Bakerlady Scones

I've posted this recipe before, but I have a lot of new readers who may have missed it. This is my absolute most requested treat. I have never had a better scone.  Seriously.

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. These muffins totally fit the bill. They are chock full of fruits and veggies - and almost no fat! They are moist,… Continue reading Apple Carrot Bran Muffins

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. Since I didn't have anymore sour cream and didn't want to make a trip to the store, I used this recipe instead of trying the other… Continue reading Awesomely Good Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Bran Muffins

A little healthy snack for those of you watching your calories at the start of the new year. Don't we all have those 5 (cough!) - ok, 15 "Christmas cookie pounds" to lose? I certainly do. All my baking caught up with me this year. I modified this recipe so each muffin has a mere… Continue reading Blueberry Bran Muffins

Banana Snack Cake

With the greater Seattle area in the midst of the first massive snowstorm of the year (ie: we have a trace of snow on the ground), I settled into the kitchen to use up some black bananas. Yes, there's always those couple in each bunch my kids don't devour before they're past the point of… Continue reading Banana Snack Cake

Double Glazed Pumpkin Scones

At MOPS on Thursday, my friend Bethany brought awesome pumpkin scones. They got me in the mood to bake some myself. Now, my normal scones are amazing and I love the recipe. I've just never been super comfortable trying to alter it to a pumpkin scone recipe because there are already so many wet ingredients… Continue reading Double Glazed Pumpkin Scones

It's an awesome day today! MOPS this morning was fantastic, making up Dutch Apple Pies with my girls. Tonight I'm going to see Harry Potter at midnight. Well, actually - I'm getting in line at 7pm. Obviously I will need some snacks while waiting. I was in the mood to try something new that I… Continue reading Eggnog Vanilla Candied Nuts
