Ever since I can remember, I have had a slight aversion to pancakes. Oddly enough, I think they smell delicious, and look beautiful, and are fun to make… but I just can’t get into actually eating them. Every once and a while, though, the boys in my house will request pancakes. And so, every once [...]

A simple lemon glaze pairs exceptionally well with these slightly sweet, berry-laced muffins. The glaze hardens up nicely too, so they make a perfect take along snack. Bookmark Digg Facebook Reddit Stumble Twitter Subscribe to the comments on this post 2 people like this post. Unlike

This is a simple and delicious recipe I created the other day with what I had on hand (hence the array of flours used). They don’t rise as much as typical scones I have baked in the past, but they are very moist and have a terrific flavor. Bookmark Digg Facebook Reddit Stumble Twitter Subscribe [...]

When I woke up this morning, it was beautiful and sunny and the birds were singing. Yay! There was still two feet of snow on the ground… but the sun gave me a much needed burst of energy. So, rather than the usual bowl of cereal my son is honored with in the morning, I [...]

I have got a lot of Polish in me- in lineage as well as culinary preferences. My mother has blessed me with so many good Polish recipes over the years and had created very fond food memories for me in my childhood. And what she had taught me had been handed down for generations. I [...]

Here is my version of a sticky bun… extra sticky and filled with a surprise. In this recipe I used a “cheese” like filling… but I kind of wish I would have either went with just a basic thick apricot preserve, or nixed the filling entirely. It came out ok, but the filling seemed to [...]

I love lemon and poppy seeds. Combined, they become a wonderful duo that happily work their way into everything from muffins to cookies to cakes. This bread is like a combination of all three- it’s a quick bread/cake hybrid. It doesn’t rise too terribly high, but makes up for its lack of “tall” with an [...]

This strudel is totally savory and uses prepackaged puff pastry to make your life way easier. The Pepperidge Farms puff pastry just happens to be vegan, but obviously that means it is full of unpronounceables (less than I imagined)… but, hey, I’m compromising for time. I don’t think I would serve this to my family [...]

These things are kinda strange… but they are good! The tartness of the blueberries and lemon combined with the bitter-sweetness of the chocolate is pretty unexpected, but I kept going back for more. These would be perfect to make if you are not craving a supersweet cupcake, as they are very close to being a [...]

“Better than sour cream” is used in this traditional style scone recipe. There are many ways to make a great scone without any sour cream-like substance, but I couldn’t resist trying it out. I’m not a huge fan of the substitute, but we had some in the fridge and I was determined to use it [...]
