Egg Nests

February 4, 2012

We have a tradition of sorts, around these parts.  That is: come weekend mornings, we ditch our boring weekday breakfast routine of oatmeal or yogurt and indulge in something far more caloric.  And tasty, too.  This morning, we woke to found that someone had finished off the milk with chocolate chip cookies last night, so [...]

Lemon Cranberry Bundt Cake

January 20, 2012

Every year I make Jeff a different treat for his birthday.  This year, it was a Bundt cake.  A lemon-cranberry Bundt cake to be precise.  And a very well received one at that.  This was one of the rare treats that pleased every palate in the house.  The cake itself is very fresh and tart, [...]

Caramel Apple Cocktail

November 19, 2011

After I posted my Thanksgiving menu, I got an email inbox surge with requests for recipes.  The most requested?  Definitely the caramel apple cocktail.  Hmm.  I wonder what that says about my readers? I went ahead and practiced the technique pre-Thanksgiving.  You know.  For research purposes.  It was strictly business. I’m happy to report that [...]

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

October 29, 2011

Every once in awhile I come across a recipe worthy of its very own page in my personal recipe collection.  Such was the case a couple of months ago when I discovered the muffins.  Honestly, I think they’re more a dessert than breakfast, but who am I to argue with a recipe title?  Muffins are [...]
