Oatmeal. Cheap, filling, and good for you. There’s something about oatmeal made with cinnamon, apples and currants that says comfort to me. It’s easy and a great way to use up that less than crisp apple in the fridge. As a bonus, it makes the…
T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring…actually, not true. Me, I was stirring…eggs for this recipe. I have made Best of Bridge’s Christmas Morning “Wife” Saver in the past and am all for not having to cook…
This recipe is a slight adaptation of Nicole’s recipe from Gluten-free on a Shoe String’s awesome Gluten-free Morning Glory Muffin recipe. If you are looking for a great source of tasty gluten-free recipes…her site is one of the best I’ve seen. Thank you Nicole for…

I am still working my way through The Dahlia Bakery Cookbook. Sorry kids no fruit and veg this week…but how about some SNAILS ahahaha. Schnecken is the German word for snail and the term given to a rather lovely gooey treat similar to the Chelsea…
More goodness from the Dahlia Bakery Cookbook: Sweetness in Seattle. Tonight I made the Apple Raisin Compote but since my kids hate raisins and I like cranberries I used cranberries instead and it worked out YUM. Then because I had buttermilk in the fridge that…
