Pear-Walnut Muffins with Vanilla Bean-Ginger Streusel: Simultaneously airy and decadent, these pear-walnut muffins are the perfect treat for a cool morning. The vanilla bean in the streusel softens the punch of the ginger to give a rich sweetness with a mellow bite.

Chorizo Hand Pies: If you like a little kick, then these Chorizo Hand Pies for you. Buttery piecrust and fontina flawlessly balance out the well-seasoned chorizo—a pork sausage used in many Mexican and Iberian dishes. We used a Mexican version, which is fresh pork that is highly seasoned and still raw when purchased. Go ahead. Spice things up!
