Season’s Greetings! With the holiday season in full swing, I thought I’d take a few moments to share my thoughts on the past year. 2012 has been a busy and exciting year for me, and many of you have been by my side along the way. This year more than ever, I have felt much love from…
I have always loved baking in the mornings, especially in the colder months of the year. There’s just something about heating up the oven on a chilly morning and baking something for breakfast in my PJs. Since Miss Madison arrived, though, I haven’t been doing as much early morning baking. Morning baking has been replaced with…
This blog post was supposed to be a recipe for a fabulous pumpkin cheesecake with a luscious apple topping. I had it all planned out and spent my precious free time one evening baking the cheesecake. I was careful not to over-mix the filling and I let it cool in the oven for two hours…
I cannot believe that October is over already. Between waiting for our little baby to arrive and then adjusting to life with a newborn in the house (and, we’re still working on that part!), October just breezed right on by. November is here, and it’s time for a new Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! In the last week or…
Christmas is just a few short days away. Hopefully by now you’ve baked most of your Christmas cookies, finished wrapping gifts, and made plans with friends and relatives. So, instead of writing a Friday Favorites post with some last minute recipe ideas, I decided to let Yellowdog take over today. She’s been dying to show…
Still looking for a last minute homemade gift idea? I’ve got you covered! Ever since I tried making these chocolate marshmallow bunnies from A Farmgirl’s Dabbles for Easter, I’ve wanted to make them again. If you’re tried making homemade marshmallows before, you know what I’m talking about. And, if you haven’t made homemade marshmallows, take…
I have always found it funny that everyone in central Pennsylvania runs to the grocery store to stockpile bread, milk, and eggs before a snow storm. It’s somewhat ridiculous, because it’s very rare that we get snowed in for more than a day or two… I’m pretty sure a gallon of milk and one carton of eggs…
Have you finished all of your Christmas shopping yet? I think I may actually be done… I have a gift card or two to pick up at the store next week, but that doesn’t really count, right? It’s a good thing that I have my shopping done, because now I have lots of baking to…
Something about the holidays always gets me in a decorating mood. I love it all, from decorating the Christmas tree and the house to decorating cookies and cakes… But, as you might have guessed, I especially love the cookies and cakes! A few weeks ago, I shared my simple method and recipe for royal icing,…
This week, I’m focusing on recipes to help you along with your holiday baking… Baking really is the best part of the holidays, isn’t it? Yesterday I shared a favorite new cookie recipe with you. Today, I thought we’d talk about another sweet treat as a part of my baking series with Red Star Yeast……
