A recipe blog of favorites
Paczki have been a favorite in my household ever since Alex and I moved to Champaign, Illinois. We bought at least one box of these filled donuts before Mardi Gras every year between 2005 and 2011. After we moved in 2012, I decided to try […]
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 love freshly baked, homemade cinnamon rolls. Particularly for breakfast, in the actual a.m. What I don’t like so much is getting up early enough to make cinnamon rolls from scratch. But guess what – I can make those cinnamon rolls in advance and bake […]
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 […]
For months, I’ve had cans of coconut milk stored in my pantry, in anticipation of trying out these Pina Colada Waffles with Rum Sauce again. I first made them from Alton Brown’s recipe 8 years ago when I did my 365 Recipe Challenge, but I’ve […]
Every time I make homemade bread, I ask myself, “Why don’t I make bread all the time?” The main reason is that I shouldn’t eat bread all the time. But I bemoan that every time I make this French Bread. It’s just so incredibly easy.
Fall-like weather has made an appearance here in South Jersey. I love fall. Autumn is a great time to do some baking. In the spring, I finally began to make bread again. I didn’t make bread as often as I’d hoped to do, but I […]
My toddler has been eating almond butter on toast for 2-3 meals a day for the last week, so when my dog pulled the last few pieces of bread from the counter and ate them while we were out, I took this opportunity to get […]
Often I ring in the New Year with a celebratory beverage or breakfast recipe. Not this year. After the past few weeks of cooking and baking, I am taking it easy to start off 2015. Most people do reflection posts at the end of the […]
Today, I finally made my 50th bread recipe this year! Overall, this was such a fun resolution I made. I am a little sad to have this be over, but at the same time, I am looking forward to a little more down time. Since […]
I’m Leona. My superpowers are keeping my family stocked with cookies, and eating those cookies.
Thanks for joining me here for some of my favorite recipes! Mostly sweets, of course, but sometimes I bake bread and make other things, too.
