afternoon sitting in front of the fire with a cup of tea and a sweet roll is the essence of comfort  When I make sweet rolls, I make enough to share with my sister because she loves them just as much as I do. And I don’t post my sweet roll recipes until after the holidays because I make them just a couple days before Christmas so they will be fresh. This year I decided to go back to my childhood for inspiration. Both Kat and I have a vague memory of our mom baking Pecan Sticky Rolls that tasted so incredible. I don’t have any idea how she made them or what recipe she used, but I am going to try and recreate the memory with flavors that I think she would have used to make that pecan caramel syrup. It all begins with brioche dough, which is my go-to sweet dough that never fails. I then tested variations of brown sugar and butter combinations to get just the right amount of sweet buttery caramel flavors. After all the taste testing and decision making was done, it was a triumph to finally bake them. They tasted as good as I had hoped and I think they turned out quite pretty too!
