Carrot Spice Muffins
Carrot-themed recipes remind me of springtime and Easter—maybe because I tend to see a lot of product packaging with bunnies and carrots this time of year! I actually am not a big fan of raw whole carrots, but I do like raw shredded carrots. Strange, right? I’m not sure why! So I tend to have…

Honey Bran Granola
I’m a big fan of homemade granola and I usually make it on Saturday mornings. I bake up batches of it year ’round—in the cold weather seasons, I love how the aroma of the granola fills the kitchen, as well as how cozy the warmth from the oven feels as it bakes! And in the…

Gingerbread Muffins
I had no idea how many people I know like gingerbread! Someone asked me what I had baked recently and I said, “Oh, I just made some gingerbread muffins.” And then, to my surprise, they told me how much they loved gingerbread! Others told me, “I love anything with a gingery flavor—gingerbread is the best”…

Breakfast Sausage Savory Bread Pudding
I’ve had this recipe for a loooong time—someone I used to work with gave it to me. It started out as a very bready breakfast casserole, but I made some small changes to it over time and I like it even more now. This recipe has more bread in it than the typical breakfast casserole, which is a plus because it nicely absorbs…

Savory Zucchini Pie
If you live near a farmer’s market, you’ll probably agree how great it is to be able to buy fresh produce, much of it organic, to use in summer recipes. Zucchini is a veggie I use a lot, and here’s a really good Savory Zucchini Pie that I found in a cookbook called Farm Fresh…

Rainbow Fruit Salad and Vanilla Pudding Dip
Fruit salad is so good and refreshing during the hot summer months! And this Rainbow Fruit Salad is so colorful, it’s a feast for the eyes! I actually made this fruit arrangement for a photo I did for Mary & Martha back in early spring, which was used on a recipe card. The fruit is arranged…

Blueberry Zucchini Muffins
I don’t have a veggie garden of my own this summer, but friends and coworkers have been so nice to share from their gardens with me! That’s how I ended up with some zucchini. Since I also had fresh blueberries just waiting to be used, I decided to make these muffins that I first made several years…

Orange-Almond Muffins
Summer is the perfect time for making citrus-flavored muffins, like these Orange-Almond Muffins! They have a great orange flavor, and sliced almonds give them a light, nutty taste. They’re good without any toppings, but if you’re making these muffins for a brunch or tea, you may want to fancy them up a bit with the Simple…

This recipes makes a good-size 9 x 5″ loaf, has a subtle orange flavor and aroma, and is filled with tasty blueberries! The fresh berries and yogurt give this quick bread a nice…

Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins
I’m looking forward to blueberry season when I can pick my own berries! Until then, I have to settle for buying them at the store. I prefer using fresh blueberries when I bake, but the two markets I went to were totally out of them! So I had to use frozen, but this muffin recipe…

Cranberry Banana Bran Bread
After making some Apple-Bran Muffins, I wanted to use some All-Bran® cereal in a quick bread recipe to see how that would turn out. I happened to have some very ripe bananas, too, so this Cranberry Banana Bran Bread was what I ended up making! It’s a good, hearty quick bread that is moist, thanks…
