Blueberry muffins are quite the classic. When I think of muffins, they're usually one of the top three flavors I envision. The only problem is that, until now, I could never get just the right recipe figured out for them. They can be a bit tricky, what with those luscious berries that are known to sink to the bottom. So many recipes thicken the batter, but then the muffin itself is a bit dense. One time I tried fixing that by adding brown sugar to the mixture, but when the blue color ran through … [Read more...]
Sweet Smoky Peppered Baked Bacon
Our road to this tasty baked bacon is a bit of a rocky one. I'm good at many things but I've never been any good at making bacon. I have no problems admitting to this either, I'll own up to it and happily offer the bacon making to anyone else! However, I'm not sure if it's that I end up cooking it over too high a heat in the skillet or if it's just cooking for too long. Whatever it is, nine times out of ten if I make it on the stove while cooking other foods, the bacon ends up burnt to a … [Read more...]

All opinions are mine alone. #BakeMagicMoments #CollectiveBias I remember one of my first time making cookies from scratch. I'd heard it was super easy, only a few steps more than the mixes you can buy so I found a few recipes to try. I remember reading through them and one of the first things was to "cream" the butter. Yeah, I had no idea what that meant! I called one of my good friends and asked her what … [Read more...]
Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies
There's certain smells and tastes that take me back to my childhood, and butterscotch is certainly one of the most vivid. My mother used to make this pudding and serve it in the cutest little pudding cups with long stems on them and I just couldn't wait to dig in after dinner. Butterscotch was always my favorite flavor pudding, and now I try to incorporate the luscious flavor into as many treats as I possibly can, it's such a simple but happy memory for me. Recently I wanted to try my hand at … [Read more...]

Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast
Picture this: It's a busy night in the middle of the week. You've just picked up the kids from school, they are doing their homework and your spouse is running late after work. One (or more) of the kids has to be dropped off at football/baseball/soccer/wrestling/cheer/dance practice (take your pick) and there's nothing much in the fridge to cook that takes 30 minutes or less. You just see that bag of chicken that you took out to defrost a few days ago that needs to be cooked, but you're not sure … [Read more...]

Baked Spice Cake Doughnuts made with Olive Oil
Did you know that August is National Olive Oil Month? Not only is that a thing, but Pompeian is doing their part to celebrate. In honor of National Olive Oil Month, Pompeian is encouraging people to take the Pompeian Pledge by swapping butter for olive oil in everyday recipes. I took the pledge myself, and have had fun throughout the month of August swapping out butter for olive oil in some of my favorite recipes. I thought a great challenge for this would be to use it in baked goods like … [Read more...]
