excuses, excuses…


it seems my last post was ages ago, but realistically just 7 days. my work hours have changed (twice!) in the last week and my body and brain are still adjusting…but, those are mere excuses…and i apologize.


so here, have these nutmeg and blood orange zest sables. i made some maple-nutmeg ice cream to go with…but the maple was just not there or maybe the nutmeg was stealing the show…either way, it tasted flat and that my friends makes me have a sad face. next time though, i promise to crawl out of this funk, have a happy face, a little more enthusiasm…and a recipe.

  1. I hate that feeling of waiting for your body and mind to catch up with your reality! Here’s hoping you get adjusted to your new schedule soon (I’m channeling positive energy). P.S. these sables look awesome! Can’t wait to hear how your maple ice cream adventure turns out.

  2. I am just flat out busy this week, but you know I have to make time to backe something…it’s my only stress reducer.
    I love blood oranges, and hate the fact that I would have to travel far to get them. But these do look really tasty. Are they tangy?

  3. Gorgeous last photo! How do you think a cardamom/pistachio version would turn out? Is it a requirement to have a little citrus in the recipe in order for it to be called a “sable”?
