Hello again 365 Days of Pinterest Recipes! We're so happy that so many of you are finding the site useful although we haven't been posting in 2016.
Why haven't hou been posting? you ask.
Well, I (Jennings) moved to Nicaragua in January, where we own and run a hotel. Ryan and her husband are currently traveling around the US in a half-year work/play trip. So while we've been cooking (of course!), we've been a bit busy!
Recently, however, I've been getting a lot of requests for the recipes I use at the hotel and in my cottage-industry business, The Accidental Bakery. So what better place to start sharing those than here?!

There is a big difference between cooking here in the tropics, where there is no air conditioning and most of living is outside and with open windows. For instance, we don't ever have "soft butter," except for perhaps a 2 minute window. We have frozen butter and melted butter...
Because we offer freshly baked goods daily at the hotel, I've had to adapt to both the conditions, and the available ingredients. And the equipment, either bringing things in from the States or going without a lot of items of cookware that we take for granted in the First World (or Developed countries, or whatever we're supposed to call them now!). Fortunatelt, while you can't bake like back home here, you CAN bake like here back home. And honestly, it's easier...

Once a week or so, I'll be posting a recipe for you, from the Accidental Baker's playlist. At El Pacifico Hotel, I made more than a dozen kinds of muffins, cinnamon rolls, cake and yeast donuts, scones, biscuits, and various kinds of rolls. I'm always working on something new, too. When you bake literally every single day, 2-3 different items each day, you have to keep the creativity flowing or it gets dead boring!
I'll also post the best gluten free muffin recipes, which all freeze really well. Not all baked goods translate easily to gluten free, but the ones that do are delicious! I love when we have gluten free guests that I can share fresh baked goods with.
