I think I have finally found the spread to beat all others – Roasted Persimmon Butter. Over on Instagram, I mentioned that I have been buying persimmons for the past few years, but I never really knew what to do with them. I admitted I felt a little intimidated by them. They are very pretty, […]
I think I finally perfected my gluten-free cornbread recipe. True, the recipe is based off of one from America’s Test Kitchen, but I have tweaked and tweaked over the years until it’s finally just right. My husband and kids are my faithful guinea pigs when it comes to gluten-free baking, and they all agreed that […]
Warm Pear Nutmeg Streusel Muffins, fresh from the oven, are the perfect fall breakfast or snack. I’ve been making a non-gf version of these muffins for years. The idea came to me the other morning to make a batch of gluten-free muffins and add diced pears to the batter. It was a brilliant move, if […]
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.

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 […]
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) […]
