Coffee Cake Muffins
If you want a quick to “whip up” breakfast muffin or after-school snack this one fits the bill! It tastes like a cinnamon coffee cake but takes a fraction of the time to make. This muffin is light and airy and the cinnamon streusel begs to be both a filling and a topping. And why…

Pumpkin Spice Scones
October typically rushes in fall: brightly colored leaves, cool crisp weather, fireplaces and pumpkins. Our October started out with weather in the 70’s and even 80’s, so I put the pumpkin to the back burner for a bit. Now, just in time for a cool October morning, comes the pumpkin scone. This scone is “cakey”…

Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
Everyone knows a healthy breakfast is a great way to kick-start the day. On school days, I get the privilege of babysitting my two grandsons and part of my responsibilities is to feed them breakfast. 2-year-old Joey loves pancakes or oatmeal. This recipe uses both of those breakfast items in one delicious and, as it…

Snickerdoodle Muffins
I have a confession: I’m hooked! Hooked on Pinterest.com. In case you’ve never heard of it, which I can NOT imagine, it is a virtual bulletin board where you can “pin” pictures/articles you find on the internet (for FREE!). For me, this is amazing, because I often find something I want to share with someone…

Corn Muffins
Whew! I’m not sure about you, but my end of summer was a bit hectic. In the midst of the extreme heat of the last of August, along came Hurricane Irene. Like many of you, we were for-warned of the high winds and extreme amounts of rain. Here in the northeast, after a very wet…

Blueberry Crumb Muffins
These muffins are packed with delicious, fresh blueberries (you may also use frozen) and topped with buttery crumbs. In the bakery, before leaving for the day, I would prep out the dry ingredients in plastic containers. When I arrived in the early a.m., I just added the liquid ingredients to the dry, scooped them into…

Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
A weekend morning is made so much better by a family breakfast. In the summer, I make breakfast on the grill to keep the heat out of the house. I have a cast iron griddle which fits perfectly over part of our grill for pancakes, but you can use a smaller griddle or non-stick pan.…

Sour Cream Coffee Cake
For years, this was my “go to” coffee cake to bring to Easter Breakfast/Brunches. In fact, I made this one early this morning so I can take it to our after-church Easter Brunch tomorrow. Your family will love it and you won’t be baking it just for Easter anymore! The sour cream in this recipe…

Hot Cross Buns
Hot Cross Buns are sweet and spicy yeast bread usually with raisins or currants, or sometimes both and are traditionally eaten on Good Friday. There are several theories as to the origin of these rolls which include an Angelican monk who was said to have placed the sign of the cross on the buns, to…

Baked “Cake Donut” Muffins
Everywhere on the internet there are recipes and blogs about Baked Donut Muffins. I love donuts – but don’t eat them anymore because I no longer eat fried foods. I never made them at the bakery, because I hate the smell of hot oil, and well, frankly, I avoided the bagel/donut crowd and concentrated on…
