    Pumpkin Bread, or Muffins

    May 7, 2020

    Pumpkin Muffins are a delicious dessert, great for breakfast or an afternoon snack - and great for the holidays!

    This recipe is the only Pumpkin Bread recipe that I have been using for decades without changing a single thing in the recipe. I make it any time of the year, but especially around the holidays when pumpkins are in season. Now that we are in lockdown I’m using up a lot of the frozen...

    Glazed Cinnamon Rolls

    December 12, 2017

    Melt in your mouth, gooey and delicious Glazed Cinnamon Rolls

    Glazed Cinnamon Rolls When I was still a young girl, somewhere between seven and nine years old, my passion was already cooking. If our parents went out for the evening I’d pull out a cookbook (that my mother never used, by the way) and pick out a recipe to make. It was my only opportunity...

    November 29, 2017

    Corn bread and muffins made with freshly ground cornmeal

    Lemon ricotta pancakes

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes! Pancakes, even when they're as fluffy as can be, take a back seat to these lemon ricotta pancakes. Fluffy isn't even the word I'd use; these are delightfully creamy. The lemon zest shines through beautifully, and of course you can't go wrong smothering these masterpieces with honey and fresh berries. They're sinfully...
