Mini Corn Muffins W/Bacon, Chives & Spicy Cream Cheese Whip

Sometimes, inspiration just strikes.  Like lightening.  Or in my case, like cream cheese and bacon. A few years ago I started adding bacon and chives to my regular Mini Corn Muffins.  I still make them plain all the time and usually serve them with chili, salads, or just as a snack to…

Buttermilk Bread

Inevitably, when I leave for vacation, I seem to have a container of buttermilk left.  You would think I get hip to this fact over time and take the necessary measures, using it up in waffles and pancakes the week before we go, but I never do. Now, if this were ice…

Pioneer Bread

Can I just, say something…crazy? In my head, that request was stated like Princess Anna in Frozen. Ok.  Here is the crazy thing.  Are you ready? This bread tastes like history.  Like the Old West.  Like The Oregon Trail. I TOLD you it was crazy, and although I am not a woman…

Granny’s Buttermilk Pound Cake

Sometimes things come along in life that you just know are special. The first time I tasted this pound cake was one of those times.  Not special like the birth of my children or my wedding day, but something that you know is different.  Lovely.  My best friend makes this pound cake…

Brown Sugar Banana Nut Muffins

I see Banana Nut Muffins as a pretty standard type of baked good.  When I set out to create this recipe, I wanted all the great flavor but with just a tweak (just a smidgen) of an update.  So I made it heart healthy but kept the classic brown sugar taste that…

Iceberg Slaw

Everyone needs a fall back recipe.  Something that is cheap, easy, and goes with everything.  Like a perfume that you can wear to the beach or to brunch with your in-laws.  This, my friends, is one of mine. It has very few ingredients, all of which I generally have on hand.  And…

Oatmeal & Brown Sugar Scones

It is no secret that I like anything made with oatmeal. I try and work it into just about everything I make.  I use it as a binder in my meatloaf, bake it into my breakfast, cookies, muffins, and I have been experimenting with putting it in my drinks and smoothies. Naturally,…

Chocolate Cupcakes W/Orange Buttercream & A Celebration

So, yeah.  Things have been pretty busy around my house this week. My husband is off after a long crazy run at work and my daughter is finishing up first grade this week.  I have a birthday in a few days, my daughter has a birthday in a few days, and we…

Blueberry Maple Muffins

I don’t know much in the way of sports jargon, but I will do my best. These muffins came out of left field!  They gave me the one two punch!  They are a perfect 10!  Touchdown!  If I had to give this recipe a score, it would be Love:Love. I can almost…

Buttermilk Cremes

I had a brief moment of hesitation when deciding to post this recipe.  Very brief.  Like, so brief it is barely worth mentioning.  And yet here I am, talking about it… But THEN!  Then, I came to my senses and started typing!  I thought that another custard recipe so soon after creme brulee…

Classic Buttermilk Biscuits

I feel like I start posts like this a lot, but…well…here it is.  This is another one of those recipes that I have been meaning to post for over a year now.  Why?  Several reasons.  Is the suspense driving you crazy?  Heh heh. First of all, it is classically plain.  Nothing fancy…

Buttermilk Brownies

For a couple of weeks now, I have been in a kind of ‘brownie mood’.  This is a bit odd for me.  I really like brownies and if you look through my recipe archive you will find a ridiculously high number of recipes there for me to try.  But when it comes…

Pumpkin Pie Muffins: A fall recipe for you!

Yup.  This is just for you.  An autumn recipe that makes your house smell fantastic and is actually good for you.  Here it is, for your eyes alone.  No one else except the World Wide Web.  We are keeping this between you and me.The above is no exaggeration.  This recipe will make your house…

Cornmeal Pancakes W/Blueberry Sauce

Don’t let this picture fool you.  No matter how good you think this looks, it tastes even better. Usually, when my husband works regular hours (which is almost never), Saturday morning is the only day of the week that we get to really indulge in a nice big breakfast.  With the exception…

White Chocolate Rainbow Cake & A Party

My daughter turns five this coming weekend and I am not only in serious denial, but so sad about the whole thing I just may get physically ill.  You see, if she turns five, then that means kindergarten in the fall and I can’t even fathom the thought of what a wreck I will…
