I love love love my new bread machine. It's so easy to just throw all the ingredients in, turn it on and have beautiful dough. The recipe for these rolls is pretty time-consuming - only because you have to allow it to rise three times. You don't really have to do anything with the dough… Continue reading Perfect Dinner Rolls

Apple Carrot Bran Muffins
We are having an aerobics session at tomorrow's MOPS. And, my table is on tap for breakfast foods. I figured I should bring something that's not laden with sugar, butter and cheese. Drat.

Awesomely Good Blueberry Muffins
Ok. This is way more like it. I decided to whip up another batch of muffins. I couldn't just let my baking failure stay with me all day long.

I mean come on -- you can't tell me these don't look like Leia's spiral buns from "A New Hope"...right? The really great thing about these is that you… Continue reading Mediterranean Crescent Pinwheels
Stuffed Mushrooms
Oh how I love mushrooms. One of my favorite appetizers is the stuffed mushrooms at Olive Garden. I know that all the cheese, butter, cheese and breadcrumbs takes away from the nutritional value of the shrooms, but I don't care. Mmmmmm delicious. Tomorrow we're having an all day Star Wars Marathon with our small group… Continue reading Stuffed Mushrooms

I first had this cookie at a tea party thrown by my good friend Lauren. She's from Australia and has the most delightful accent ever. Also, she made some delicious treats from her homeland. These cookies were one of my favorites. I went searching for a recipe for them (probably just should have asked "Loz"… Continue reading Melting Moments
