blueberry/coconut/macadamia muffins
For starters, there are WAY too many vowels in this muffin description!! But they are worth every twisted tongue and exhaustible explanation because they are fragrant, tropical and fabulous. About a month ago I was contacted by a company called Oh! Nuts! and asked if I wanted some products to use for my holiday baking. [...]
nutella pound cake
Pretty fantastic ending….. wouldn’t you agree??? There is a class of food folks that live for dessert. No meal is complete without some amazing sweet at the end of it- a slice of cake, a bowl of ice cream, some creamy gelato, a chewy brownie or a few crisp cookies; there is just no way [...]
baking bonanza, quick bread style
There are dozens of recipes in my Recipe Index. I’ve been writing this blog for 5-1/2 years, and the content is huge, but my audience doesn’t go back that far. I could write forever about what’s been covered in the past, but instead, for this post, I’m culling together an entire array of quick bread [...]
cherry fig tea bread, round 2
The last two years for NaBloPoMo I’ve gone back in to my Recipe Index and re-introduced items that are worthy of a second look. Most people following my blog now weren’t doing so a year ago, and if readers are anything like I am, finding a new blog usually means going forward with what they [...]
perfect cornmeal waffles
It’s November again. And this morning when I arose, in the dark still silence, to the hum of the furnace and an noisy, eager cat face, the air smelled definitively of the impending winter. Never mind that it might reach near 60 today, or that the sun burns bright in that kind of blue sky [...]

So…. what [...]
radishes! radishes! radishes!
People, I’ve madly fallen in love with radishes. (photo courtesy of Really Natural) I do remember not particularly liking them as a kid. But then again, I didn’t care for much then anyway, being raised on a typically 1970′s diet, I was your typically picky little thing. Fresh foods weren’t that present in our [...]
Kellogg’s Virtual Breakfast Chat
Remember when I mentioned last week that I was participating in a virtual breakfast through The Motherhood with some other wonderful bloggers? The chat occurred this past Wednesday, when I was right about to be plunged over the cliff into complete sickness. I managed to deal with the chat perfectly, then set my computer aside [...]
pancakes for an ordinary day
Little that’s gone on lately has been ordinary, especially in other parts of the world. I’ve watched a few videos, scanned the headlines and saw a few photos, but for the most part, I’ve stayed far, far away from immersing myself in the news coverage of what’s gone on in Japan. I’m not posting on [...]
