It’s a very special day today… My son turns 5! It has been amazing watching him grow and learn. Every day he is taller and smarter than the last. I am so proud of him! He loves to help me out in the kitchen, and I hope that he will continue to be…

Seeded Crescent Twists
Here’s a twist on traditional crescent rolls… Seeded Crescent Twists! The seeds add lots of flavor and a little crunch. These quick breadsticks are a great accompaniment to many main dishes: from soups, to pastas, and more.
Glazed Pumpkin Bread
It’s that time of year… Time for Pumpkin Everything! Bake up a couple of these subtly spiced loaves, drizzle with glaze, and share with your family and friends! They will be so happy you did.
No Knead Bread
No Knead Bread is one of my favorite breads to bake. It is so simple to put together. The crust is nice and crispy, and it goes perfectly with just about any meal. The only bad thing about it is that you have to plan at least one day ahead. It is not…

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…
Soft Pretzels
Soft pretzels are a fun project for your next get-together. I recently took these to a Super Bowl party, and they were a hit! The crust is chewy and slightly crisp, while the inside remains soft and delicious.
Bierocks
Bierocks (also known as cabbage burgers by my husband’s family) are considered a German treat around these parts. They are rolls filled with a combination of ground beef, cabbage, and onions. Bierocks freeze exceptionally well, so be sure to make extra to have some around for later!
