Honey-Almond Granola
I’m a big fan of granola and I usually make my own because I enjoy experimenting with different ingredients. This is a pretty basic granola, sweetened with honey and a little brown sugar. It has sliced almonds in it, and I also added some almond extract for even more flavor. The golden raisins add a…

Crumb Coffee Cake
Now that the weather is turning cooler, I’m drinking more hot coffee and tea. Especially in the chill of the morning. And something that goes great with these beverages is a nice slice of Crumb Coffee Cake! I really love the crumb topping on this breakfast cake—it adds just the right amount of sweetness!

Mango Blender Ice Cream
This “ice cream” is made in a blender, so it’s super-easy to make! It has the consistency of “soft serve” ice cream and you can enjoy eating it right after you’re done blending all the ingredients together! If you want to add a topping, you could sprinkle coconut flakes (that’s what I did), shaved chocolate,…

Summer Vacation: South Haven
I am one of those people who love, love, love going to the beach! And this summer, I had the chance to go to a beach on the coast of Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes. The beach is in a town called South Haven. The waters are wavy and you may even see…

Maple Pecan Scones
I’m a big fan of scones…for breakfast, brunch, or coffee-and-tea time! I recently made some Blueberry Buttermilk Scones, so I wanted to try another flavor! I had some pure maple syrup on hand and maple scones sounded good! So I came up with these Maple Pecan Scones. They have both maple syrup and maple extract…

Blueberry Banana Bread
I still have blueberries in my freezer, from when I picked them a few weeks ago, so here’s another blueberry recipe! I can’t believe I never made this before, because I’ve made a lot of different kinds of banana breads, but apparently I never made Blueberry Banana Bread! Until now. And it is really good!

Blueberry Buttermilk Scones
Have you ever been to an afternoon tea? I’ve been to a few—one was at a hotel and the other was at a Bed & Breakfast Inn. Both tea times were such a treat! Having tea with friends and tasting fancy little tea sandwiches, cakes, scones, and pastries was such a wonderful break in the day.

A Morning Prayer
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely.

Strawberry Salad
This salad is a refreshing one to enjoy during the warm-weather months! It’s made with a mix of baby spinach leaves and Romaine lettuce, along with sliced strawberries, cucumber, red onion, sliced almonds, and feta cheese. So many good things! And this Strawberry Salad is topped with Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette—you can use your favorite pre-made…

Broccoli Slaw
Broccoli is such a healthy veggie, and I love coleslaw, so I thought I’d put the two together and try making Broccoli Slaw. It sounded like a win-win idea! 🙂 I saw a package of pre-shredded broccoli slaw mix at the grocery store, so using that instead of shredding your own really saves a lot…

Berry-Bran Muffins
The combination of bran cereal and fresh berries makes these muffins really good! And they’re probably a little healthier than other kinds of muffins because of the bran. They’re also sweetened with honey and brown sugar, for a lightly-sweet flavor.
