TWD: Apple Cheddar Scones - 7/1

This week’s TWD recipe was chosen by Karina of The Floured Apron. I had never made scones before so was excited to try something new again. The dough came together very easily and just as Dorie said it would. I used extra-sharp cheddar which added a great bite to the scones. [...]

TWD: Mixed Berry Cobbler - 6/24

My apologies for my tardiness on posting this. I actually baked this during the correct week and then my husband’s grandmother passed away keeping us a little more preoccupied then usual.

This recipe was chosen by Beth of Our Sweet Life. My favorite desserts have fruit in them and I especially love anything with [...]

Barefoot Bloggers - Pasta, Pesto & Peas

One of the reasons I was so excited to join Barefoot Bloggers was to try out new dishes that I wouldn’t have tried otherwise. Our fist dish was chosen by Elizabeth of Ugg Smell Food and it was definitely not something I would have picked myself. Neither my husband or I are [...]

TWD - La Palette’s Strawberry Tart

This week’s recipe was chosen by Marie at A Year in Oak Cottage. I was thrilled this was a Strawberry recipe as my husband and I had plans to go Strawberry picking. I couldn’t wait to turn our amazingly sweet and juicy strawberries into this rustic tart.

Fruit tarts are among my favorite [...]

TWD - French Chocolate Brownies

This weeks Tuesday’s with Dorie recipe is French Chocolate Brownies chosen by Di of Di’s Kitchen Notebook. My first thought was, “a French Brownie?” What exactly makes a brownie French and what nationality are all the other brownies?? All joking aside I was excited to try out a new Brownie Recipe [...]

I’ve been a fan of Ina’s for a while now and have been saving more and more of her recipes to try. [...]

TWD - Pecan Honey Sticky Buns - 5/27

This week’s TWD recipe is Pecan Honey Sticky Buns, chosen by Madam Chow at Madam Chow’s Kitchen. These Sticky Buns are made with a Brioche base making them even more luxurious! The dough gave my KitchenAid Mixer quite the workout. I was a little nervous making the dough as I’ve not had [...]

TWD - Orange Berry Muffins - 1/29

My husband loves blueberry muffins and I knew that these would become a fast favorite. I had just bought some delicious blueberry’s that I knew were going to work perfect. The combination of the orange and blueberry flavors and the moisture from the buttermilk made them the perfect morning breakfast.

I used an ice [...]

TWD - Quintuple Chocolate Brownies - 1/8

When I think of Brownies I think of my grandmother. She loved to make Betty Crocker Brownies from a mix and to this day they are still among my favorite brownies. I’m not a huge fan of really fudgy brownies with fudge on top but when I saw the recipes for the Quintuple [...]

TWD - Marshmallows - 4/15

To say that I love marshmallows is an understatement. I always have a bag in my pantry and love to eat them for a snack - especially when they are stale! My husband and I spend all summer in our backyard in front of our chiminea and of course no fire is complete [...]
