Red Velvet Rolls, If You Please
I’m wearing a sweatshirt as I write this post. I have goosebumps on my arms and legs. The leaves outside are threatening to change colors and there’s dew on the ground. DEW, people. Do you know what this means? It means I’m going to need a hearty and delicious breakfast to get me up and at ‘em during this rapid transition to the cooler months. Whether you need a little boost before putting on your backpack and heading off to the schoo... Read More ›

Black Pepper Buttermilk Biscuits

Black Pepper Buttermilk Biscuits
Let’s make a list of things that are awesome (because you know you love lists as much as I do). Puppies. Ice cream. Snuggies. Tablespoon. J Biscuits. So basically, this list makes me a hermit who likes puppies and this awesome website called Tablespoon, but it also means I’m a biscuit fiend. So when the craving hit me one recent weekend – after getting up ridiculously early for a weekend morning AND having already exercised (... Read More ›

Bacon-Spinach Galette

Some things are worth celebrating with food – like birthdays, holidays or the anniversary of when you found a dollar on the ground (hey, nothing is too small to be celebrated with food). On most of these occasions, we either make sweet desserts or painstakingly tedious meals. For me, I could do without another cupcake, and the thought of a tower of dishes just for a nice, home-cooked meal almost takes all the fun out of celebrating. So when... Read More ›

Spanakopita Pie
Despite what my family or my freezer might tell me, I don’t always bake sweet things. Yes, sometimes I go on a sweet-baked-goods bender and wear out my oven with muffins, pies and quick breads. But sometimes my savory tooth kicks in and it won’t let up until I bake something salty. Enter this Spanakopita Pie. Don’t let the name “pie” fool you – despite its deceptive name and inclusion of butter, this recipe really is a dream f... Read More ›

You will be glad you did. This recipe for Orange-Pecan Sticky Bu... Read More ›

Ginger Pecan Scones
Maybe you really, really like pecans. Maybe you just can’t get enough of ginger. In either case, these Ginger Pecan Scones are most definitely for you! These scones – or as I fondly call them, “scookies,” after they came out of the oven shaped like giant, round cookies – are not for the flavor-timid. They pack a wallop of ginger flavor with a triple-threat of ground ginger, crystallized ginger (my favorite) and fresh grated ginger.... Read More ›

Low-Fat Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins

Low-Fat Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins
I’ll be honest – I’m not much of a fan of the “low-fat” food fad. To me, it seems healthier to eat full fat foods, but in smaller quantities. However, low-fat foods aren’t necessarily bad, as long as they’re made with real ingredients. None of that fake stuff goes into anything I bake. Call me persnickety, but I hold steadfast to these rules. That said, there’s nothing wrong with eliminating excess fat in a homemade dish... Read More ›

Hot Cross Buns
Though I’ve been singing the children’s song, “Hot cross buns, hot cross buns…” my whole life, it wasn’t until a few years ago, when my husband ordered Hot Cross Buns at a bakery near our school, that I saw and tasted my first real hot cross bun. In fact, I didn’t even know they existed beyond the song! Now that I know Hot Cross Buns are, indeed, real – and made my own version at home – I’m sure they’ll forever be... Read More ›

Mini Chocolate Souffles
In the category of “Holy Cow There’s No Way I Can Make That At Home,” soufflé has always been at the top of my list. I’ve heard horror stories about soufflés gone wrong, including the most infamous tale – that of of the sunken soufflé. But when I decided to take a chance and make Mini Chocolate Souffles for a fun, new dessert, I can confidently tell you that soufflés are nothing to fear. In fact, this is one of the easiest – an...

Everything Breadsticks
If you haven’t had the pleasure of baking yourself a batch of homemade breadsticks, now is the time. Not only is it insanely easy, they’re immensely more flavorful and delicious than the ones wrapped up between the dinner rolls at restaurants. When I first planned to make these Everything Breadsticks, they were supposed to be those long, round, soft breadsticks, the kind that almost melt in your mouth after they’re pulled straight from...
