• apple muffins

  

  Happy New Year! It’s okay to still be saying that, right? It’s like saying “good morning” at 11:45 AM! I feel like posting one’s first blog post of the year in late January is sort of like the equivalent of being the last person in your neighborhood to take down your Christmas decorations! Oh well, […]

• blueberry streusel bagels

  

  While making the components for these, I really wasn’t sure how they’d turn out, or even if they’d turn out. But in the end, it all came together, and it was all worth it. I have to warn you though. You need to make a concentrated blueberry paste by slowly cooking 2 cups worth of […]

• chicken and waffles

  

  You may or may not notice that this is a recipe is from a blog post I did several years ago. For about a year, I’ve been wanting to do spot checks on my blog posts to make sure the recipes were not only written correctly, but also whether I’d make any changes to them. […]

• bread pudding muffins

  

  How much do I love these? Let me count the ways… I know I often start out a blog post saying that whatever I made turned out really good or better than what I was expecting, but for these bread pudding muffins, it’s TRUE! 😀 I think it’s because I made sure to do the […]

• banana rum cake

  

  Good Morning! Ben and I are celebrating one of our anniversaries! Today is the anniversary of the day we met, sixteen years ago! Crazy, huh? Even though we also have a wedding anniversary every June and usually do not have big celebrations with either, this one feels more special to us. I think because for […]

• citrus blueberry muffins

  

  I based the recipe on a basic muffin recipe from The Art and Soul of Baking by Cindy Mushet, but decided I didn’t want dairy or have enough dairy anyway, so instead just used extra virgin olive oil and some oat milk instead of butter and regular milk. I also decreased the sugar in the […]

• sausage cheese biscuits

  

  I feel like we always have some random piece of meat or meat product in the freezer begging us to be used or to just throw away already. Recently we had to sort out stuff in our small freezer, and we came across some “pork sausage breakfast rolls”, which I found odd, because when I […]

• fresh pineapple cake

  

  After about a week of just sitting on our kitchen counter taking space, I finally found a great recipe for the fresh pineapple that Ben received from work. Due to the pandemic, they were shutting down the kitchens and needed to donate the pineapple or just throw it out. I’m glad we were able to […]
