Fresh Cherry Muffins are a sweet summer flavor Right now, sweet cherries are at their peak and at the best prices all year. So Fresh Cherry Muffins are a must-have! We don't have AC, so it is a pretty big deal for me to turn the oven on this time of year. These muffins are worth it though. It is a busy time of year You don't want to be fooling around in the kitchen for a long time when there is so much else to do. Me either, which is why there aren't as many photos in the post as I ...

Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts
Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts are amazing! Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts are going to be your new favorite thing - I promise!

That means figuring out how to use some of them for ... Read More about Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts
Orange Cardamom Muffins
Rewind: Orange Cardamom Muffins This is a re-post of an old recipe that never got enough love the first time around. I am working on moving content around to make it easier to find, and this is the start of the project - so enjoy! We are drunk on oranges around here these days.

Hey - you need that extra vitamin C this time of year, to ward off the multitude of ... Read More about Orange Cardamom Muffins
Lemony Carrot Muffins
We are getting this first snow of the year as I am writing this today. Just some flurries, and I doubt we will see much in the way of accumulation, but still. The day it first snows is not my favorite day of the year. I do like getting back into baking mode though. Also soup, casserole, stew, roast and chili modes are pretty great. And I am really enjoying being back in bread baking mode! So, in keeping with taking my blessings as they come, we had some rather over enthusiastic carrots left in ...

Soft Cornmeal Muffins
It has been quite a winter around here, and I would be lying if I said it has been an easy one to get through. Not because of the weather - we live where we expect the winters to be fierce and getting a bad one is no reason for sniveling. I will tell you that as I am writing this on March 13th, there are still several feet of snow everywhere around us, and not a single bare patch anywhere in the yard. Even the chickens refuse to range, preferring to sit in the doorway and peer out on the ... Read More about Soft Cornmeal Muffins
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Plus, How to Get Those Pretty, High Domed Muffins Every Time! We have had a couple of nice springlike days here, but not nearly enough to make up for how the weather has abused us recently. So, I am looking for a little bit of internal sunshine to brighten up my outlook, and how better than to bake some pretty Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins? I have been experimenting with improving the way I make muffins. Previously, though they tasted good, I found the appearance to be somewhat lacking - kind of ...
