Bubble Bread

If you stayed the night at my house when I was growing up, chances are you’ve had my mom’s Bubble Bread.  The gooey rolls were always a big hit with me and my friends, and everyone always looked forward to breakfast!  These rolls are simple to put together, and delicious to devour.  Some…

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Everyone needs a good recipe for cinnamon swirl bread.  I absolutely love this recipe, and I think you will as well.  The buttermilk keeps the bread moist and gives it a slight tang.  What’s better than sliced bread?  Sliced cinnamon swirl bread! And if you’re interested, here’s an update as to where I’ve…

PW’s Vanilla Scones

The other day I wanted to try something a little different than my usual scones.  I can’t say that I’ve ever had any real vanilla beans on hand (I know, I’m missing out!), so I adapted a recipe from The Pioneer Woman, a.k.a. PW.  These Vanilla Scones are delicious, whether you have real…

Raspberry Lemonade Bars

I was browsing Tastespotting one day (which, by the way, is an excellent site for inspiration), and came upon a lovely photo of “Raspberry Lemonade Bars”.  I was instantly taken back to dinner scenes from my youth.  When I was growing up, we would travel to “the big city” to do some major…

It’s incredibly simple,…

Cream Cheese Frosting

I’m not going to try to avoid the question on this one, I’ll just start with the honest truth:  I’ve made ONE traditional cake from scratch.  Once.  That’s it.  It was some time ago, and I don’t remember it being that amazing.  Boxed mixes, my friends, is about as far as it gets…

Great Grandma Sara’s Banana Bread

The smell of this bread warms my heart… just like a family recipe should.  Serve this banana bread warm with butter, and you are in for a special treat! Might I add that a certain 13.5-month-old can’t seem to get enough of it?  Well, my son would probably eat the whole loaf if…

Tender Flaky Pie Crust

I posted this recipe initially when I wrote about Lemon Meringue Pie (which tasted delicious but looked like, well, goo?).  I thought the crust deserved a post of its own.  Tender Flaky Pie crust is great for dessert pies or even savory pies. Especially which featured how I roll out crusts… It would…
