I love a good breakfast. This baked apple pancake immediately caught my eye on social media, especially with cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg included. This baked apple pancake is like a stuffed popover, the edges are crisp, the apples are tender, and the pecans add a delicious crunch. This is similar to German Pancakes, but areRead more
I’d never made Hot Cross Buns before last year when I decided to give them a try to take to the Easter breakfast potluck. Now I wish I’d grown up with them being a yearly tradition. These rolls are fantastic! They have a slightly sweet dough that’s absolutely perfect. The currants add a little extraRead more
As you know, I have a fondness for baked oatmeal. Since my current abode is lacking a working oven for the time being, I’ve made do with the very best oatmeal. However, with the season is changing, I’m looking forward to baked oatmeals. I made this this week when visiting my parents, and it’s delicious. It packsRead more
I’ve been holding out on you. I made this recipe last year, but never had a picture and then it wasn’t pear season anymore, so I never got to share it. So this year, I got to it nice and early, so you can make it again and again while pears are easily accessible. ThisRead more
This quick bread is a great way to use up some of the last zucchini of the summer, and mixes in carrots and apple, making a nice tender crumb. I left out the chocolate chips to keep this more of a breakfast bread, and it’s just lightly sweetened. If you prefer a sweeter bread feelRead more
Fall is my favorite season. I love the smell of fall, when the weather is cool and damp. I love the first signs of fall on leaves on the sentinel trees in my childhood neighborhood, they were always the first indicators that fall was really here as the tips turned yellow, then vibrant orange. AndRead more
This is a fantastic rice pudding. I think I like it even better than my previous rice pudding. This is very easy to put together since the rice is already cooked. The spices can be altered as desired for your favorite flavor, but I adore the cardamom in this. I was a little afraid theRead more
These muffins are fantastic. I doubled the original recipe (because 9 muffins that the original made is way too few), and then as Mom and I helped ourselves to a second, and Dad said he liked them. We decided we needed to make more. So I made another batch, this time tripling the original soRead more
The pear cake that I’d originally planned to use just didn’t turn out very well. So I turned to this recipe from Grandma that’s saved me in the past. This cake turned out great! It’s lightly spiced with the cardamom, and is moist and tender from the pear. It’s a great light cake that wouldRead more
My favorite Finn, who introduced me to Finnish Oven Pancakes, makes fantastic Finnish Cinnamon Rolls. These rolls are delicate and lightly sweetened, the dough is spiced with cardamom and the middle is spread with cinnamon. While these aren’t nearly as sweet or decadent as your typical American sticky buns, they’re light and doughy and utterlyRead more
