I barely squeaked by for this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings project. I originally planned to make these for dessert on Valentine’s Day, but schedules intervened and Lacy Panty Cakes had to wait. They were calling to me when I woke up yesterday morning. I convinced Larry to run out for graham crackers and had the [...]

Thanksgiving is as much about the turkey and all the traditional side dishes as it is about the leftovers. My preference is for a classic turkey sandwich – good bread, lots of mayo. Larry will eat some variation of Thanksgiving for days, but this year he spotted a recipe for a strata that he thought [...]
These grits are supposedly breakfast food, but I made them right around dinnertime on a night I didn’t have any other dinner planned. Both Larry and I had other places to go, so I ate some straight out of the pan, standing up, then got some manners and put some in a bowl. I don’t [...]
I’m not much of a breakfast person, but I’ll eat waffles anytime. I really wanted to like these but was a little disappointed. The perfect waffle is crisp on the outside, light and airy inside. I don’t like to muck up the waffle with any syrup or anything, either. Maybe some butter and that’s it. [...]
After years of working from the same granola recipe, making modifications to suit my tastes just so… I’ve gone on a granola bender. I can’t help myself. Every time I see another granola recipe (and there are a lot out there), I’m compelled to make it. I love this version, but I made a couple [...]
We’re not the type of people to stick hard to tradition. And neither one of us has family close and we don’t like to travel during the holidays, so we usually spend them with friends. I grew up in a Catholic family where tradition was what made everything right in the world. Year after year, [...]
I love scones, but it turns out I don’t particularly like meaty scones. Bacon is good and all, but it doesn’t make everything better. I like a variety of types of scones – from a light, delicate cream scone, to a hearty oat scone. They’re all good. And it’s fine with a bit of flavoring [...]
I rarely make myself breakfast – it’s just not my favorite meal of the day. Some fruit and yogurt or maybe cereal or oatmeal is about all I can stomach. Along those lines, porridge is one of those things that appeals to me in the morning. This isn’t a quick meal – it takes at [...]
I’m clearly going through a granola phase. It was that Eleven Madison Park granola that got me started again. Larry wants my honey-almond granola again, and that’ll be the next batch. I needed this double coconut granola first. The coconut in the recipe is in two forms – solid coconut chips (large flakes) and coconut [...]
Two days in a row, I found myself awake at 4am, thinking about pancakes. I don’t know why, but as I lay there hoping to get back to sleep, I thought about what kind of pancakes I liked, pondered which ones I wanted to make, and mentally inventoried the pantry and refrigerator. On the second [...]
