Great Breakfast Ideas: Fig & Black Pepper Muffins

 
I love the sweetness of figs. Fresh, they are fantastic, and dried…well I don’t think there is anything that matches the sweetness of a fig. They were not something I grew up with, except for the addiction my dad had to fig newtons. I discovered them as a young mom, trying to […]

By now you have several dozen cookies in the freezer and you are good to go, right? This is about the time I switch to quick breads. They also freeze really well and make really good gifts when wrapped in clear wrap and tied with raffia, or what ever imaginative way you want to do […]

Banana Toffee Blondies

I know..I know..blondies aren’t strictly a brownie.
My dad was a banana addict. He was born in 1917 and grew up during those hard years which culminated in WW2. As you can imagine, living in a rural area in Michigan he didn’t have many bananas. Well he made up for it when he became […]

Allergy-Free Apple Pear Plum Crisp

Right. This was supposed to be a pie, because I had a mix for allergy-free pie crust. Let’s just say the mix didn’t turn out too well. So, as I’d already prepared the filling and didn’t want to leave it in the fridge overnight, it turned into a crisp.
