This Pita Bread is about 1000 times better than store bough pita, which I didn’t like before I tasted this.  We make it quite often around here and keep it in the freezer as it reheats beautifully.  This calls for bread flour but if you don’t have any available you could sure use all purpose. […]

We always have over ripe bananas around here.  I don’t much care for fresh bananas but I love anything baked with bananas.  This is one of my current favorites, as I also love anything with a streusel topping, cinnamon and granola….all of them shine in this recipe! If you don’t have any granola, it’s ok […]

Another great use for leftover hearty greens that you are afraid you can’t use before they go bad.  You can use Arugula, Spinach, Kale, Swiss Chard, any mix of greens, nuts and cheese (or none) that you have on hand.  Great as a dip with fresh vegetables, on bread, tossed with warm pasta, potatoes or […]

Alternate Black Bean Filling included

When life gives you lemons….. Funny that these look so much like a sunny side up egg, as anyone who knows me well knows I loathe fried eggs!  I quickly got past that when I first ate one of these!  For the crust I use any leftover cookie that I have on hand, sugar cookies, […]

  Since our big Easter Celebration and Hunt didn’t happen this year, I had lots of leftover Easter Candy.  We also make these at Halloween and Christmas with all of our leftover “house candy” that always seems to be laying about.  These are quick and easy with minimal ingredients and minimal clean up.  I stick […]

Sometimes we have too much zucchini.  It happens.  Do this.  These little loaves make a simple and homey ending to a meal or a sweet beginning to the day with a cup of tea or coffee.  I especially love the streusel topping.     Zucchini Oat Nut Bread makes 2 medium loaves or 4 small […]

  I’ve been shipping soaps, body butter, cleaner and pup wash to some of our regular customers who are already in love with our  house made products. We use them here in the Kitchen and in our guest rooms. For Hand Soaps, we have two custom blends to choose from and they are made with […]

          As promised to go with the fresh baked bread some of us are trying to bake each day for comfort and sharing….this oil is crazy good on all kinds of things.  Even the stems of leftover herbs give this oil tons of flavor.  When you have bits and pieces of […]

What better time than now to bake some bread at home!  It’s a satisfying and rewarding task.  The bread is so much better than store bought and it’s such a comforting thing to do.  This bread mixes up in just a few minutes, rises once for about an hour in a bowl then a second […]

I’m cooking a lot these days, even more than usual.   Trying to stay busy and sharing the love by dropping some dinners at back doors and gates.  Being creative with what I have, using up leftovers or things I’m going to lose if I don’t use! I had some unused avocados from a canceled […]

This was crazy delicious!  Adapted from Cuisine Magazine, it’s moist, like a carrot cake, gooey like a traditional pineapple upside down cake and it develops a wonderful crunchy-caramel-y edge in the iron skillet in the oven.  The toasted pecans in the batter are a must and it got me thinking this would work great with […]
