I started thinking about blueberries after my 6th friend posted on Facebook that they were blueberry picking. No joke. Who knew that all the cool kids go blueberry picking in August? Actually, come to think of it, a few weeks ago when my sister watched my munchkins, she took them out to harvest some blueberries… Continue reading Bakerlady’s Best of Blueberries

Glazed Caramel Apple Bread
This recipe comes to you courtesy of Crisco. Funny story. Last week I was enjoying the cooling evening breeze wafting thru my open window with a beverage in my hand and my love by my side when I heard frantic calls of "Tonya! Tonya!" coming from over the fence. My adorable neighbor (and her daughter)… Continue reading Glazed Caramel Apple Bread

Double Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
I simply adore the bright fresh flavor of lemon. It just makes for happy food. I'm not really sure what the right label for this treat is. It's too sweet to be a bread, too light to be a true pound cake and too bread-like to be a cake. It's fabulous, whatever it is. Filled… Continue reading Double Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
Super Moist Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Baked goods involving zucchini are considered a vegetable in my book. I've been exercising like a crazy person lately and watching my calories, so more vegetables is exactly what I need. This amazingly moist absolutely decadent tasting chocolate bread fit the bill perfectly. I don't feel too badly about it since it's reasonably low-calorie and… Continue reading Super Moist Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Monkey Bites
No monkeys were harmed in the making of this dessert. I guess it's called monkey bites because it has bananas in it, but really it should be called moist-delicious-awesomeness-banana-bites. Yeah, I guess Monkey Bites rolls off the tongue a little easier. I prefer my baked goods as ladies, not gentlemen. As in, no nuts. But… Continue reading Monkey Bites
Snickerdoodle Bread
A few weeks ago my grandmother gave me four mini loaf pans. She knows me so well. I've been trying to use them ever since so I can bring her something delicious as a thank you. Yes, that's what happens when you give me a baking item as a gift. I use it to make… Continue reading Snickerdoodle Bread
Cinnamon Toast Twists
Morning people, I salute you. However, I will never truly join your ranks. Mornings are just not my thing. I remembered that today as I dragged my sleepy self out of bed for a 6am yoga class. I'm hitting my stride with my couch-to-5K program and my muscles need a little extra stretching out. Since… Continue reading Cinnamon Toast Twists
Hot Cross Buns
These light, gently spiced buns are one of my favorite Easter week traditions. I make them every Good Friday, always bringing them to my mom for sharing with a cup of tea. This recipe from America's Test Kitchen is a little time intensive, but not difficult and, it has never failed me. You get big,… Continue reading Hot Cross Buns
Bread Pudding with Bailey’s Custard
Warning! This is quite possibly the best, most decadent, delicious and amazing food item I've ever created. It is over-the-top rich. I have convinced myself that if I only eat it once a year or so, I don't have to feel guilty about it. Sort of. I'm already dreaming of when I can make this… Continue reading Bread Pudding with Bailey’s Custard
