• zucchini bread

  

  I’m sorry I haven’t been around to see and like of all your amazing blog posts! The last 3 or 4 months, I’ve been spending a lot of time painting. This zucchini bread only happened because we had received a gift of zucchini from someone who had a lot of zucchini to give. The end […]

• banana cream pie

  

  This came about simply because I wanted to try out a Nilla Wafer crust and also had a couple of bananas to spare that weren’t overripe. You want to use bananas that are just ripe, the kind you would normally eat as is, and not the kind of overripe bananas you would use for banana […]

• (buns for) fish sandwich sliders

  

  This is not a copycat recipe for the Filet-O-Fish, nor is it even a complete recipe for a homemade version of the famous fish sandwich, since I didn’t specify too much detail on how I bread and fry the fish fillets, nor did I offer a specific ingredient list for homemade tartar sauce that approximates […]

• mexican cheese bread

  

  Before I get into this, I have to tell you upfront that this isn’t an authentic Mexican recipe at all. What qualifies it to be called Mexican Cheese Bread is simply that you use some ingredients from Mexico. If you can’t find them, use the substitutes specified below, it will still be good. I have […]

• birthday biscotti

  

  This is a recipe for biscotti that is adaptable for other add ins. I simply wanted to celebrate my **th birthday, so I thought adding 1/4 cup of sprinkles would do the trick. I also added slightly less sugar because I felt the sprinkles might actually contribute to the sweetness. Funfetti Biscotti. Enjoy! Happy Birthday […]

• pig biscotti (pigscotti)

  

  Greetings! Happy Almost Spring! I love this time of year, mainly because the weather is really mild here in the Pacific Northwest; the heat is not here yet, but the days are not too short, either. I had just a handful of hazelnuts left (I seem to always have just a handful of them left, […]

It worked out great! ricotta dinner rolls  ingredients  2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 and […]
