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 [...]

Molasses Oatmeal Bread
I’ve been gradually adding some new homemade bread recipes to my baking repertoire. I’m definitely not the master bread baker that my mom is, but I have been getting better about making my own bread instead of buying it. I find that it’s difficult to find good quality breads at my local grocery store (most [...]
Pumpkin Cranberry Apple Baked Oatmeal
We had a few chilly mornings last week which got me thinking about baked oatmeal. It’s kind of strange that I immediately wanted baked oatmeal, though, because I’ve never been much of an oatmeal eater – baked or not. It just sounded like a nice warm treat after my early morning walks with our yellow [...]

Friday Favorites – Episode 28

Cranberry Coconut Granola Bars
I may never buy a store-bought granola bar ever again. Seriously.
This month’s Pre-Made Our Way Challenge was to make homemade granola bars. I enjoy the PMOW challenge each month because it’s fairly relaxed – no strict rules, recipe variations allowed, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the Daring Bakers, too (more about that [...]
Chewy Coconut Lime Cookies
I have finally completed my recipe for Mission: Lime – this week’s Blogger Secret Ingredient challenge! I was back and forth on what to make. My original intention was to make something savory and spicy. However, sickness got the best of me. Instead, I decided to make a batch of cookies. I have had coconut in [...]
Cherry Rhubarb Crisp
It seems that rhubarb and strawberries are one of those food pairings that you see over and over again – like cilantro and lime, or tomato and basil. I like strawberries and rhubarb quite a bit, in fact. So, you may be wondering why this is a cherry rhubarb crisp instead of a strawberry rhubarb crisp.
