When it comes to cooking we are all in. This was a delight created by my oldest, Will. He’s a Martha Stewart fan. Not only is this recipe hers but the pan too. My son doesn’t have much time for cooking with all he does but according to Will this recipe was not only simple but quick. I say this is a Martha recipe worth keeping! Enjoy!

The perfect dessert for Father’s Day. Add a little dollop of sour cream or whipped creme fraiche to tame it down. Yep, it’s a dessert for those with a sweet tooth. Most dads I know love pie and my dad was no different. Use frozen blueberries if you can’t find fresh. I find frozen berries so much easier when baking. This recipe is so easy! So good!

These Portuguese Rolls or crusty buns are more accurately called Papo Secos … And sometimes called pops. Add linguica, vinha d’alhos or Portuguese meatballs, greens and a side of beans, and you have a wonderful meal. These are easy to make. The recipe makes 16 five-six inch rolls … not a large recipe … easily handled while putting other dishes together in a busy kitchen.
*I’m serving these for Super Bowl Sunday along with meatballs and linguica for those that want a meaty sandwich.
These are great right from the oven with just butter, too.
*YEP, this is a repost! One of the most popular 2020 posts! With my housekeeping here this post took on a strange appearance. My apologies while I make a few tweaks.
Love love pecan season. First up is a big batch of Spiced Candied Pecans. Great snacking but more often added to richen recipes. They’re the main ingredient in these deliciously rich scones. Make a great coffee or tea accompaniment. We like them with soup too.
Inspired by King Arthur Baking Company.
Mom’s recipe for Ice Box Cookies when Nucoa was a favorite cookie ingredient. No Nucoa here! If these cookies remind you of chocolate chip cookies without the chips … Yep, that’s what I taste. So, add chocolate chips if you like and you have homemade chocolate chip cookies at your fingertips. I keep a roll in the freezer for those immediate needs for family and friends. Add what you like and subtract the nuts if to your liking. Here are some great ingredients to add: assorted flavored chips, broken pretzels, crushed Butterfingers, crushed peppermint, your choice of nuts.
Whips up easily! Few ingredients … you have in your pantry. I woke up this morning craving homemade biscuits but wanted to try something that could be a standalone breakfast. Not that this biscuit in smaller form isn’t the perfect appetizer. I love the cheese and green chilies combination, but I found this quick recipe by Sargento that combines cheese and butter. Oh, and black pepper too. Rich, flakey and delicious!
Nothing like a donut with your coffee. My favorite are glazed raised donuts. Not only do raised donuts take some hours they go stale fast … although I have the practice of freezing them before that happens. Sometimes it works. What’s great about these?! They’re ready in 30 minutes. And go stale? Not! Not that quickly … if you have any left that is! What if you aren’t into Chai Spice? How about Apple Spice then? Or Pumpkin Spice? Or leave out the spice and add a drizzle of you favorite glaze.
With the right tools this whips up so fast you’ll be making bread every week. Yes, it’s really true … in less than an hour. The texture of the bread is perfect. And taste?! Slightly sweet with the moistness you want in a bread. There are no disappointments here. You’ll need a bread pot and the Emile Henry product doesn’t disappoint. I actually used my electric mixer with a bread hook … Something I almost never do when making bread. With this recipe I believe you can’t go without it for the best and easiest results.
Let’s get started with this easy bread recipe with the help of the Emile Henry people.
With a bread hook mixer this recipe speeds along. Prep time, 15 minutes and bake for 45. Amazing! The secret is this baking pot. No, I’m not advertising. It just is. 
Add this to your baking essentials if you’re into homemade yeast bread in no time. I haven’t shopped other brands but bet they’re out there. If you are home bound this can be ordered on line with Amazon too. (burgundy or charcoal) Need ingredients? You can’t go wrong with King Arthur.
