Sweet Potato Pancakes

We love pancakes in this house.  Especially with lots of butter and syrup.  I love hearing my son ask for syrup; not because he needs lots of sugar or anything, but because of the way he says syrup.  It’s not “sear-up”.  It’s “sur-up”. But when I feel deviating from our usual recipe, I…

Garden Herb Bread

Fresh bread can “make” a meal for me.  I love the way it smells while it is baking, and the taste of warm bread from the oven.  The downside to freshly baked bread, however, is that it often takes several hours to make! What I love about this bread is that not only…

Apple Pie with Crumb Topping

My husband likes to stop and visit with people.  Here recently, he stopped by a vineyard a little less than 15 miles from us.  Before they planted a vineyard, they planted a whole bunch of apple trees.  And the generous old man who started the vineyard thought it would be fun to take…

Banana Oat Bread

It never fails… No matter how much I try to carefully count out the number of bananas I think our family will consume before they turn super-ripe, I often end up with a few extra that ripen beyond what we like to eat.  I have two other banana recipes (another bread, and some…

Pretzel Dogs

Awhile back, I was watching one of those behind-the-scenes food shows on television, which detail how your favorite things to eat are made.  There was a segment on a pretzel shop and how they make their popular soft pretzels.  The host of the show casually mentioned they also sell “pretzel dogs”, and the…

White Chocolate & Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

Oatmeal cookies are so versatile.  Plain, with raisins, with butterscotch chips… But my favorite version, with cranberries and white chocolate, is just ever so slightly above butterscotch chips!  The best thing about this recipe, is that you can make all of those different kinds just from this single base recipe.  All you need…

No-Bake Granola Bites

We love granola in this house.  In pretty much every form possible.  Plain ol’ granola for sprinkling on yogurt… Even in bars.  This is an all-new way to enjoy granola for us: in bites!  I made these No-Bake Granola Bites to be a healthy snack for my 2 1/2 year old (okay, okay……

Soft & Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

Growing up, we didn’t have very many peanut butter cookies.  Especially soft peanut butter cookies.  Mostly because they were the exact opposite of everything my dad likes in a cookie.  First of all, he doesn’t like peanut butter.  Second, he loves a crunchy cookie.  However, I have got to say, these are some…
