lemon bread loaf

I wish I wasn’t such an impulsive baker, because as much as I appreciate the rule “read the recipe before making”, I very often do not; especially when a recipe is for something I make all the time. In this case, it was a lemon bread which I made yesterday morning to go with …

Pillsbury Marshmallow Flower

As hostess of this giveaway, I was given a hand-held video and asked to come up with a baking project perfect for spring.

Carrot Cake cookies

After baking a batch of carrot cake cookies from Bon Appetit, I decided to do a side-by-side taste test with an older carrot cake cookie. The results? I like my old recipe better

Carrot Cake Cookies

Today’s recipe is from an “At the Market” feature in the May Bon Appetit. Along with some info about carrots (they’re a super food, packed with vitamin A, etc. etc.) they discuss where carrots came from, how to pick good ones, and ways to use them. There was a soup that sounded good, a recipe [...]

Funfetti Cupcake Clone

Earlier this week I was asked if I had a scratch recipe for Funfetti Cupcakes. My friend liked the box version (Betty Crocker’s is called Rainbow Chip and Pillsbury’s is Funfetti), but she’s living in Europe where it’s hard to find.
