Pumpkin Beer Bread

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

This is a take on my beer bread inspired by a recipe I saw on Twin Tables. This was a very tasty quick bread, and a nice accompaniment to some of our favorite chicken apple sausages for a quick and warm meal on a cool and rainy spring evening. Pumpkin ...

Grilled Garlic Flatbread

Sunday, June 5th, 2011

This was an easy and really tasty way to make garlic bread, and I'm looking forward to trying more pizza dough creations on the grill in the near future :-) The refrigerated dough I used tasted amazingly good cooked this way, so don't feel that you have ...

Streusel Topped Blueberry Muffins

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

These are inspired by this AllRecipes recipe. It comes very highly rated. My version incorporates several of the changes recommended by commenters, as well as my own notes and changes. These turned out very well, and I'd happily go back to this recipe again when I want ...

Strawberry Bread

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

We got a four pound box of strawberries yesterday at the store and while we ate about half of them, some weren't quite as ripe, so I went looking for a recipe to use them up. This recipe is inspired by one on AllRecipes.com. I think my version turned out ...

Baked French Toast à l’Orange

Saturday, December 25th, 2010

Another recipe from Central Market. This originally called for marmelade as well, but Shaun isn't a fan, so we skipped it. They have a great "Ultimate French Toasting Bread" from the local Brenner Brother's Bakery, which is thickly sliced and light and wonderfully absorbent. We didn't like ...

Easy Cornbread Stuffing

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

This is the stuffing that Shaun grew up with, so it holds a special place for him. We don't make it every year, but we did this one :-) It was a bit too buttery for us after eating fairly healthy for so long, so next time ...

Apple Pecan Bread

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

I used this recipe as a starting point for this very good apple bread. I did half granulated white sugar and half light brown sugar, used pecans instead of walnuts, and ended up needing a bit more oil and some water to bring the batter together. It turned ...

Mini Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

These are my absolute favorite pumpkin cranberry bread baked into a mini muffin form. Instant easy portion control and an easy to share treat for taking into work. I just moved desks on Friday so I'm finally co-located with the group I've been working with all year, and ...

Some Weekend Baking

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

I did some random baking this weekend. First, a (very) "rustic" (aka, ugly) raspberry lime crostata thingy. I got a flat of raspberries that turned out to be not so great, so I stirred in about 1/4 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, and the juice of ...

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

I usually make my corned beef and veggies in the crockpot, but today I did them on the stovetop, since I wouldn't be home to put in the veggies at the halfway point. It turned out just as good. I also baked my soda bread, which was good as always. I ...
