Cranberry-Pecan Oatmeal
Here’s an easy way to make oatmeal a little more exciting…it’s called Cranberry-Pecan Oatmeal! I used old-fashioned oats, but you could use quick oats or instant oatmeal…whatever you like making best (just adjust the cooking time for the quick or instant oats, which will be less). The dried cranberries add some sweetness and the chopped pecans…

Sweet Potato Bread
I still have more pumpkin recipes I want to try, but I thought I’d make something with sweet potatoes, just for a change. 🙂 I saw this recipe in an issue of Country Living, and it sounded really good. It’s actually called Sweet Potato Pound Cake, but I thought the texture was more like a sweet…

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread
Since I am well-stocked up on pumpkin, I decided it was time to try another pumpkin recipe. This recipe caught my eye at About.com…it stood out to me because it has cream cheese in it and everything I make that includes cream cheese as an ingredient always seems to turn out good! So pumpkin bread…

Blueberry Streusel Muffins
This is such a yummy blueberry muffin! I adapted the recipe from one I found in an older cookbook I have, The Great American Baking Book. These muffins have nice rounded tops and a sweet, crunchy streusel topping. And there are lots of juicy blueberries in them, too!

Blueberry Buckle
I never understood why a Blueberry Buckle was called a buckle until I made this. But I’ll get into that later. 🙂 I had heard of Blueberry Buckles, but had never made one or eaten one. I looked up a lot of buckle recipes and combined the things I liked best about these recipes into…

Lemon Almond Bread
I like to make lemon-flavored treats in the summer—lemons just seem to give everything a light, fresh taste! This Lemon Almond Bread is like a pound cake…rich and dense, with almonds in the lemony batter, and more sprinkled on top of the lemon glaze. So, if you like lemons and almonds, you’re in for a…

Raspberry–Cream Cheese Muffins
I have a raspberry bush in my yard. It didn’t do too well this year, but I managed to collect a whopping 3 cups of raspberries from it! I decided to use most of them in these muffins, and I ate the rest. 🙂
