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.

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.

Stratas, like this Spinach-Artichoke Strata, are just the thing to enjoy on the weekends for breakfast or brunch.

I’ve been in a muffin-making mood lately! And here’s another recipe for all you muffin-lovers out there, who are also banana-lovers and chocolate-lovers: Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins! Some muffins are made with sour cream, but these muffins happen to be made with cream cheese! They don’t have a cream cheese filling though—the cream cheese is…

Who doesn’t love going to a bakery and enjoying a fresh-baked muffin with a cup of coffee or tea? But when you can’t make it to a bakery, make a batch of these Bakery Blueberry Muffins to enjoy at home! I found this recipe at SouthernLiving.com and made a few small changes—I really liked the…

Chocolate Chip Cocoa Muffins
Back in early February, I had come across a recipe for Black Velvet Muffins in the Jan/Feb issue of Better Homes & Gardens magazine. I finally had a chance to try them, and I tweaked the recipe to turn them into Chocolate Chip Cocoa Muffins—they’re really good! If you’re a chocolate-lover (and who isn’t?), you’ll…

Easy Fruit Salad
I first made this fruit salad a few months ago for a get-together, and I just kind of created this “recipe” as I went along. My goal was to make an easy, colorful fruit salad. I knew I wanted to use cantaloupe and honeydew melons and red grapes, and I thought strawberries would add a…

Fruit-Filled Cantaloupe Baskets
The last few days have been beautiful outside—blue skies, warm, and sunny—so I’m using that as an excuse to post a recipe that’s perfect for spring and summer, although you could really enjoy it all year long! This Fruit-Filled Cantaloupe Basket is made with cantaloupe halves, lined with green leaf lettuce, and filled with cantaloupe…

Cranberry-Pistachio Granola
I like to make this granola in the winter months—I use cranberries a lot in my winter recipes. It’s great around the holidays, too, because the dried cranberries, pistachios, and pepitas give this Cranberry-Pistachio Granola a touch of red and green. But you can enjoy it all winter long!

Chocolate Chip-Cranberry Pumpkin Bread
I’ve made different variations of pumpkin bread, including Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread and Cranberry Pumpkin Bread, and I thought I’d try one that had both chocolate chips and cranberries! I thought it sounded really good—but you never know for sure until you try it, right?
