I’m one of those people that will make the recipe off the back of the box – in this morning’s case, I followed the recipe off the back of the avocado bag and made some quite tasty Avocado Pumpkin Muffins. I didn’t have white whole-wheat flour so I used all-purpose – that’s it’s purpose, right?… Continue reading 3.28.2021

Saturday!!! Yay!!! This morning was about quick and easy – I toyed with the idea of making the Pumpkin-Cranberry Pecan Bread and/or the Danish Puff – they took too long and after an emotionally draining week, I just didn’t want to play. So, hello Bisquick! I followed the Ultimate Pancake Recipe on the back of… Continue reading 3.27.2021

I tried the Slow Cooker Sauerbraten Beef – odd combination of… Continue reading 3.19.2021

The good thing about quick bread recipes is that they’re just that, quick! No need for yeast, and letting the dough rise, just mix, knead, form and put it in the oven to bake.… Continue reading Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 3.17.2021

Today was a day for doughnuts!! Super simple recipe – only had a few questions with the recipe. Step one states to beat the ingredients with an electric mixer on low speed – is that handheld or stand? I used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer with the paddle attachment with built in scraper. Seemed to… Continue reading 3.14.2021

This morning I made the Stir n Roll Biscuits. My son ate quite a few – surprising, since he only eats the food the daycare makes – #winning! The recipe was super simple! I was a bit surprised the recipe called for vegetable oil when most biscuit recipes call for shortening or butter. I figured… Continue reading 3.13.2021
