I have been hearing Sara talk about the goodness of these muffins for years now, and for whatever unknown reason had never gotten around to baking them myself. I’m glad I finally kicked my rear into gear because these little babies are OUT OF THIS WORLD. I probably ate half the batch myself. These can […]
Homemade Peanut Butter Recipe
If you are a fan of natural peanut butter, then this recipe takes your the best varieties and perfects it by limiting the essential ingredients to one—peanuts. The oil, salt (or even honey) are all optional additions to increase flavor in your homemade peanut butter. I love finding a jar of peanut butter with […]
Rustic Peach Pie Recipe
We had a large bowl full of fresh, beautiful peaches given to us from local fruit farmer friends who go to our church. Yum! We were eating as fast as we could, but we couldn’t keep it. It was time for reinforcements–pie to the rescue! This lovely, rustic pie is simple to make and delicious […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
I first made a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie about a year ago, on a whim. I shared them with a friend and her family and I never stopped hearing about how delicious they were. Honestly, though, I didn’t think they were that great. But TWICE (yes two times!) in the last week, I have […]
Chewy Chocolate Chip Shortbread Bars Recipe
Here’s another you-can’t-believe-how-simple-this-recipe-is recipe. I had less than an hour to throw together a dessert for some last minutes guests, and when I found this recipe on Tasty Kitchen that had 1 pan and 6 ingredients involved, I knew it was a winner. But the beautiful thing is, the cookie bars were not only easy but […]
Spicy Tuna Salad on Whole Wheat
There’s something classically delicious about tuna salad. If you like tuna, you probably love a good tuna sandwich now and again. The problem with traditional tuna salad is the “salad” part–made up of excessive amounts of mayo or Miracle Whip. My husband is not a fan of those condiments, so I try to make a […]
Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread (Bread Machine) Recipe
This is my favorite whole wheat bread recipe so far! It uses basic ingredients, but results in a high rising loaf that slices wonderfully for sandwiches. You will impress your fans with this homemade bread. :) Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread (Bread Machine) Recipe recipe adapted from The Big Book of Bread Machine Recipes by Donna Rathmell […]
Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake Recipe
In my zucchini abundance, I was able to find the perfect recipe to soothe my “it’s rainy out and I really feel like baking” urge. This recipe from Tasty Kitchen is out of this world amazing! I’m not a great cake baker–they tend to turn out too dry or too boring or too flat. But […]
Monster Cookies Recipe
By definition, Monster Cookies are, well monstrous. They’re supposed to be huge, and also filled with every delicious ingredient you can dream up. I am thinking you could easily substitute half of the M&Ms and/or chocolate chips for another type of bite sized or chopped candy bar, raisins, coconut, chopped nuts, peanut butter or white […]
Fresh Blueberry Scones Recipe
Blueberry season is just about past, but there may still be some beautiful berries left on the bushes near you. If not, hopefully you saved a few in the freezer–those would work just fine in this recipe (keep the berries frozen when stirring them into the batter.) If you want a special addition to your […]
