I bake a lot. And in order to not weigh in at 700 pounds. I give a good portion of my baked goods away. It’s not uncommon for me to bring treats to work once a week. Well this past Monday morning, before heading in to work, I whipped up these Almond Sugar Cookies with…
cherry, almond and white chocolate blondies
That, up there in the photo, is officially Greg’s new favorite blondie. And I can’t argue, it’s pretty darn tasty. You’ve seen quite a few blondie variations here on my blog. There’s a good explanation. They are a one bowl, easy to remember, recipe that revolves around the number one. As in: one stick of…
orange vanilla bean cupcakes
I made these Orange Vanilla Bean Cupcakes over the weekend after seeing them pop up on Annie’s Eats on Friday. They taste great and are really elegant, too. They would be perfect for a spring baby or bridal shower. Actually, they’d be great if you’re just hungry for an amazing cupcake. As I said, you…

I’m very excited to taste some delicious items made with local honey. I enjoy recipes that include honey and have featured several here…
olive oil and maple granola
I love homemade granola. I’ve featured several over the past few years. This Maple & Olive Oil Granola may be my favorite. I found a version of it on one of my favorite blogs, Orangette. I’ve made it several times now. Each a little different from the original recipe. The first time, I didn’t have…
smoked gouda and pecan mini cheese balls
I’m back. And with a recipe, too. Thanks for your patience. Some of you know that we added a very cute new member to the family last December. It was unexpected, and pretty much love at first sight. You’ll meet Ted at the end of the post. (OK, scroll down. I’ll wait.) Pretty cute, huh?…
