Pastrami Bagel Breakfast Sandwich// Toasted bagel with melty cheese, delicious sauce and pastrami! I’m still thinking about this amazing sandwich I had at @thefeedfeed ‘s @landolakesktchn brunch party! I didn’t even know I liked pastrami, but I’m going to have to recreate this! #feedfeed #landolakes #ad

Roasted squash soup in my favorite autumnal bowls//So glad that it’s cool and starting to feel like fall, so I’m sharing one of my favorite soups! I went crazy with the toppings— I love how they add texture to cream soups! Recipe here: https://www.foodieinnewyork.com/home-main/2016/10/roasted-acorn-butternut-squash-soup

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with pomegranate seeds & kumquats// These charred Brussels sprouts pair perfectly with the sweet bursts from Pom seeds. And kumquats are the perfect surprising twist to this autumnal veggie dish. #FallVeggies #BrusselsSprouts

Pumpkin Pancakes with Sautéed Apples and Maple Syrup 🥞// These pancakes have pumpkin purée mixed into the batter along with your favorite fall spices. They are delicious on their own but the sautéed apples and maple syrup is the perfect combo. ALSO, welcome to all of my new followers! Click the link in my bio @foodieinnewyork to learn a little more about me and the crazy journey I’ve been on since winning the Great American Baking Show! Have an awesome Sunday!

Hi everyone! I’m taking over @epicurious IG today, so follow along as I share some of my favorite baked treats! Photo of me in my home kitchen captured by @ichristianrodriguez 📸

Pumpkin Chocolate Swirl Bread// It’s finally October and time for all things pumpkin! This pumpkin chocolate swirl bread is one of my faves. It’s easy and fun to make and is oh-so festive! Recipe is on the blog: www.foodieinnewyork.com/home-main/2016/10/pumpkin-chocolate-swirl-bread

Cherry almond tea cakes 🍒 // Tea cakes made with almond flour, baked with whole cherries inside. I baked these in a mini muffin tray— the perfect size! It’s finally starting to feel like fall here in the city, so I’m savoring these last fruits of summer! Recipe is on the blog here: https://www.foodieinnewyork.com/home-main/2016/07/cherry-almond-tea-cakes

Think baking in front of cameras is hard? Try looking up and seeing @paul.hollywood intently staring at you!
It’s crazy to think that we were filming 🎥 the wildest competition of our lives just a year ago. This picture is from the signature challenge in the semi-finals. I made plum-frangipane tarts. The showstopper was making an opera cake in 2.5 hours!! This was the hardest challenge of the entire season for me, and no one was more surprised than me when @ayeshacurry called my name as one of the 3 finalists! (Shout out to the other finalists @kookiehouse and @cookiesanddreams60)

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls// First of all, I have some new followers so I wanted to say hello and thanks for following along! Also thanks to @grubstreet & @e_zar for profiling me & Deb for sharing my story in the @smittenkitchen newsletter. Now about these cinnamon rolls... I’m currently testing cinnamon roll recipes so I wanted to share this pic! Do you guys prefer icing on cinnamon rolls, or au naturel?

It’s a beautiful fall morning here in the Hudson Valley (53 degrees!) 🍂🍁. I’m at the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest and we’re sampling some awesome pesto flavors— if you’re in the area stop by the @filippoberio_us tent and say hi!
