My kitchen is always calling me. With a few shared recipes, I hope yours will too!
1 bundt cake plus extra batter for muffins, loaf or smaller cake pan Tip: Fruit, or sometimes vegetables, can be interchanged in cake or quick bread recipes. What you're looking for is moisture. If you don't like bananas, use more pears. Other alternatives: shred or finely dice apples, zucchini or carrots. Use canned or... Continue Reading →
6-8 servings Tip: If you're not into making pie crust, keep things simple and purchase one. Another option is to make the quiche without crust. It would be equally delicious. I had 2 small bundles of dough scraps in the freezer from a previous pie bake, so decided to patch them together for this quiche.... Continue Reading →
12-16 slices per loaf Tip: Whether using fresh or frozen berries in this quick bread, toss them in some of the flour mixture from the recipe before gently folding them in at the end. This will help to keep them distributed in the bread and not sink to the bottom. Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose... Continue Reading →
Serves 8-12 Tip: I thought about glazing this coffee cake (and you certainly could), but changed my mind when I sliced a small sample the night I baked it. This is one of the best coffee cakes I've eaten; it has such intense fruit flavor. Plums and figs are a delicious combination, yet super... Continue Reading →
Makes 12 muffins or 6 jumbo muffins (shown) Tip: As with most of my recipes, this one is all about your personal tastes.

1 serving Tip: I like hot cereal for breakfast, but it gets a little boring sometimes (my own fault, I'll admit). I'm going to work harder at making hot breakfast more interesting and nutritious. I think my body will thank me. 🙂 If you'd like to join me in one new creation, give this oat... Continue Reading →

Yield as shown in photo. You may choose a different mix of pans. (ex: all muffins or muffins plus a bundt pan, etc.) Tip: Julia Child had a kitchen rule...“No matter what happens in the kitchen, never apologize.” Julia's rules are definitely good enough for me! 😉 I made a batch of chunky applesauce last week...

Makes about 6-8 cups. Tip: Applesauce may seem like an old-fashioned dish when made from scratch. After all, what could be more convenient than those individual cups that pack so neatly in a lunch bag? But is it really delicious? Make one batch of this natural chunky applesauce using a small variety of apples... Continue Reading →
Makes 12 standard muffins Tip: Who doesn't like a muffin? You may be out there, but I don't know you personally. I could eat 3 at one sitting! These muffins are relatively healthful, but if calories are a concern, bake (and eat 😉 ) smaller portions by using a mini muffin pan. You should get... Continue Reading →
