Tomato Basil Avocado Soup
This cool, summer soup sounded good to me because it didn’t involve any cooking, and it has been so hot these past couple of days! This is a “raw food” recipe. You may have heard about all the health benefits there are to eating raw. I’ve read a little about it, although I’m no expert…

A Bushel-Filled Birthday Gift
I have a friend who has a birthday right around Memorial Day weekend. So this year, I decided to put together a gift with a red, white, and blue theme. Okay…it’s actually red, white, and teal—but that’s close enough! 🙂 I thought I’d tell you how I put this together in case you wanted to…

Hosanna!
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the…

Lemon-Zucchini Loaf with Lemon Glaze
I baked this loaf late one evening, sleepily mixing the glaze while the loaf was cooling. A little later, yawning while I drenched the loaf with the lemon glaze, I was hoping, after this late night baking session, that this creation of mine would taste good when I tried it the next day.

Minty Frozen Yogurt Shake
If you like the Shamrock Shake at McDonald’s, then you may want to try this minty shake that’s a little healthier because it’s made with frozen yogurt and low-fat milk or soy milk. The peppermint or mint flavoring is really refreshing in this shake, too. It’s a nice St. Patrick’s Day treat, especially if it St. Pat’s…

Egg Nog-Cranberry Muffins
This muffin recipe is great for a holiday breakfast, brunch, or snack, and it also comes in handy if any of you happen to have eggnog left over after the holidays. I always buy eggnog every year—it doesn’t seem like the holidays without it—but I always end up with extra. And it’s so rich, you…

Pumpkin Bread with Pumpkin Buttercream
I make a lot of pumpkin bread in the fall and winter, and wanted to try out a new recipe. So I decided to try the Pumpkin Loaf from Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins & More by Carole Walter (I made a few small changes, noted in the recipe below). It’s a great basic pumpkin bread recipe—the…
