In preparing for a long drive and a week-long camping trip, I wanted to make hearty, nutritious granola bars. This recipe is quick to toss together with ingredients you’ll probably have in your cupboard. I chose to use natural peanut butter to continue with the “whole, hearty” theme, but using another form of creamy peanut […]

Snickerdoodles
originally posted June 9, 2009. I could hardly believe I hadn’t posted a snickerdoodle recipe yet. Craziness. This is one of my favorite cookies and making them has fond memories of my growing-up years, yet for some reason I don’t bake them very often. The cookies have a delightful crisp surface, with a soft center, […]
Apple Cinnamon Bread
I need you to know I have a seriously love for all things apple cinnamon–candles, lotions, oatmeal, breads. This recipe fits perfectly into my idea of an amazing apple-cinnamon combination. I’m so glad I saw the recipe appear on both twopeasandtheirpod.com and browneyedbaker.com. I knew that meant it was a winner. I highly recommend you make this […]
Crunchy Almond Granola
I love granola–particularly the homemade variety. You can pick and choose the perfect ingredients for your granola, controlling the amount of sugar as you go. The potential mix-ins for granola are almost limitless–chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, other dried fruits, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, et cetera. So good. I have made Peanut Butter Banana Granola and […]
Cinnamon Sugar Biscotti
Biscotti are a twice-baked Italian cookie that are just begging to be enjoyed by dunking into your favorite hot beverage. I grew up around these–being from an Italian family. My grandma would always have these hard cookies around to eat with her cup of tea. I never really understood their appeal back then. But now? […]
Pumpkin Ginger Nut Muffins
I was looking for a pumpkin muffin recipe for two reasons– 1. It’s pumpkin time, people! 2. I needed a “to go” meal to send with our teens when we leave at 6am Saturday morning for a Bible Quiz. Elise at Simply Recipes came through for me again! These muffins are dense and hearty, while […]

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this fantastic recipe blog by The Cooking Couple, Maria and Josh. Their blog, Two Peas in […]
Spiced Apple Cake
I couldn’t resist this delicious recipe from Joy the Baker when considering what to contribute to our church potluck. It was perfect. Apples. Spice. and Cake. My favorite things. And who can resist a pretty bundt cake. *Almost* too adorable to eat. When I finally got to grab a fork I have to say, I […]
Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bread
Banana bread is always the way to go when the overripe fruit sits uneaten. In fact, I might confess to allowing bananas to turn brown just so I can have a great excuse to try a new banana bread recipe! :) Or I check Meijer’s discount produce rack that sometimes sells overripe bananas for $0.19/pound. I […]
