Recently I’ve had the urge to remake my recipe for Double Chocolate Scones. And not just because they’re incredibly delicious. Perhaps some of it is that they’re made with a substantial amount of whole wheat flour. It was a happy accident that led to this […]
I love English muffins, but it had been too long since I’ve made them. When I made apple butter last fall, I decided that I had to make them again – nothing else would do.
I’ve been thinking about this delicious baked potato and bacon soup for a while, and I finally revisited it. I’m glad I did. It’s easy to make, while being hearty, filling, and delicious. In other words, incredibly satisfying. And it’s perfect for winter.
Today I’m writing about my favorite new healthy breakfast. I stumbled upon this combination of steel-cut oats, walnuts, and pear by accident, but I honestly can’t get enough of it now. Some days I wake up craving it. I’ve loved steel-cut oats since I first […]

I love cinnamon rolls – but only homemade ones. I’ve seen too many very dark cinnamon rolls in bakery cases, ones where I know that even reheating (who wants a cold cinnamon roll?) will not make it worth eating. So I love making them at […]
I started making fruitcake for my extended family for Christmas in 2004 or 2005. I didn’t foist it on them; I only started making it after they told me, unprompted, that they liked fruitcake! I was thrilled to have an excuse to make it. Ever […]
