A friend of mine recently took a trip to Ireland and mentioned wanting to find a recipe for Irish Brown Bread. I was very excited to find a recipe in my new favorite garage sale find – Bread Winners by Mel London. It’s a cookbook filled with over 200 bread recipes that was compiled in 1979. I […]
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Muffin Recipe
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 […]
Bakery Blueberry Muffins Recipe
I have always been a muffin fan, but I have never made blueberry muffins before. And even when I bake muffins, I find it difficult to keep from overbaking them. I hope I’m not alone in this one. The night before mine and my husband’s 4th anniversary camping trip, I decided to whip up a […]

Baking Powder Biscuits Recipe
It was Sunday morning. There was a potluck brunch after the early service and I had nothing prepared yet. Oops! Quick, Mel, think fast. What could I make in less than 30 minutes? Fresh biscuits, of course! This was the first time I had used this biscuit recipe, but it was so fast and easy […]
Cranberry Bread Recipe
I was a fresh cranberry newbie. I don’t know what it was about these beautiful berries, but I had kept my distance. After receiving a baking order for cranberry bread, I thought it was about time to start incorporating cranberries into my holiday baking. I bought 3 bags of berries–so don’t be surprised if there is […]
Blackberry Lemon Muffins
Blackberries were on sale for $0.99 cents per package, and I couldn’t resist buying a few! These delicate berries are normally $3.00 or more each, so even though I didn’t have a plan for them, I knew I would figure out a way to enjoy their deliciousness. I found a couple blackberry muffin recipes and […]
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 […]
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 […]
Chocolate Banana Bread
I thought it was our secretary’s birthday. So I wanted to make her something chocolate-y and delicious. I came up with this little recipe. It was perfect. Except today wasn’t her birthday. In fact, this isn’t even the right season for her birthday. It’s in October. Got it. But I’m pretty sure she still appreciated the […]
