Coffeecake with a spongelike texture … Definitely a different take on coffeecake. This is a sweet eggy moist cake that’s perfect with coffee or tea. It’s pretty much a pantry ingredient recipe … freeing you up to make this just about anytime. Give yourself or family a morning treat with this delicious cake. You say you don’t have yogurt! You know the substitutions, right? Sour cream, buttermilk, blended cottage cheese to name a few.
Amazingly simple! Deliciously rich! Quick mix with a somewhat lengthy bake. So worth it! For the recipe ingredients I received a little help from Fannie Farmer. Yep, I grew up on canned brown bread … so, no family recipe. Homemade is so much better! Add a medley of seedless raisins or no raisins at all. It’s delicious.

King Arthur Baking Products are high on my list. Nope, this isn’t a paid advertisement! I receive their free catalog routinely, and it’s one catalog I actually look through. Great recipes are included along with product suggestions. Their recipes are not included without their trial run. (Neither are my recipes, BTW.) Yep, you guessed it! This is one of theirs. I had all the ingredients (*well not white whole wheat flour) and we were hungry for muffins now. These didn’t disappoint!
*Just a word about whole wheat flour vs white whole wheat flour. As I mentioned this recipe calls for white whole white flour. I used whole wheat flour instead. White whole wheat flour is not simply bleached whole wheat. It’s actually a different wheat which leads to a less dense baked product. While my muffins were perfect I can’t say they might have been better if I had used white whole wheat flour instead.
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!
