I have been craving scones for a while now. Honestly, I’m not sure why I didn’t make them sooner.
Yesterday, I got up early with great intentions of making doughnuts for Fasnacht Day. The more I thought about deep frying doughnuts and the inevitable mess that would result, the less inspired I felt. So, I pulled [...]

Cinnamon Stuffed Scones
Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches
As soon as I picked up a copy of the King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking Cookbook, I knew I had to try the Chewy Oatmeal Decorating Cookies recipe. I love to make rolled cutout cookies, but had never tried a recipe with oatmeal. So, with Valentine’s Day coming up, I decided to make some [...]
Cranberry Relish… Not Just for Thanksgiving!
You’re probably thinking that I’ve lost it… “What is she doing posting cranberry relish in February?!”
Well, I’m posting my cranberry relish recipe because it’s a part of one of my favorite #10in10 breakfasts. You see, when I started the #10in10 challenge a few weeks ago, I still had some cranberry relish hanging out in my [...]
Spicy Cocoa Roasted Almonds
I intended to make some honey roasted almonds for Christmas, but I never got around to it. It turns out that my procrastination paid off a bit. About a week ago, I was at the grocery store, and I saw that they had giant tubs of almonds on sale, leftover from the bulk displays at [...]
Apple Filled Pancakes
You are probably looking at this post thinking, “I though she’s participating in the Ten in 10 challenge…” And yes, I am.
Or maybe, “Those pancakes can’t possibly be healthy.” Well, they aren’t nearly as bad as you think! They aren’t the yogurt that I typically eat for breakfast, but these apple filled pancakes are a [...]
Gingerbread Cookies… My Favorite!
For me, it’s just not Christmas without gingerbread cookies… Don’t get me wrong – all of the other cookies are great, but they just aren’t the same!
I’ve been making the same gingerbread recipe since I was a kid and I made these with my mom. They puff up beautifully, making cookies that are soft and great [...]
Pumpkin Spice Cannoli (Daring Bakers November Challenge)
The November 2009 Daring Bakers Challenge was chosen and hosted by Lisa Michele of Parsley, Sage, Desserts and Line Drives. She chose the Italian Pastry, Cannolo (Cannoli is plural), using the cookbooks Lidia’s Italian-American Kitchen by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich and The Sopranos Family Cookbook by Allen Rucker; recipes by Michelle Scicolone, as ingredient/direction guides. She [...]
Last Minute Pumpkin Mousse Dip
If you’re looking for last minute Thanksgiving ideas, I recommend this quick and easy pumpkin dip. It’s not one of my usual “from scratch” recipes, but it’s great in a pinch. It’s one of my favorites, and it is always a big hit.
It can be served with dessert or as a pre-dinner snack. We usually [...]
Friday Favorites – Episode 33
If you were expecting a new Friday Favorites photo this week, I apologize. You would think that I could have found something (anything!) in the thousands and thousands of pictures I have taken, but no. I am having trouble finding a suitable replacement for the current photo. I will keep working on it, though.
Some weeks [...]
Acorn Squash with Cranberry Apple Stuffing
Do you ever start out cooking with one dish in mind but end up making something totally different? Maybe it’s just me.
If you follow my tweets, you may remember that I set out to make stuffed pork chops one evening last week… However, when everything was said and done, the stuffed pork chops turned into [...]
