Sticky Buns! They’re not something you can eat every day, but occasionally you have to find a justifiable reason to bake them. Having invited some guests for brunch on the patio last Sunday seemed reason enough for me. Growing up in the Pennsylvania Dutch area I was first introduced to sticky buns at an early…

Mom’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Mother’s Day began for me on Friday when my husband thoughtfully brought home some gorgeous orange tulips. I have become partial to orange flowers lately, and tulips are one of my favorites. He figured I might as well enjoy them for the whole weekend, and he figured right. Then on Saturday I received a floral…
Cinnamon Buns
I haven’t made cinnamon buns in a very long time. When I was first married I will admit to thinking Pillsbury’s Poppin’ Fresh Cinnamon Rolls in that little tube sold from the freezer case at the grocery store were pretty darn good. After some years had gone by, and my baking skills advanced to a…
Meyer Lemon Curd
When cooking during the winter months, the natural order of things is to decide on a dish and shop for whatever ingredients you might need to make it. Common sense, right? Whereas in late spring and summer when the farmer’s markets are in full force I like to buy what looks particularly great and then…
Smoked Trout Spread
This Smoked Trout Spread is delicious on little toasts or crackers and makes a great appetizer. I love smoked whitefish when served for brunch with bagels and smoked salmon. I’ve also made a delicious smoked whitefish salad by adding finely chopped celery, fresh dill, lemon juice, and a small amount of mayonnaise to the flaked…
Chloe’s Raspberry Buttermilk Pancakes
For Father’s Day I made one of my husband’s favorite breakfasts…buttermilk pancakes with a fresh berry sauce and a side of applewood smoked bacon. When my husband eats pancakes you will never find a drop of maple syrup on his plate. The fact that I love maple syrup, the real stuff that is, not the…
Pumpkin Bread
If it’s October it must be Pumpkin Bread! This is a delicious quick bread recipe my sister first made years ago, and I’ve been making ever since tasting my first slice. It’s a simple loaf to make… add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, fold in the raisins and walnuts, and into the loaf…
Breakfast Bread Pudding
Yesterday we had some family and friends over for Sunday brunch. The weather was perfect so we began by having a pitcher of Bloody Marys and some shrimp on the patio. I will share the shrimp dish with you on a future post. The rest of the menu included homemade waffles and Ina Garten’s Breakfast…
Blueberry Muffins And Blogs
This morning I woke up early, grabbed a cup of coffee, and started looking at food blogs, the number of which seems endless. Until I began this blog recently I had not spent much time searching them out. I found it quite inspiring. I would like to share with you two which I particularly enjoyed…smitten…
