I don’t usually make muffins because they tend to be a bit indulgent, but aren’t quite indulgent enough to feel like a dessert. Well, these muffins are the perfect solution. I loved these because they’re just the right amount of sweet and are full of good-for-you ingredients. These muffins are perfect for breakfast with theirRead more
Muffins are a weakness of mine. There’s nothing quite like the taste of a pillowy-soft muffin. These blueberry muffins are packed with blueberries and are super tender. These are best eaten the day they’re made, but if you can’t eat them all in a day you can store them in an airtight container or freezeRead more
This cake was gorgeous. It just might be the perfect treat for Christmas morning. The cranberries are bright bursts of tart juice, the batter is full of sweet orange flavor, and the cake is light and fluffy. With the cranberries, this isn’t a very sweet cake, so it’s great for brunch or tea. This isRead more
So this is one of the desserts I made for Friday night’s Carroll Cafe. I had made a Cinnamon Sugar Zucchini Cake, and as I was slicing it to serve I sampled a piece and was HORRIFIED by how it turned out! It was gummy and weird and totally not cake-like. I’m not sure whatRead more
These were delicious. The perfect taste of fall flavors. Dad said they were the best muffins he’s ever had. My only complaint is that the recipe only made 10! Next time I’ll definitely be (at least) doubling the recipe! These are super moist due to the combination of butter, oil and applesauce. The fresh appleRead more
Ok, so our kitchen is being redone. Which is hugely exciting! But also means that my cooking options are rather limited for the next couple weeks. I’ll still try to keep up with posting, but they won’t all be recipes. While we’re trying to clear out the entire kitchen, the last thing I’ve wanted toRead more
Lemon poppy seed is my favorite muffin flavor. It’s been ages since I’ve had one, so I decided it was time to make a batch. These were very yummy. The glaze adds quite a bit of sweetness with a balance of tart lemon zest. The poppy seeds give a nice little crunch to the delicateRead more
These oatcakes are dense and hearty and filled with oat-y goodness. I wasn’t sure what I thought of these at first, but they definitely grew on me. They aren’t muffins, they’re way too dense and substantial to be muffins. But that makes them a great breakfast or snack, they have serious staying power. These areRead more
After all the feast of the past several weeks (months?), having something simple, light and green is exactly what I need. This is a really simple recipe, but all the ingredients really shine. This is a great dip to take to a party, but it also makes for a great sandwich. This combines healthy omega-3sRead more
I find that taking dip to work is a convenient and tasty lunch. There are lots of options for things to eat dip with, so your lunch can vary a lot too. This dip also makes a great sandwich spread, so if you’re a vegetarian it adds a nice protein kick to a sandwich. RosemaryRead more
