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.

Orange Poppyseed Scones
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.
Blackberry Cobbler Muffins
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 made him these muffins. He was thrilled to have anything other than cereal and ate 4 of them! I’m not super good in the kitchen before I have had a ton of coffee… but these turned out really well.
One tip- use silicon muffin pans, grease and flour your pan, or use some really good muffin liners. I used craptastic paper liners this morning and they sorta stuck- just a little bit. :(
Given that it was so early… I’m lucky to have remembered to line the cups at all. The muffins were delicious, though. They were a tad tangy and slightly sweet. And full of crumble topping! Oh, how I love crumble topping. <3
Platskis (Polish for Latkes)
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 think one of the great talents many of our family members posses is the ability to make countless dishes with a bag of potatoes. These little potato patties are called platskis, and this weekend I went to work in the kitchen with my mother to re-create our family recipe to be animal friendly. They turned out deliciously.
I hope you enjoy these simple potato cakes as much as my whole entire extended family does. And, let me assure you, there are a LOT of us.
Ziemniaki!
Mushroom and Spinach Strudel
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 on a regular basis, (maybe annually?) but I had some puff pastry in the freezer and, of course, mushrooms in the fridge. I did spare some of the fat by sauteeing the veggies in broth, but the puff pastry trumps any good deeds done.
I did try, though, and I think that’s what counts.
Enjoy!
Glazed Cinnamon Raisin Scones
“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 as something besides a burrito topper. Bakes just like the real thing.
