I’ve loved breakfast pastries for years, and especially cheese Danish. Although I don’t remember ever eating the cream-cheese variety until an adult, they fascinated me immediately. I enjoy the sweet, rich cream inside flaky, buttery dough, and I’ve always wanted to try to bake it. I didn’t, though. It seemed quite intimidating, and while I’ve… Continue reading Easy Strawberry-Cheese Danish

Mile-High Buttermilk Pancakes
I’ve got this thing for pancakes. I love fluffy, rich pancakes dripping with syrup. Of course, I don’t actually like the huge amounts of empty calories that accompany those tall stacks of sticky goodness, so for years I’ve been trying to create a recipe that would keep the tasty goodness but put some nutrition back… Continue reading Mile-High Buttermilk Pancakes
Chocolate-drizzled Strawberry Crepes
It’s been a while since we ate crepes, and with an abundance of strawberries and a reader’s suggestion, we made them for dinner the other night. Now, we do not normally serve chocolate as part of our main course; we rarely even eat dessert, but with ganache in the fridge, this meal just screamed out… Continue reading Chocolate-drizzled Strawberry Crepes
Apple Pie Enchiladas
A few days ago I was thinking about all the things I’d like to do with a few bushels of apples – but I only had two Granny Smiths in the fridge. After thinking over my options and our need for a quick, yummy breakfast, I came up with this dish. The kids and I loved… Continue reading Apple Pie Enchiladas
Whole Wheat Pinch-Me Cake
I remember helping my mom make Pinch-Me Cake as a little girl. I loved rolling the yeasty dough into balls and covering it with cinnamon and sugar. It smelled wonderful while it was baking and tasted even better later when we ate it. There was something special about the eating of it, too. Once, for… Continue reading Whole Wheat Pinch-Me Cake
Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls
Our favorite Sunday morning breakfast is homemade cinnamon rolls. I can mix these up on a Saturday afternoon, throw everything into the bread machine, and then have them rolled out and assembled in minutes. With some fruit on the side, we can have a special breakfast without too much fuss.
Steal-Good Pumpkin Bread
When my grandmother visited a few weeks ago, I was determined to make pumpkin bread for her. She loves it, but since she lives alone now, she rarely cooks or bakes for herself. I made a batch of this pumpkin bread, and we ate some for breakfast one day, and a bit more with some… Continue reading Steal-Good Pumpkin Bread
Spiced Applesauce Bread
My Little Man and I made this applesauce bread for our trip to Disney. It became our breakfast for the car ride down, and although I thought everyone would want a cereal bar or some fruit to go with it, but they didn’t. A second slice of this hearty bread kept everyone happy for hours.… Continue reading Spiced Applesauce Bread
Pink Lemonade Doughnuts
I made these Pink Lemonade Doughnuts just before my Big Helper’s birthday a few weeks ago, and she was super excited. A huge lemonade fan, she loved the tartness of these doughnuts – and their pretty pink color didn’t hurt, either! I loved how quick and easy these doughnuts are to make. If you pipe the… Continue reading Pink Lemonade Doughnuts
Perfectly Pumpkin Waffles
My family can’t decide if they like pancakes or waffles better. Pancakes are definitely faster to make, so I do that more often – but sometimes a good waffle just seems like a decadent meal. So, one night when the weather began to hint at fall, we made these waffles for dinner. I adapted our… Continue reading Perfectly Pumpkin Waffles
