Bacon Cheddar Scones
I’m an early riser and I have always loved the peacefulness of the morning. During the Summer, I mostly enjoy a bowl of mixed fruit and yogurt for breakfast, something just enough to get me going but not anything that will weigh me down as the heat begins to peak through the veil of the…

One Delicious Berliner Donut
I am a sucker for a good donut…but then again, I don’t know of too many people who aren’t. Berliner donuts are actually known as Berliner Pfannkuchen, kräppel or fastnachtskuchelchen in Germany, but also go by many other names such as Krapfen (Austria), Bismarck (Canada), Sufganiyah (Israel), kobliha (Czech Republic), Paczki (Poland) and Fánk (Hungary) but…

Savory Stuffed French Toast
Imagine going to your favorite diner or restaurant for breakfast and ordering that super deluxe breakfast that includes all of your guilty pleasures…eggs with gooey cheese, crispy bacon, moist and juicy sausage and thick slabs of pancakes or French toast slathered with melted butter and maple syrup. I don’t know about you, but when I…

Pumpkin Ricotta Fritters
As we begin to wind down the Holiday season, I am trying to use up all of my pumpkin puree in as many baked products as I can. I love pumpkin because it is not only good for you, but everyone just loves baked goods made with pumpkin this time of the year. I was…

Cinnamon Sugar Pull Apart Monkey Bread
Baked goods are my weakness, so it is no surprise to me that I ended up in the baking field. I have always loved to make cakes and cookies but bread baking as a career always seemed like such a chore. There is so much to think about when making bread products, like temperature of…

Holiday Pumpkin Pancakes
Over the past 3 days we have managed to finish up the turkey, the ham, the stuffing, the sweet potatoes and the mashed ones too…we ate all of the dips, appetizers, the casseroles and the few veggies we squeezed in for good measure. We polished off the pecan, the apple and the pumpkin pies, and…

A Proper English Cream Scone
By now, many of my readers know that I was raised in Australia, which for many years existed under British rule. This of course influenced every facet of everyday life from the food to our educational system. Even today, the country uses a parliamentary system of government where Queen Elizabeth II of England is also…

A Potato Burrito with Endless Possibilities….
Those who know me, know that I love potatoes…My childhood moniker was ‘Ms. Potato Head’, and no, it did not involve those cute and crazy little potato head characters…it was actually because I loved potatoes so much. My family always knew that if there were potatoes on the menu, they had better get to the…

The BEST Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
My life is so busy during the week, that most of the time breakfast consists of a quick bowl of cereal or a bagel on the run. I love the weekends when I can take things a little easier and sleep in. Best of all, it’s a time when I can plan a scrumptious breakfast…

Unforgettable Blueberry Lemon Muffins
I developed this recipe quite a few years ago, and it has been a very popular part of my baking regimen since then. I use the lemon oil to impart a lovely light flavor to compliment the blueberries, but you can use vanilla instead. You make a base with all of the ingredients (except the blueberries),…
