This bread is also… Continue reading Easy Irish Soda Bread

They are… Continue reading The World’s Greatest Cinnamon Rolls

Double Brown Sugar Butter Glazed Banana Bread Scones

Someday I will learn how to manage a bunch of bananas. Meaning, I'll buy just the right amount that are exactly the correct ripeness so as not to have two or three that go brown on me before they're eaten. Until that day comes, I have to figure out new and exciting things to do… Continue reading Double Brown Sugar Butter Glazed Banana Bread Scones

Cheddar Chili Beer Bread

37° and raining. That's the forecast for the next week or so here in Seattle. Yuck. If it's going to be that cold, it needs to be snowing. Huge pillowy flakes dumping from the sky.

French Toast with Spiced Pears

I was given a big bag of pears from my mom last week from the bounty of her orchard. Ok, it's not a real orchard, just a few trees in her yard. But my mom's green thumb is absurd. She's like the plant whisperer. There's so much fruit on her trees, you'd think she had… Continue reading French Toast with Spiced Pears

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

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
