Fresh Apple Cake
Fresh Apple Flavor in a super-easy cake This Fresh Apple Cake is a recipe that I have made dozens of times over the years. It is fruity, has nice spice and it's ready very quickly. I first ran across this idea a very long time ago, when I was feeding a baby at lunchtime, and watching the news at noon. [it was my chance to find out what was going on in the world!] It came from the guy who had recipes on all the noon news shows at the time - Chef somebody or other. I've tweaked this a ...

English Muffin Bread
English Muffin Bread is a no-fail recipe Yeast bread sometimes has a difficult reputation. The perception is that it's difficult and fussy and easy to mess up. And yes - some yeast breads can be a bit harder to master. But not English Muffin Bread. This bread is so easy that anyone can make it. I do make that statement lightly. Not everyone grew up cooking and baking and not everyone made their own bread for years. If that is you, please don't fear - you have met your perfect, easy ... Read More about English Muffin Bread
Honey Lemon Winter Squash
Honey Lemon Winter Squash has wonderful flavor! This is the best time of year to grab some winter squash. Properly stored, it will be at its peak of flavor right about now - fully ripened and nicely sweet. It is just perfect with the flavors of honey and lemon too - a little sweet, a little acidity. Those flavors enhance the background richness of the squash itself immeasurably. I know, I already did a recipe with Lemon this week, but maybe you bought a bag of lemons and now you need ...

Lemon Spice Brownies
Lemon Spice Brownies are amazing This is one of those recipes that was a niggling thought in the back of my mind for a while. Brownies are kind of a big deal for me. I love the crispy edges, the chewy centers, the richness, and the texture. And usually, the chocolate. But what if I could make a bar-type cookie that kept all the best things about brownies, but with a different flavor? There are lots of recipes for Blondies on here too, but none of them were quite what I wanted either. Only ... Read More about Lemon Spice Brownies
Caramelized Broccoli with Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette

Mediterranean Chicken & Kale
Mediterranean Chicken & Kale is fast and easy! This recipe has been kicking around my kitchen for years. It's a family favorite and a meal we enjoy nearly every month. I used to make it with spinach, until my younger daughter, Lauren made it for us with kale. The kale is much more flavorful and toothsome, and its more substantial texture stands up much better than the spinach ever did, hence changing the recipe to Mediterranean Chicken & Kale. Having said that however, ... Read More about Mediterranean Chicken & Kale
Bean with Bacon Soup
Winter is soup season! There's nothing quite so good in the winter as a lovely bowl of soup. This Bean with Bacon Soup is definitely one of our favorites. I have a confession to make. For all my talk about fresh, homemade food, I love bean with bacon soup. And yes, I mean the stuff in the can with the red and white label. I know - it is a terrible secret, and I'm trusting you not to tell a soul. It is a childhood thing I suppose. Our elementary school didn't have a lunch ... Read More about Bean with Bacon Soup

Sweet Potato Quick Bread
Unique flavor with Sweet Potato Quick Bread You've probably seen recipes for a lot of different quick breads. Like most, this Sweet Potato Quick bread is a simple recipe that utilizes non-yeast ingredients to give a nice rise. They're called "quick" because these rising agents are activated by oven heat, so once mixed together, you just pop them right in the oven. No waiting, as there is with a loaf of yeast bread. And don't worry about Sweet Potato Quick Bread being complicated. Prepping ... Read More about Sweet Potato Quick Bread
