Recipe: Simply Sinful Cinnamon Muffins
Simply sinful.
Now if that’s not a culinary come-on, I don’t know what is.
Considering this signature spice’s spicy/sweet, fiery nature, is it any wonder that “sin” and the first syllable of CINnamon are homonyms?
In fact, scientists have compiled data showing the aroma of cinnamon is a powerful male aphrodisiac. (I think I’ll just leave it to you to decide what to do with THAT particular bit of information…)

Recipe: Apple-Cinnamon Pull-Apart Rolls
“I could do that.”
Who among us, upon walking into a bakery, up and down the aisles at the supermarket, or past the stands at a farmers’ market hasn’t looked at [bread, pie, cake, muffins, cookies...] and said, “Hey, I could do that.”
There’s one particular place this happens to me a lot. And, I surmise, lots of other people, too.
And where’s that?

Recipe: Morning Glory Muffins
Have you noticed the days getting longer?
We’re 5 weeks past the shortest day of the year, and it shows – particularly in the morning, when the drive to work happens in broad daylight, rather than gray and gloomy almost-dawn.
Speaking of driving to work, what’s an easy, fast, filling, and tasty way to eat breakfast on the run (or more likely, on the drive)?
Big hint at the top of this page, right?

Got banana bread? I think the question really is: “Who doesn’t have a trusty old recipe up their sleeve?” Like china sets and pieces of fine jewelry, they’re handed down through family generations, but much more often used and appreciated.
I have to admit that I am one of the few that was left without granny’s heirloom banana bread recipe, but I DO have her zucchini bread formula which proved to be a great starting canvas for the gluten-free recipe I’m about to share with you.

Recipe: Gluten-Free Sourdough Starter
Here is a long-awaited story of creation: my quest to build a gluten-free sourdough starter.
It began in my kitchen at home after I had discovered a gluten-free English muffin recipe and was intrigued by the thought of using sourdough starter.

Recipe: Zucchini-Coconut Muffins
Zucchini. Coconut.
Not a familiar pairing, you say?
Well, maybe not to those of us who grew up knowing only enough about zucchini, a.k.a. “summer squash,” to dislike it.
And those whose only thought of coconut was a Mounds bar.
But for the younger foodies out there, zucchini and coconut go together as naturally as strawberries, bean sprouts, and avocado.
Or chocolate and gingerbread. Lime and mint.
How about pumpkin and Parmesan?

A baking bucket list, as it were.

Did you know the term “vegan” has been around since 1944?
And that the American Vegan Society has been in existence for over 50 years?
And you thought “no animal products” cooking and baking was something new, eh?
