  • Giant Soft Whole Wheat Pretzels

    My second saved recipe is a really exciting one.  SOFT PRETZELS!!!!! They have arrived. I may get a little loud about it. I am yet to meet someone who dislikes a nice giant soft pretzel.  I’m not sure that’s the kind of person I want to meet. But did you know they’re pretty easy to…

  • Famous Apple Hill Apple Cake

    I’m posting one of my all-time favorite recipes today! The battle between this apple cake and an apple pie for Apple Week was brutal.  A classic apple cake recipe from Apple Hill itself, which is published every year in their little map-tour booklet vs. the most iconic apple dessert of all time (in America anyway)?!?!…

  • Fig, Basil & Onion Muffins

    Sweet and savory little muffins have arrived!  A fantastic unusual treat, these are an any-time-of-day snack.  Great and nutritious for breakfast, fantastic for lunch next to a salad, or have them in place of rolls with dinner!   Love them!

  • Coffee-Glazed Baked Doughnuts

      I just got what must be one of the best hand-me-downs ever: my dad’s old school baked doughnut maker! Meet Dazey:     Have you seen those little doughnut makers (and pie, cake pop, cupcake, whoopie pie, etc. makers) popping up all over the place?  Well that is certainly not a new invention! Dazey…

  • Fig & Pear Crostata

    I bought a lovely bag of mixed pears at the grocery store last week, and for some reason I am just not eating them!  My response to a situation like this is easy: pie!

  • Amaretto Cake

      Another weird food holiday (my first was National Blueberry Pancake Day): it’s National Almond Day! Yippeee!  I love love love almonds.  And since it was my birthday last week, and my birthday dessert was a tempura banana (no complaining here, it was delicious), I thought I should make myself an amaretto cake – two…

  • Zucchini Bread

    Zucchini bread has arrived!  I’m so excited about this recipe.  I love zucchini bread, but my old recipe was absolutely loaded with oil and sugar.  So I removed as much as I could without turning my beloved zucchini bread into cardboard.
