The last ramps of the season were sitting in my fridge, and what better way to use them up but with some eggs and bacon. I also had some leftover homegrown swiss chard that was given to me, so I threw those in with the ramps. A healthy way to start the day! Of course, [...]

I’ve never been all that excited by biscuits. I think it’s because most of the time, they turn out dry and somewhat tasteless if you get them at diners or restaurants. And don’t even get me started on the fast food version. But, now that I know how good these are, I’ll be stocking my [...]
Raspberry Blueberry Muffins

As I’ve mentioned before, one of my favorite bakeries in the world is Flour Bakery in Boston. I remember Sunday mornings and trying to decide what I wanted most. I’ve been waiting to try the muffin recipes from the cookbook, but it’s usually a last minute thought and I don’t regularly keep Creme Fraiche lying [...]
Winter Fruits Smoothie

This time of year, I’m really missing fruit. I’m tired of eating apples and citrus is great, but I want some berries. My only option is frozen fruit, but I don’t like thawed frozen fruit unless I blend it up into a smoothie. This one was a great one because it had the right amount [...]

I always forget how much I actually like quiche until I have some leftover pie dough and make one. It’s a perfect lunch with some salad on the side and so easy to make. Plus, you can use up any leftovers in the fridge. Just substitute or add to the ingredients below, and you can [...]
Apple Butter

This one is definitely a keeper….it’s going into the yearly apple rotation. Along with my apple pie and the new apple oat muffin recipe, this is what fall is about. And if you’re into the new canning craze, this is definitely a prime candidate. If you don’t know, apple butter is really not very different from [...]
Apple Oat Muffins

I love warm, fresh muffins on a snowy day. Preferably one when I don’t need to go outside, but you can’t have everything. It’s snowing in October and I think we need some muffins to start the day off right. So I started out with Joanne Chang’s (Flour Bakery in Boston) Good Morning Muffins recipe [...]
Zucchini Bread

Every once in a while I have a craving for zucchini bread. For me, it’s like carrot cake without the cream cheese frosting ( I hate cream cheese, for those that don’t know…). And there’s nothing better on a rainy weekend morning than a slice of zucchini bread with my morning coffee. For some reason, [...]

A couple years ago I came across a recipe for savory bread pudding and tried it out. Ever since, it’s been my go-to dish for using up leftovers in the fridge. There are endless varieties that you can make, and it’s actually better if you make it the night before and let it sit. All [...]
