I always get very excited to see the TWD recipes for the month when they are first posted, although I had some mixed feelings about the Corniest Corn Muffins. While I loooove a good corn muffin, I think of them more as a deep in the heart of winter sort of thing, to be served … Continue reading
My Love Affair with Biscoff
I don’t generally have a whole lot of background story to most of my posts. In fact, I could generally sum them up with either “TWD” or “I was craving…” But there’s a wee bit of a story to this so here goes. A couple years ago, I got a note saying that my USAirways … Continue reading
This Year’s Secret Cupid
SOMEhow I managed to pick the name of the healthiest girl in the office. Snort. Like healthy as in sustains on veggies and Laughing Cow, does regular “juice cleanses” and can keep a big bowl of M&M’s on her desk without burying her head in them. So, my approach this year was slightly different and … Continue reading
TWD: Toasted Almond Scones
I’ll be short, sweet, and to the point on this one. These were 1) super easy, and that’s coming from someone who has a history of fouling up any recipe that has something about not “overworking” or “overmixing” the dough, 2) smelled really good – how could toasted almonds and butter NOT smell good!, and … Continue reading
TWD: Chocolate Oatmeal Drops
I’ve gone on a baking frenzy. Typing this post right now, these cookies don’t come up as our weekly recipe for another two weeks! But, I got in the mood and basically baked for a whole weekend. Actually, truth be told, two whole weekends. More fruits of my labor to be posted soon. ð I … Continue reading
These Would Be Cute For Valentine’s Day (if you celebrate it…)
As I’ve said before, I have never really loved Valentines Day. Well, maybe since I was in grammar school. But yes, when it comes around, I do celebrate it by sending my friends goofy cards, and doing our office Secret Cupid and by baking things that are Valentine-ish, just because it’s fun to have a reason to. … Continue reading
I had a craving…
Ever have one of those really strange cravings, and you’re not really sure where it came from, but you can’t get it out of your head? That’s what happened to me the other night. I couldn’t stop thinking about cranberry pecan bread…not quick bread/sweet bread, but rather that baguette style that the wine bars always seem to … Continue reading
TWD: Great Grains Muffins
As usual, I busted out the mini muffin pan for these. I just find that they are easier to give away when they are minis…the full size muffin is way more of an investment. And plus, I get to spread the wealth a little more! (And yes, I bake to give away…I could never possibly … Continue reading
TWD: Nutty Chocolatey Swirly Sour Cream Bundt Cake
And what on earth could possibly NOT be fabulous about a cake with that name!!! I mean, YUM. My only swap was cranberries for raisins…oh, and I realized halfway into it that I was slightly short on the sour cream, so I topped it off with some plain Greek Yogurt. But otherwise, I really enjoyed … Continue reading
TWD: Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
I am horrified. I cannot BELIEVE it has been more than 2 months since my last post!! Shame, shame, shame on me. I guess that’s what happens around the holidays though. I mean, I am sure that I baked up a storm, and there’s a good chance I even have pictures of everything, but somehow … Continue reading
