One of the first things I always think about on a beach trip is getting my toes in the sand and listening to the calming sound of the ocean waves rolling in. On my recent travels to Maui I spent quite a bit of time beachin’ and bakin’! Turned out to be great combination of […]
Cranberry-Nut Quick Bread by Cook’s Illustrated
Baking a loaf of Cranberry-Nut bread is an excellent way to use up any leftover or frozen cranberries you have from the Christmas holidays. I froze a couple of bags since these tart berries seem to be harder to find after the holidays. I like to keep a loaf of some type of quick or […]
Black Onyx Zucchini Cake
Black Onyx zucchini cake may be my favorite zucchini recipe to share with you. You probably thought that I was finished sharing zucchini recipes but no! This is the most moist, deepest, darkest chocolate zucchini cake ever. It pretends to be an overly indulgent cake but in reality it is simple, easy and not overly […]
LaFarm Bakery Tour

Blueberries are abundant this time of year and what better way to use them than in an easy crowd pleasing breakfast dish? What you need to know about this recipe is; the proportions are perfect for a crowd, […]
2012 – A Look Back
As the end of 2012 fast approaches I find myself reflecting back on events that took place in my life and kitchen. The biggest event in my life would be Miss T heading off to college, leaving her parents as “empty nesters”. I enjoyed the beautiful beaches of the BVI’s and USVI’s for the first […]
Honey Beer Bread
If you know me at all you know I’m continually looking for a way to blend honey into my recipes. It’s a cinch to drench a biscuit with honey, stir a spoonful into my tea, pour it over my yogurt or simply dip a finger into the jar and lick!
In My Kitchen
December 2, 2012 – In My Kitchen Today the temperature in north Texas is 78*. The air conditioner is running, I am wearing flip-flops and did I say, “it is December 2”! Crazy Texas weather…. we spent our day hanging Christmas lights in shorts and flip-flops. I enjoyed participating in Fig Jam and Lime Cordial’s “In My […]
