Why I ever bought a can of sweet potatoes is a mystery. I bake sweet potatoes every now and then, but I have never had a use for canned sweet potatoes. I saw this can of potatoes and went to the trusty internet in search of something I could bake with it. I found this [...]
My house now smells of deep frying, I have a pot of oil cooling on the stove that I have no clue what I am going to do with, and a sink full of sticky dishes. On the bright side I have a rack of apple cake donuts and donut holes covered in cinnamon glaze [...]
These muffins, while a tad bit crumbly, are so incredibly delicious. I have a true and undying love for pecans, and so these had me from the very beginning. The combination of cinnamon and pecans in these muffins is wonderful, and greasing and sugaring the muffins cups gave them such a great crunchy, sweet exterior. [...]
When I first started to get a little crazy about baking in college I asked for this Martha Stewart Baking Handbook cookbook for Christmas. I used it quite a bit at the beginning as evidenced by the flour crusted on the front cover and bits of food scattered on some of the pages. Sadly, I [...]

Last week I made pulled chicken BBQ sandwiches and made cole slaw as a side dish. The cole slaw used mostly plain yogurt and just a few tablespoons of mayo. I had to buy a big container of plain yogurt since everything in the small containers was flavored. What to do with an entire pint [...]
This recipe was posted to Pioneer Woman back in December of 2007 and I knew from the ingredients alone that these had to be delicious. And who can argue with bread dipped in butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar? No one. That’s who. Here is the link to her post. I really like her site [...]
If you are anything like me, when you look in your freezer you might see about a dozen or so frozen black bananas. When bananas go bad in my house I either make banana bread if I have the time, or I stick them in the freezer. This pile of frozen bananas adds up quickly. [...]
Breakfast. The most important meal of the day. It also happens to be the most boring meal of the day for me most of the time. I am not organized enough, and I don’t get up early enough to fix anything more exciting than a bowl of cereal and some fruit. Every now and [...]
