{TWD} Honey Wheat Cookies

The adventures with Dorie have included a lot of butter and chocolate. In moderation, those things are not that bad, but on a weekly basis, they tend to be slightly frightening. This week’s ingredients include honey instead of loads of sugar, wheat germ instead of, well, everything bad for you…so this week’s recipe seemed to [...]

TWD: Pecan Honey Sticky Braid

I think cinnamon rolls are one of the greatest inventions! Since I had just made some cinnamon rolls, I was a bit hesitant to make another whole batch, even with the slight differences. When I saw the idea in Cooking Light for a braided cinnamon roll dessert, I knew there was a way to combine [...]

Still Thinking About Cloves

There were so many incredible recipes which arrived in my inbox from the recent Think Spice, Think Cloves event that I had the honor of hosting. I chose cloves because I love the way they can compliment both sweet and savory dishes.

You see, I have gobs and gobs of recipes that I have cut out from magazines, primarily Cooking Light magazine. There are some which stand out in my mind, but normally they get [...]

Ham Cupcakes?

When I think of cloves, I think of ham. Sure, I use cloves in a variety of baked goods and even breakfast cereals. But, when the top spins off the top of a bottle of ground cloves, my mind is instantly taken back to times of baking delicious honey-baked hams. I have never seem a [...]

“Barley” Awake?

Although you can tell I am a fan of all kinds of pancakes and other baked goods for breakfast, I admit I do know that a hearty bowl of whole grains will satisfy me all the more! After making breakfast with millet, wheat berries, oatmeal & quinoa flakes as well as semola, I decided to [...]
