Quick Fresh Apple or Pear Coffee Cake
Our home in Lebanon was filled with the comings and goings of company during the months surrounding Christmas. Since mom usually had on hand the Master Baking Mix (October 15 blog post) ingredients and the abundant fresh fruit of Lebanon, her quick go-to crowd pleasing coffee cake was the featured item of a winter’s morning breakfast.

Southern Cornbread with a Twist
We’re continuing to use our Master Baking Mix posted back in October to whip up fast and easy baked goods to accompany our holiday meals.

Muffins from Master Baking Mix
Holidays are around the corner. We’re waiting to the last minute to participate, initiate, and/or implement family gatherings.

Master Baking Mix
I’m sure you’ve noticed that grocery store shelves are running low on inventory. As a baker, my favorite shortcut recipes are lacking in ingredients, especially if they call for specific baking mixes. And if you do find what you need, chances are, the prices are exorbitant!

Pecan Prune Bread
I made up another recipe this last weekend, because I was in the mood for baking and not in the mood to go to the store!

Lemon Saffron Cupcakes
I partially made up a cake recipe (I made cupcakes) to celebrate the end of summer and served them for a special small gathering. Lemon brightens up any occasion. And if you include a touch of exotic saffron, the floral notes will tickle the back of your tongue for sure!

Crockpot Pulled Pork
School is in full swing and I’m all about sharing quick and easy recipes, so break out the crockpot and let’s cook low, slow, forget-about-it, flavorful family dinners. One of my nieces shared this recipe with me.

Chicken and Dumplings
We’ve finished out our summer recipe series, cooking with fresh herbs, and are transitioning to easy dinner recipes for on the go families. School is here y’all!

Papaya Salad
We stare at the papayas in the grocery store and don’t know what to do with them!

Zucchini and Fresh Basil Salad
This salad uses two in-season, hot summer, garden staples: zucchini and basil. It’s a recipe for when you’re tired of the basic dinner salad.
