French Breakfast Puffs:Little Puffs of Yum

I have looked at these a number of times in one of my vintage cookbooks and just passed over them..They seemed too simple, too average, too mediocre. A little flour, a few eggs..some butter…yadda yadda yadda.
But something whispered to me the other morning and I thought that I would. I mean, why not? So what […]

Crumb Cakes are a Recipe for Old Fashioned Goodness

Crumbcake. A muffin but not. :)
Usually when you see a recipe for crumbcake it will be baked in a square pan. I like to make them in muffin cups; little individual bites of WOW. By doing it this way you can

Butterscotch Muffins Go with Tea or Coffee

Muffins have to be one of my favorite foods because they are versatile and quick, two things that I really like in a recipe. :)

Think Spring: Key Lime & Rose Muffins

I had some leftover key lime juice from the key lime and strawberry pie that I made and I wanted to use it up. It is not cheap stuff, and besides that, it is too good to let it go bad. Sounds like a country song title, doesn’t it?
Anyway…made these for breakfast the […]

Easy Make Ahead Bran Muffins

 
You know that I love old cookbooks.   They don’t depend on prepackaged things, or microwaves…Just brilliant ideas, and lots of good ingredients.
Now, I don’t know how you feel about bran muffins.  Some people love them ad some hate them.  I love them.  At least these.  You can put raisins in them, or figs, or dried […]

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 […]

This recipe for apricot & white chocolate scones is melt in your mouth delicious and easy too!  My recipe for scones is […]

A Taste of Autumn

Before I give you my thoughts on this incredible Maple Apple Streusel Muffin, let me say that I have no clue what is up with my lighting for my photographs. Combination of cheap, old camera and the new type of light bulbs (green but yellow if you know what I mean)..or maybe it is […]
