Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This Paleo Cranberry Bread Recipe yields a moist, flavorful loaf with the perfect amount of sweetness to balance fresh cranberries, plus toasted pecans for a nutty crunch!
Cranberry is one of my favorite winter fruits. Yes, it’s tart, and yes, you can’t just sit down and enjoy a bowlful of cranberries the way you would cherries or blueberries. (Or maybe you could, but I’ve never heard of anyone doing that!)…
Banana-Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Brown Sugar-Pecan Swirl takes ordinary banana bread to the next level! I’m not really a shopper, at least not in the sense that most ladies are. I steer clear of the mall unless absolutely necessary (darn Apple Store with its only location in the mall…and double darn Cheesecake Factory with its fabulous cheesecake!). Anyway....
Except for the rosemary leaves on top, this bread might look sweet; in addition to the herbs being a clue, the fact that it’s savory is also given away by smelling it. It’s softly scented of onion and savory herbs. Flavor and taste-wise, I’d call it say it’s reminiscent of a savory pound cake…but in a good way. (And of course this is much lighter than a classic pound cake; there is no pound of butter, sugar, or even eggs in here!) The best thing for smearing across the top? Kerrygold Irish butter, of course. (Has anyone else noticed that Kerrygold butter almost eats like […]...
As I type this post, even with the aroma of cinnamon bread swirling around me, my mind is completely somewhere else. I’m thinking about hiking, beautiful mountain views, and pristine forests. Swimming and biking. Quaint little towns and cozy cafés. Buying fresh food every day and cooking it that night in the country kitchen of the luxury, fully-renovated 1800’s farmhouse where we’re staying in the Adirondacks this week. (My kitchen at home is anything but luxurious, so that might be what I am most excited about!) We are leaving tomorrow for a little mini vacation, and I’m thrilled. It’s been far too long since I’ve […]...
Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, has just begun; this means that for a whole month Mike and I won’t be eating or drinking from sunrise to sunset. (I will still be posting regularly though — I have quite the backlog to share with you!) The point is to teach you patience, discipline, and empathy for others who aren’t as fortunate. I have to say, it really works…food and drink (especially cold water!) never taste as good the rest of the year as they do during Ramadan....
For quite a while I’ve been hearing about the wonder that is beer bread, but I just recently got around to making it myself. (Ok, so it was actually a couple months ago when I made it and I’m a little behind sharing it with you…but better late than never, right?). :)...
Would you rather eat a donut, muffin, or slice of bread if they were all baked (not fried) and made out of the same batter? Hmm…interesting. Last year I came up with a recipe for Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts that both Mike and I went crazy for. (And this is nothing short of a miracle since he’s a self-proclaimed pumpkin-hater.) Since then, I’ve wanted to re-work the batter into muffins and/or quick bread....
I love making quick bread or muffins on relaxed weekend mornings. There’s something almost magical about a late summer Saturday morning…waking up to the sound of birds chirping and sunlight streaming in your window…and of course knowing that you have the whole day free to do whatever you want! Those kinds of mornings call for a special start to the day....
Guinness Beef Stew and Irish Soda Bread are a cold-weather classic that’s sure to warm you up! Saint Patrick’s Day is almost here! A time for parades, wearing of green, and dying of anything and everything to match that brilliant shade of emerald. Most people I know (Irish or not) celebrate St. Paddy’s Day in some way because after all, everyone is Irish on St. Paddy’s Day, right? ;)...
