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…

chocolate hazelnut nutella muffins
I decided to keep things simple, as a muffin recipe should be. So that’s the rationale for keeping this blog post short too. You know what to do when mixing a muffin recipe. You mix the wet and the dry separately, then combine them. Easy-peasy, right? 🙂 Plus, even when I messed up prior workings…

walnut squash muffins
These are delicata squash muffins, but you can substitute any other roasted squash for this.

I think it’s probably in response to the complicated world we now live in, and a yearning for simple and homey things that remind me of a simpler time. This was a recipe I tried several years ago, and this time I…

guava poppy seed heart cake
Happy February! Ben and I are just hanging out watching Superbowl LII (I had to look that up; Ben’s the real football fan. I mainly watch it for the commercials!) and baking and cooking. I’m the baker, Ben’s the cook. Ben is making dinner plus some make-ahead food for the week, and he’s boiling something, I…

roasted strawberry rye bread
No, this isn’t meatloaf. But it kind of looks like meatloaf though, doesn’t it? Haha! All it needs is a side of mash potatoes and a ketchup bottle next to it. Sheesh. Lordy. I’m pretending not to worry, but it kind of worries me a little. Just a little. I’m basically borrowing from two recipes here,…

cardamom lemon pear loaf
I read a self help book a long time ago that suggested that when one is depressed or sad, to stick to a routine as much as possible. That’s what I’ve been doing. And so this morning was no different that any other Saturday morning. I made coffee, listened to the news on the radio,…
