Pumpkin with diced, fried potatoes and curry, all wrapped up in a fritter batter! I love coming back to fritters. I confess that I’ve made fritters several times in the past and when I do I always think, “Why don’t I make these more often?” Then I sort of forget and take a while to […]
Sweet Potato & Spicy Chorizo Fritters
A very popular snack at our house, mashed sweet potatoes and chorizo sausage in a fritter! With the creation of this recipe, I think I need to come clean and state that I will apparently turn anything into a fritter! It all started with sweet summer blueberries that I added to a batch of Blueberry […]
Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins
These muffins are loaded with sweet banana flavor and scrumptious chunks of chocolate. What a breakfast!
Cherry Chocolate Coffee Cake
This edition for Six Of One the focus is Six Ways With Cherries! And this recipe is for a Cherry Chocolate Coffee Cake. I find that making coffee cakes, quick breads or muffins (like Banana Chocolate Chunk Muffins) is extremely satisfying. They are not complicated, and the batters come together quickly. The somewhat long bake time is […]
Irish Brown Bread
We discovered Brown Bread on our trip to Ireland and had it everywhere we stopped. Now that we’re home and missing those hearty slices, it’s time to make some brown bread in my own kitchen. This post may contain affiliate links. In my Delectable Destinations posts about my trip to Ireland with my mother and […]
Black Panther Claws Pastry with Almonds
You are probably already familiar with bear claws: the delightful, flaky pastries sold in bakeries, usually huge, and with almonds strategically placed to create the “claws” effect or just scattered generously over the top. That pastry gave me the inspiration to create these Black Panther Claws. They are an homage to the Marvel Black […]
Toffee & Coconut Sweet Buns
This recipe takes my Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls to a new sweet level by swapping in some moist, shredded coconut and toffee bits. They are thick through the swirl in these buns! The flavors are delectable together, with the coconut bringing a soft chewiness and the toffee a bit of crunch. And of course a […]
Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls
Gray, chilly days like the ones we have survived through this winter, are perfect days for a batch of sweet, homemade cinnamon rolls! Things may be frozen outside but this sweet dough is full of life, waiting to puff up in the oven. Never one to be content will a simple roll, I bumped up […]
Bailey’s Irish Cream Scones with Whiskey-Chocolate Sauce
Tender scones full of Bailey’s Irish Cream flavor become part of a great dessert when topped with fresh, sweetened whipped cream and whiskey chocolate sauce! Creating this recipe led to my doing a little digging into the origin of Irish cream – and what I learned turned out to be quite interesting and unexpected! I […]
Bake For Good: Baking In The Classroom
I love the King Arthur Flour Bake For Good initiative to get people baking not just for themselves but as a way to connect with loved ones, friends and community members. (Check out their blog post all about it!) Here is the story of how my husband has been doing just this with his elementary classroom community. […]
Scallion Buttermilk Biscuits
These are tender, savory and buttery biscuits full of fresh scallions! I created these biscuits to hold and complement the flavorful fillings of Deli Chicken Biscuit Sandwiches with Dill & Red Grapes, and there are certainly many other sandwich fillings that would be amazing on these biscuits. (Think roast beef with Cheddar, a BLT, tuna salad, […]
Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Bread
Pull-apart breads and monkey bread recipes are plentiful indeed! And with good reason: Little balls of bread dough drenched in the sweet or savory sauce of ones choice bake up in a convenient and easy-to-disassemble (pull-apart) form! And plenty of flavor in every bite. My mother-in-law makes a killer Pepperoni Pizza pull-apart bread. There are […]
