Christmas morning wouldn’t be complete without this gorgeous bread as a dining room table centerpiece. But, this lovely sweet bread is too good to make just once a year. Panettone 1/2 cup marsala or moscato 1 cup raisins 1/2 cup dried fruit (citron, apricots and/or candied […]
Sweet spices can be added to the recipe below. But, why? I think it’s much more interesting to allow the simple flavors of sweet potato and brown sugar to shine. Sweet Potato Bread 2 small roasted sweet potatoes, skins removed 1/4 cup light & fruity olive […]
This is a lovely golden brown crusted cornbread that has a bit of structure. It’s quite dense and moist. This allows the cornbread to be cut into slices instead of wedges or squares. One warm slice makes the perfect base for a sunny side up egg. If that’s my egg […]
There’s more than a little bit of molasses in this recipe. A lot more. It dominates the taste with ease. And, that large dose of molasses adds a density to this gingerbread that gives it an Old English feeling. I’m on the fence. I think I like it.

These are better than drop biscuits. Why? The finished biscuits are round and attractive… much prettier than the misshapen lumps that are known as drop biscuits. Biscuits 2 1/2 cups AP flour 1 Tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2 Tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon fine […]
There are two styles of bread pudding. There’s the creamy custardy type with chunks of identifiable bread. The other type is a dense, heavy (bordering on clunky) style that can be sliced into wedges. I enjoy both. The denser, sliceable style opens itself up to a number of sauce options. […]
This is a lovely quick bread with a dense texture similar to pound cake. But, it’s quite tart… by design. I love the sweet-tart aspect of lemon bars. So, my intent was to mimic that in a cake. Some might find it to be too tart. So, consider this fair […]
These biscuits are quite edible. (We taste tested them.) And, Portia (our whippet) gobbles them up faster than I can bake them. I’m not sure if this is a great recipe for more sedentary dogs. But, for our speedy little whippet, they’re great.

Fig + Ginger + Sugar = Yum
This isn’t really a recipe. It’s a bit like recycled food. After two weeks of fig preserve, we wanted something new to accompany our morning toast. So, I took what was left over from my 5 cups of […]
The first ripe figs are almost bursting after this weekend’s heavy rain. Our brown turkey fig tree is littered with green figs that will ripen any day. Today, we had about two overflowing handfuls of ripe figs.
