Until I learned how to make a pie crust, I could not call myself a baker. I got out books from the library, studied the science and practiced with Lorraine’s fantastic recipe (Reg’s mom). I played around with the recipe and came up with my own version and am finally sharing it with you! The […]
Meaghan Thornhill’s Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
“My cheddar biscuits are perfect as a quick snack before milking… They freeze well, so I bake a double batch to save time!” ~ Meaghan Thornhill It is officially cold here and there is nothing more comforting than homemade biscuits, at least not to me. Add some cheddar and garlic? Pure winter comfort food. All […]
Strawberry Nutella Cheesecake Turnovers
I made these Strawberry Nutella Cheesecake Turnovers with my very own homemade puff pastry. Which was not easy. It was still cold here so rolling out the dough and butter was next to impossible. Luckily, it was worth it. Homemade puff pastry is astounding but I doubt I will ever make it again. Feel free […]
Jamie’s Blueberry Crisp
My sister Jamie had mentioned she had made a super-easy blueberry crisp and I wanted in on that action! Wild blueberries were on sale. The timing was perfect! The Recipe In a bowl combine 4 cups fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tsp lemon juice. Mix to combine evenly then pour […]
Homemade English Muffins
I made mini English muffins the other day to product test Wendell Estate Honey and realized, why not share the recipe? The great thing about English muffins is you do not bake them, they are cooked in a pan or on the grill. Perfect for making treats in the summer. The first time I made them they […]
Anna Olson’s Orchard Fruit Danishes
Mini Nutella Mouse Ears
It is so funny how inspiration comes knocking on our kitchen door. I had this old-ish and small-ish piece of puff pastry left that I had no idea what to do with. Then I remembered Ina Garten’s recipe for Cinnamon Elephant Ears. I realized, I can do something like that! We still have not received “official” word […]
Gordon Ramsay’s Tomato and Rosemary Focaccia
I wanted to take a break from doing product reviews and get back to my food. Sadly, I screwed this up. It was almost perfect but then I did something stupid and absolutely deserve to get screamed out of Hell’s Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay. I adore Gordon Ramsay and love his show Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Cookery […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day is here! Whether you love it or hate it, why not enjoy some treats today?! Make them for someone you care about or just for you. I won’t tell! Although my Romantic Bloody Halloween Pastry Heart does not sound particularly appealing to the traditional romantic, for someone like me who prefers to watch horror movies […]
Glo McNeill’s Killer Krispie Bars
These are are super easy to make, if you have the ingredients. Which are not unusual but considering I tried to make them three times before I had everything I needed… it shows just how rarely I am getting to the store these days. The recipe comes from the lovely Glo McNeill‘s new cookbook Cooking with Glo: […]
