delicious seasonal eats
My mother texted me this morning asking for Rachel Allen’s Soda Bread recipe. And I couldn’t believe that I had omitted that from the Ballycotton Fish Chowder post. Doh! So here is the recipe for my mom and for all of you who I inadvertently left hanging on the promise of a fantastic Irish soda […]
Becky and I had such a great time making Scandinavian recipes last month we decided to do it again! Be sure to check out her recipe for Swedish Pickled Cucumbers. Norway holds a special place in my heart. Being able to visit the land of my great-grandparents eight years ago is truly an experience I […]
Some of my fondest childhood memories are attached to things my mother made me for breakfast. She made really good banana bread. I liked it sliced, cold, smeared with butter and cut into tiny cubes. She always used a steak knife and it left little even ridges along the butter as she spread it. The […]
Over the weekend I ended up making a huge batch of rolls for my family–bigger than I meant to. I realized I’d added double the yeast I needed to. My brain was on other things and you know, it happens. So there I was with too much dough. I weighed out 2 pounds of dough […]
Pulling a pan of piping hot, super soft milk rolls out of the oven is one of life’s simple pleasures. I make my soft dinner rolls recipe a lot for my kids. One day I discovered that they’d eat the entire roll whereas when I made homemade bread, they would leave the crusts. Such a […]
It’s summer and I don’t usually make bread pudding in the summertime. I save it for those chilly nights when we bump up the thermostat and pull our sweats on, and snuggle up with a good BBC show. But thinking about that makes me hot and want to jump up and turn my a/c on […]
This recipe is a keeper. We’ve made it literally dozens and dozens of times. These Pumpkin Muffins with Pecan Streusel are simple the best pumpkin muffins ever. The recipe comes from Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home To Yours, which is one of my favorite cookbooks. Every time I pull a batch of these out of […]
My childhood Sunday dinners would often include buttermilk biscuits slathered with butter and drizzled with golden honey. The recipe we used most was one from Land O Lakes fell by the wayside until a few weeks ago when I decided to make them again. There is something wonderful about them. Comforting and inviting. My mom […]
Had breakfast yet? It’s Saturday morning…that means no cold cereal allowed where I come from. You have to make something yummy. Well, unless you live here in NY and it’s going to hit 90 degrees before lunch time. Then maybe you feel like having something cold. Anyway, I actually made these yesterday in anticipation (dread) […]
I originally posted a refrigerator rolls recipe last March when I wanted to make a new recipe for easy crescent rolls. Since then, I’ve been perfecting these rolls. Practice makes perfect, right? And I’ve discovered they are really an all-purpose kind of roll. I have used this recipe to make cinnamon rolls and orange rolls […]
