Jalapeño Cornbread

January 30, 2015

I just made a big pot of chili and decided to make cornbread to go with it. I had a few Jalapeño peppers staring me in the face and thought it might be a good idea to dice one up and make Jalapeño cornbread. The result was fabulous.

Gingerbread Men Cookies

December 20, 2014

These cookies are so cute that it makes one feel guilty biting into them. I love gingerbread cookies and the holidays just aren’t complete without serving family and friends homemade gingerbread men cookies. 

Gluten-Free Cookies

December 18, 2014

These easy, but not too sweet cookies are the perfect base for cutouts or decorations. The dough remains soft and workable even when rolled and recut several times. They also work well as drop cookies. 

Lemon Rosemary Potato Rolls

December 12, 2014

The good news about these homemade rolls is that you can make them ahead of time and pop them into the freezer until you’re ready to serve them.

Oatmeal Cranberry Pecan Cookies

December 9, 2014

I love my oatmeal cookies to be chewy, and this buttery dough delivers just that. Make sure to use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick-cooking oats. These Oatmeal Cranberry Pecan Cookies are the perfect holiday cookies. 

Holiday Sugar Cookies

December 8, 2014

Whether you’re going to a cookie exchange or just baking holiday cookies for your family, you’ll like this tried & true sugar cookie recipe. Make sure that you’re using natural ingredients, as the imitation stuff just isn’t the same. 

English Mary’s Mini Mince Pies

December 7, 2014

Bakers start your ovens! It’s holiday baking time and let’s kick off the season with my Yorkshire mother-in-law’s mini mince pie recipe. Mary isn’t with us anymore, but her delicious recipe lives on. I’m honored to share with you such a treasured recipe.  

Holiday Red Velvet Cake

December 3, 2014

The holidays deserve a special cake and Red Velvet Cake certainly delivers. The one complaint I do have about this cake is the use of food coloring. I always make sure to use an vegetable based food coloring like India Tree that you can get on Amazon, Sur La Table, or your natural food market.
