There are some of us that need to pay attention to what we eat most of the time lest we blow up like an elephant overnight! I, unfortunately, am one of those people. Tomorrow we are having yet another buffet at school, though this time it is a healthy buffet. Supposedly eating from this buffet [...]

We recently had our annual Christmas Buffet. Always delicious, always too much food. One of the desserts that is post worthy, (and let me tell you there will be others), was the Friendship Spice Cake. This was very moist and delicious, had a hint of spice, and would also make a great breakfast. Lenore, the [...]

Here is a great Thanksgiving bread that originated in New England. Anadama. Mmmm. Nice and moist and since Thanksgiving began in New England what other bread could be more appropriate?  The story behind the bread is quite interesting. It seems that a fisherman’s wife named Anna, kept serving her husband nothing but cornmeal and molasses [...]

This is one of those recipes that is perfect for Thanksgiving but also quite delish for anytime. It is not too tedious to make but it is well worth every little bit of effort put into it.

3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups unbleached flour

Ah fall. Scarecrows in the yard, goblins on the doorstep, and pumpkin bread on the table. What’s not to love? One of my favorite fall foods is pumpkin anything, especially bread. I have been making this bread for over 30 years and it has never, ever failed to please. It has a nice spice mix [...]

This was the weekend for baking. I made a great apple cake, and then I made a bean soup that needed a nice bread to go along with it. I didn’t have the time to make my favorite rustic bread so I made a quick rising whole wheat yeast bread. It is made with both whole [...]

One of the breads that I often bake is a cranberry walnut bread. I love the combination of tart-sweet in a breakfast bread. My husband usually takes a bread to work each day, breakfast bread that is, and this bread is frequently in his lunch! I use orange juice as the liquid to give the [...]

Okay, this is my absolute last post on zucchini for the 2009 year. Don’t hold me to that one as I have been thinking of a zucchini buckwheat muffin that quite possibly will make it to the breakfast table tomorrow morning. But, back to the business of a zucchini chocolate cake. It just seems that [...]

Here we go again, yet another post about zucchini. Like I said before, there is an over abundance of this little vegetable/fruit. I have been searching through my old family hand written recipes and found this one for zucchini bars. Looking it over, I decided to make it for breakfast. I only wanted to make [...]
