Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Pumpkin Bread
Ever since the weather has gotten cooler, I’ve been in this “pumpkin bread-baking” mood. I had recently baked up a Pumpkin-Pecan Bread, which is really good, and I thought I’d try making one that was more about brown sugar-and-cinnamon, since those are such great fall flavors! And that’s how this Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Pumpkin Bread came…

S’mores Granola
The first time I ever added chocolate to granola was when I made Chocolate Chip Cherry Granola. I loved the combination of chocolate and granola! So I thought I’d try making S’mores Granola. S’mores are such a classic treat, so why not make a granola version? I used Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits, mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, and Golden…

It also makes a…

Easter Trail Mix
As I’ve mentioned before, something that’s hard for me to resist when I see the long aisle of Easter candy at the store are those malted milk speckled eggs–malt balls covered with a candy coating. I eat way too many of them! One year, I told myself I would not buy any of those eggs unless…

Egg Nog Mini Loaves
Egg Nog is one of those foods that signal the beginning of the holiday season. I usually buy a few cartons during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and typically have some extra—which is great, because it gives me an excuse to bake some egg nog goodies! Like these Egg Nog Mini Loaves, for example.

Cranberry Pumpkin Bread and Mini Loaves
I hadn’t made anything with fresh cranberries yet this year, so I decided it was time to do something about that! Plus, I still needed to make more mini-loaves for holiday giving. My Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread turned out well, so I decided to try making some pumpkin bread with fresh cranberries added in–it sounded like a…

Mini-loaves make great food gifts for the holidays, and just about everyone I know loves pumpkin bread and chocolate chips. So you can’t go wrong when you…

Teatoxy Detox Tea
Some of you are devoted coffee drinkers, while some of you prefer tea. And then there are some who love both, which is the category I fall into. I’ve been drinking a little more tea lately, though, since coffee tends to keep me up at night! Recently I received a package of three Teatoxy Detox Teas to try.…
