The Best Garlic Bread EVER
It’s taken me WEEKS to get this post up. See, I made some garlic bread on the fly one night. It came out perfectly. I wrote down the recipe. The problem? I didn’t take a photo. So, I made it again. However, I got distracted and burned the heck out of it. We ate it [...]
Homemade Gifts: No Knead Cheddar Beer Bread
After giving birth to my daughter last month, I was in the hospital for several days. Thank goodness for magazines because I would have been bored out of my head – I only had a temperamental television and a newborn to keep me company over the long days (and sleepless nights). And yes, she is [...]
Recipe: Blueberry Streusel Muffins
Blueberries. Mmm. Fresh picked blueberries. Double mmm. After picking blueberries yesterday, I knew I had to do something with them immediately for breakfast. So early this morning, I whipped up a batch of blueberry streusel muffins. I’ve made these tasty muffins before, but this time I amped up the flavor with a bit more blueberries [...]
Sunday Breakfasts #4: Banana Blueberry Muffins
Okay, yes. I was supposed to post this two days ago . . . but things got busy. My apologies. The good news is that this week’s Sunday Breakfasts will appear early — on Saturday instead. I knew this Sunday would be a busy one so I wanted a good “on the go” breakfast. These [...]
French Toast and Ina Garten’s Maple Roasted Bacon
I was much more daring this week with my breakfast. We had Ina Garten’s Maple Roasted Bacon, hash browns, a cheddar omelet split between Will and Shawn, and French toast. Talk about carb overload. Secret of making good breakfast #1: Lower the temperature on the burner! You would think I already knew this, but the [...]
Sundried Tomato Foccacia with Rosemary
These days, carbs are the only thing sustaining me . . . they keep me full without upsetting my stomach (and that is quite a feat, believe me). And there is something about springtime that really makes me want to make my own breads. (It could also be yeast envy over the delicious pizzas that [...]

Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins
I started this post more days ago then I want to admit. But believe me, it’s worth the wait. When I made these muffins, they met with a reaction I didn’t anticipate: elation. My husband was simply elated when he told me how great my muffins were. How cool is that??? He raved and raved [...]
Blueberry Streusel Muffins Recipe
A good blueberry muffin melts in your mouth. It’s not so sweet that it leaves your teeth craving a good Crest fix, nor is it so dense that you grab for any beverage available to help wash it down. The inside should be as delectable as the muffin top and it should be littered with [...]
Tortilla flat
For me, there has always been a bit of mystique surrounding tortillas. I love them, particularly the fresh ones from Fairway in New York City that come in a variety of flavors. But I have never tried to make my own. Hell, I wasn’t even sure it was possible. You’d think by now that I [...]
