The recipe I want to share with you today I made last week. I will share that it really is best the day of; though I don’t recall ever having a cinnamon bun or cake the next day that blew my socks off. The family all really liked it enough to have more than one piece so that may not be a problem for you. … Continue reading Danish Coffee Cake
I like sweets; though sometimes they can be too sweet. I don’t believe I have ever had a slice of pecan pie. At least I cannot recall ever having a slice, I know I would never order it especially after everyone saying its VERY sweet and I know I have never made one. So when … Continue reading Sweet Pecan Bar
I made a lovely cake this past week for our #worldwidewednesday. I wasn’t sure how it was going to come out and I don’t have time to make another one to share with you my usual picture montage of how I make things but this was so good I wanted to share it with you. Plus it was really easy to make. My cake is … Continue reading Tunisian Orange Cake
Happy Father’s Day!!! This is probably not the first thing that comes to mind of what to make for the men in your life. Personally my husband would and does love this. When you think of Father’s Day – I am sure you think of Grilling something, technically you could grill some fish and spoon this mango salsa over it. I am pretty sure it … Continue reading Baked Cod and Mango Salsa
My home is currently super quiet, I can only hear the windchimes out on the porch and it is a lovely feeling. The sun is shining and I wish it was not so chilly out there, maybe we could pick up some of the tree debris from the “snomageddon” we had here a few weeks ago. Yes we still have quite a bit of snow … Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Cake
I have a love dislike relationship when it comes to focaccia bread. I love bread don’t get me wrong but I have had some delicious focaccia and some terrible focaccia bread over the years; this one is a keeper. Most of my disappointment comes from it being too dry or stale even. It comes to not calorie worthy and that is saying something when it … Continue reading Focaccia Bread
I made these cookies last week for our #worldwidewednesday family dinner. They were crazy good and I will be adding these; not only to my Christmas baking list but I have plans to make them later today. We have family up for the weekend and who doesn’t need a little treat now and again. The original recipe asked for guava paste but I could not … Continue reading Shortbread thumbprint cookies – Mantecaditos
After a couple of years hiatus we had our annual Christmas party last night. I decided to keep it small, which ended up being a really good idea. We had a Friday snowstorm with a foot of heavy wet snow. For those of you that knows what that means is power outages; and lots of them. The dog got me up crazy early Saturday morning … Continue reading Butter Cookies – Norwegian Serinakaker
Sitting here at the island enjoying my cup of tea and one; OK more than one apple crumb bar. They are really good and if you have any leftover apples, around 5-7 small to medium apples you should make these today. I added more apples (10) than I probably should have to make it easier to eat but I am not complaining. Actually just mentioned … Continue reading Apple Crumb Bars
Plans tend to change pretty quickly around here. My father-in-law ended up and is still in the hospital, he is doing much better but still going to be a few days. I’ll take my mother-in-law to see him again a little late today. There were 9 for breakfast here this morning which is why I am running a little late to posting. I wasn’t really … Continue reading Polish Gingerbread Cookies
