Ingredients For Strawberry Rose Donuts:

For the Donuts

  • 2 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup softened, salted butter (like the salted Minerva Dairy butter)
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp rose water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cup freeze dried strawberries

For the Strawberry Glaze

  • 2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp pureed strawberries

Instructions:

For the Donuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. First start by creaming 1/2 cup of softened, salted butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar together in a medium sized bowl.
  3. Then add in 2 eggs, 1 tsp of vanilla and 1/4 tsp of rose water and combine.
  4. Mix in 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of milk. Set aside.
  5. In a small bowl mix 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 tsp of baking soda, 1 tsp of baking powder and 1/4 tsp of salt together.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time until all is incorporated together.
  7. Grind 1 1/2 cups of freeze-dried strawberries. Sift them into the batter and mix until all is combined.
  8. Transfer the donut batter into a piping bag fitted with a large tip. Pipe the batter into a greased donut pan, 3/4 of the way full. Bake the donuts at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  9. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack to completely cool.

For the Strawberry Glaze

  1. While they are cooling make the icing by pureeing a few strawberries, enough to make 2-3 tbsp of puree.
  2. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar in a bowl and add 2 tbsp of the strawberry puree. Mix until all the powdered sugar is dissolved. If it is too dry add a little bit more of the strawberry puree. It should be a very thick icing.
  3. Dip each donut in the glaze. Sprinkle each donut with crushed freeze-dried strawberries if you desire. Let the glaze set and then serve!

Cheesy Garlic Roasted Asparagus

Nothing says spring like asparagus, and we are always down to cover any and every vegetable in cheese. This savory and cheesy combination takes about 20 minutes in the oven. (via Brit + Co.)

Eggs In a Blanket on Cauliflower Crust

Everyone has that friend or family member who always seems to be on a diet. This particular recipe fits the bill for gluten-free, keto, and low-carb diets, and yet it's full of flavor. What more could they want? (viaCali'Flour Kitchen by Amy Lacey / Brit + Co.)

Vegan Lemon Scones

These fluffy and flavorful scones will also make your kitchen smell amazing, and they take less than 30 minutes to bake. Pair with a cup of tea or your go-to iced coffee recipe. (via Brit + Co.)

Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake

Blood oranges bring forth deep flavor notes in this loaf recipe. The best part is the orangey glaze that coats a super moist cake layer.(via Cozy Cravings)

Sweet and Spicy Candied Bacon

What's brunch without bacon? Coconut sugar, espresso powder, and pumpkin spice turn it into something truly magical. (via Brit + Co.)

Bacon and Cheese Egg Clouds

These little puffs make portioning for a crowd easy-peasy. Plus, adding some cheese on top might be the secret to getting picky eaters to chow down. (via Brit + Co.)

Sweet Potato Toast Crows' Nest

Add more spring color to your plate with sweet potato toast. Dress up yours however you like; we love the idea of an egg cracked into the center, then pan-seared until the whites set. It's a great low-carb egg-in-a-hole alternative! (via Brit + Co.)

Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs

It isn’t Easter without a plate full of deviled eggs. These look fancy AF, but they only take minutes to assemble. Not a fan of smoked salmon? Just sprinkle on some paprika instead. (via Brit + Co.)

Green Goddess Salad

Boost your meal with a healthy salad full of greens. This recipe doesn't have to be *too* healthy, however, so feel free to sprinkle on some extra Parmesan cheese ;). (via Brit + Co.)

Cocktails and Drinks For Easter Brunch

Frozen Brunch Punch

The first thing you want to do at Easter brunch is have a fresh, cold sip waiting for you. Pair this frozen punch with your waffles for the best time! (via Half Baked Harvest)

Bloody Mary Bar

Party-goers will sip and snack happily with a fully loaded drink, complete with pickled veg, bacon, and more noshable goodies. Hot sauce optional but encouraged. (via Brit + Co.)

Strawberry and Rhubard Bellinis

We're all about strawberry recipes once the weather starts warming up, and this fruity drink is one of our faves. It'll take you under 10 minutes to whip up, and then you can go back to prepping that Easter ham. (via Brit + Co.)

Screwdriver

This cocktail is as simple as mixing vodka and orange juice together. You could reach for the store-bought juice, but we recommend squeezing your own, like in this recipe. (via Give Recipe)

Best Mimosa Recipe

Just revel in that drink presentation! With just OJ and sparkling wine, you've got yourself a friendly sipper. (via Two Spoons)

Peach Bellinis

An iconic trio of peaches, triple sec, and champagne assemble to create the sweetest Easter cocktail you've ever had. The fresh fruit really embraces the spring season, so find the best peaches you can! (via Barley & Sage)

This Is The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe For Valentine's Day, Or Any Day

Whether you're spending Valentine's Day with your sweetie, hosting a Galentine's brunch for your gal pals, or basking in love with your fam, there's no question that a fancy dessert helps set the tone for a cozy and love-filled night in. We personally love cooking pasta recipes followed by a succulent dessert, but the menu options for Love Day run the gamut from seafood to international cuisine.

One thing that's not optional is chocolate — known to promote feelings similar to being in love or spending time with those closest to you, chocolate is one of the best flavors for Valentine's Day desserts. Combined with red wine and seasonal pear, it makes for a simply decadent treat — hence, this Red Wine Pear Cake. Trust us: This is going to be the best chocolate cake recipe you have ever tried.

Red Wine Pear Cake With Chocolate Ganache

Sarah Anderson

Ingredients:

Pears

  • 3-4 firm Bosc pears
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups red wine
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3-4 whole cloves or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Cake

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 11 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon pink salt
  • 1/2 cup 85% dark chocolate chips or bar broken into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup gluten-free or regular all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Ganache

  • 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk or heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons reserved spiced wine (see recipe notes)

Sarah Anderson

Directions:

  1. Peel the skin off the pears and remove the stems, seeds, and core. Slice in half. Add water, red wine, cinnamon, and cloves into a saucepan and place the pears in the liquid. Bring the wine mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 20 minutes, until the pears are tender. Remove the pears from red wine and let cool. Continue simmering until sauce is reduced, and reserve 2 tablespoons for the chocolate ganache.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Grease two 9-inch springform cake pans with butter or oil and set aside.
  4. Whisk two eggs in a separate bowl and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, add the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar and whisk thoroughly. Let sit for at least 5 minutes.
  6. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Whisk in the coconut sugar then remove from heat and add in the red wine and salt until well mixed. Quickly add in the dark chocolate pieces and stir constantly until the chocolate is melted. Pour the vanilla extract in and whisk again.
  7. Add about one third of the chocolate mixture to the whisked eggs. Mix thoroughly and then pour back into a mixing bowl with the rest of the chocolate mixture.
  8. Add in coconut milk mixture, cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until well combined.
  9. Pour the cake batter into two greased cake pans.
  10. Slice wine-poached pear halves in quarters and place in your desired design on top of the cake batter in the cake pans.
  11. Bake the cakes for 20-30 minutes.
  12. While cakes are baking, add the dark chocolate and coconut milk or heavy cream to a small saucepan. Heat on low until the chocolate is melted, whisking so that it is well mixed. Add in the reserved wine sauce and whisk again. Remove from heat and set aside.
  13. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely before removing them from the springform pans. Place one cake on a cake platter or stand, and drizzle some chocolate ganache on top. Then place the second cake on top of the first and pour the remaining chocolate ganache over the top.

Brandon Sklenar Looks GOOD In New '1923' Season 2 Trailer

1923 fans are excited for season 2 for a variety of reasons. Not only does it promise to answer our biggest questions from the end of season 1, but I can't wait to see Jacob and Cara Dutton (Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren) totally kick Banner Creighton's butt. They're waiting for Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) to return to Montana to help them, and the new 1923 season 2 trailer proves there's literally nobody else who can do the job. Not that I had any doubt.

Here's what to expect from 1923 season 2 (aside from a super hot Brandon Sklenar).

The new '1923' season 2 trailer shows off Spencer's journey — and Alex's.

So far, Paramount's been teasing Spencer's journey across the country to reach his family, but this is the best look we've gotten at just how difficult his travels are. Not only is he making his way across state lines with no car and no horse, he's on his own AND he's racing against time as the Duttons fight off Banner and Whitfield at the ranch. I am STRESSED, y'all. (Although I have to admit, he looks dang good doing it.)

We finally get a glimpse of what Alex's next chapter looks like too, as she's left alone on the ship after Spencer gets kicked off. Storms are to be expected, but based on the figure who grabs her from behind, it looks like she could be in some serious danger from a fellow passenger. But even the sketchiest of situations isn't stopping this woman from finding Spencer again.

Every moment matters because in '1923,' "everything has meaning."

“Taylor [Sheridan] called us and said, ‘You have to look at every scene and imagine that it could be the most important scene of the episode, even if it’s just you walking from point A to point B,'” actress Julia Schlaepfer told The Hollywood Reporterin May 2023. “Everything has meaning.”

“I would love for Alex to make it to the ranch and meet the family,” she continued. “I hope we get to see some of her own strength come out now that she’s on her own. I want to meet the Dutton women. I think that that would be a lot of fun — and Teonna, we all want to meet Teonna.”

Every moment, and every relationship, makes 1923 stand out against this year's other TV shows, and Brandon Sklenar is "confident" that 1923 season 2 "is going to be absolutely incredible," he told Forbes. “The tone shifts a lot and it’s definitely a bit darker. It’s very beautiful.”

1923 season 2 premieres on Paramount+ February 16 and stars Julia Schlaepfer, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Brandon Sklenar, Michelle Randolph, Darren Mann, Jerome Flynn, Aminah Nieves, and Isabel May. Stay tuned for the latest news!

I can't wait to reunite with the Duttons — and for Spencer and Alex to reunite with each other. Duh! Check out Every Character Returning For 1923 Season 2 while you wait for the new episodes.
