After begging for an American Girl doll the past three years, my daughter's greatest desire was granted her last birthday with the gift of a green-eyed, curly blonde haired mini-me. She promptly named her doll "Maddie" and they've been inseparable ever since. The gratification of at last owning an American Girl doll all of her… Continue reading American Girl Tea Party Birthday

Oatmeal to Go Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins
As a homeschooling family, I only have to cram breakfast in while packing lunches and getting out the door on time once a week. We have a weekly co-op, and every Tuesday, amid the scramble, I marvel at all you moms and dads who run the gauntlet of morning activity every day. "Where are my… Continue reading Oatmeal to Go Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins
Glazed Cranberry Orange Muffins
I made these muffins because I was feeling too lazy to make my famous scones, but wanted a similar kind of breakfast item to bring with us camping. I hate being lazy. Especially when preparing for camping. My scones aren't even really hard, just more difficult than dumping everything in a bowl, then into a… Continue reading Glazed Cranberry Orange Muffins
Bakerlady’s Best of Blueberries
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
French Toast Muffins
I'm always on the lookout for ways to eat dessert for breakfast. These delightful little muffins have perfectly light flavor and a melt in your mouth oh-my-goodness-this-is-so-amazing texture that's to die for. What would you call a dessert that you pass off as breakfast? I mean, besides the obvious...pie. Bressert? Deskfast? Although these are called… Continue reading French Toast Muffins

Streusel Topped Coffee Cake Muffins
Is it wrong to use Paula Dean cupcake holders when making a Martha Stewart recipe? I hope not. Cause if these coffee cake muffins are wrong, I don't want to be right. Coffee cake is superb in general, but individualized servings in a sweet cupcake wrapper is just downright evil. Resistance is futile when you… Continue reading Streusel Topped Coffee Cake Muffins
Island Vacation Cupcakes
Our worship pastor at church is currently on vacation in Hawaii. How nice to be him. He's posting gorgeous pictures of sandy beaches and brilliant blue skies. I spent my time today huddled in my freezing garage waiting for the few brave souls who could bear the wet dreary 55° day to come check out… Continue reading Island Vacation Cupcakes
Pumpkin Spice Muffin Tops
These are one of my favorite "cookies" to make. First of all, they are warm tasting and soft. The spices make you feel all homey and there's no hard crunch to contend with to break that mood. Secondly, they are practically guilt free since they're made with applesauce and pumpkin. Really, they're like eating a… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Muffin Tops
Banana Bites
Banana bread is delicious. Most of the time I can polish off half a loaf by myself easily. However, on rare occasions, I just want a little nibble of it. These mini banana bites are perfect for satisfying my hankerin' for just a smackerel of something. They are packed with big banana flavor in a… Continue reading Banana Bites
