Joy Bauer’s Pumpkin Pancakes

Autumn is finally here, and with the changing of the leaves, so changes my diet to include more pumpkin. It’s practically a requirement, am I right? Really, pumpkin is an extremely healthy ingredient (rich in the anti-oxidant beta carotene) that could (and should!) be used year-round. There is just something about this time of year,……

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble

This Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble is the perfect fruity dessert for summer with a wonderful balance of sweet and tart flavors! The crumble topping adds an irresistible crunch, and the whole thing can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated, and baked when you are ready to serve. [amd-recipeseo-recipe:7] Yum, strawberries. I am so excited for this……

Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting

This is a fantastic, versatile bread that can be eaten for dessert, breakfast, or just as a snack. I’m also including a basic recipe for cream cheese frosting, because well, pumpkin and cream cheese were made to be together. Mmmm. I love this bread because it reminds me of my favorite dessert in the entire……

As I was looking for canned pumpkin in the grocery store, I started to panic because I couldn’t find it in the usual spots (canned veggies/fruits aisle, and the baking aisle). I ended up……

Honey Oat Dinner Rolls

So, I was in the mood to make my own bread yesterday. It’s a lot easier than it’s made out to be , and cheaper than buying bread at the store. You can make them plain or add any herbs/flavorings you want; I chose honey-oat because I’ve been on a honey kick ever since I……

Cookie Icing

This recipe is for icing that works great on cookies – especially sugar cookies. The addition of meringue powder causes the icing to harden, so that the cookies can easily be stacked and transported without worrying about damaging the icing. You can also make the icing any consistency. In this example I made it thin……

Perfect Sugar Cookies

Today I’m posting the recipe I use for making rolled sugar cookies. I have used many different recipes, but this one is far and away the best. The flavor is not too sweet, and not too flour-y. To me, they are just right. Hopefully you enjoy them as much as I do! 😀 This recipe……
