Flour. Yeast. Cinnamon. Put those 3 words together along with some other ingredients and you have my mouth salivating. I am just love warm, yeasty, cinnamon bread. Cinnamon rolls have always been a fave of mine. I was very happy when my wife decided she wanted to try the Pionner Woman’s Pull Apart Cinnamon Bread…

Pumpkin Cornbread
My wife found this pumpkin recipe while cruising around Pinterest earlier this fall. We love cornbread, and we love pumpkin, so combining the two was absolute genius. The recipe comes from the blog, Sugarcrafter, which is focused on baking and canning. Before we get to the recipe, let me go through a few things that…
Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Muffins
When faced with a bunch of fresh rhubarb and some strawberries picked by my very own hands, I didn’t want to go the pie route. Anyone can make a pie or it’s close relatives the cobbler and the crisp. There is nothing wrong with that, especially when both ingredients are in season at the same…
Red, White, & Blue Sweet Jam Rolls
Happy Independence Day! Today is all about the red, white, and blue. I wanted to have a nice food photo of something with those iconic colors that hopefully will make the rounds on Pinterest today (thanks for stopping by, Pinners!). I need a blue food. Of course blueberries came to mind. What could be more…
Giada’s Blueberry Buttermilk Corn Muffins
We love our corn muffins in this household. Most of the time when I make cornbread I make it in muffin format. It makes it easy to distribute to guests. Plus muffins are just fun. I always on the look out for new recipes to try. I found one on a episode of Food Network’s…
Alton Brown’s Parsnip Muffins Review
The struggle of many a parent. A kid who won’t eat her vegetables. I have a major battle with my 2-year old daughter who doesn’t want to eat any vegetables. We struggle to even get her to eat corn, which seems to be the kid’s vegetable of choice. We have to think of unique ways…
My Variation on Pioneer Woman’s Hot Cross Buns
This year I am starting a new tradition in our house – making hot cross buns for Good Friday. I wrote early about why we eat them on Good Friday (check out that post) and now I am going to share with you the recipe I used. I choose Food Network story and blog queen…
Corned Beef & Cabbage Pizza
What Can I Make with Leftover Corned Beef Besides Hash? This year I decided to cook my corned beef and cabbage a week before St. Patrick’s Day, so I could come up with some leftover recipes for my readers. I wanted something unique. Hash is good and all (I will be covering that later this…
Alton Brown’s Healthier Biscuits Review
The first biscuits that I ever made were Alton Brown’s original biscuits from an early episode of Good Eats starring his late grandmother. That is a good classic recipe that turns out a good biscuit. But what I like about Alton Brown is that he doesn’t just rest on his laurels. I believe in always…
Pumpkin Yeast Bread and Rolls
Not much can beat the taste of fresh out of the oven yeast rolls. Unless you up to ante and add some pumpkin. Which is exactly what I did early this week. I found a recipe from one of the top flour makers in the country, King Arthur Flour. What I really liked about this…
