This superb breakfast bread is a snap to make if you have all of the ingredients on hand. The only “exotic” item is pineapple juice concentrate; I keep a can in the freezer for this and similar recipes. Excellent toasted and buttered, this bread also makes wonderful French toast. Inspired by a recipe for rolls …
At last, the “savvy husband” shares his cherry bagel recipe! Because of the required boiling and baking, Matt prefers to make these during the winter months, but he’s been so busy that we had to wait ’til spring. Why bother making bagels at home? Because they are less expensive than store bought and taste great! …
When I posted Peanut Butter Granola Surprise, I mentioned that I would eventually create a recipe combining the best features of that and my Protein Powered Peanut Butter Granola. Well, here it is, a favorite quick bread flavor combo in granola form! Peanut butter still plays a prominent role, but the bananas shine though well …

In addition to antioxidants from cocoa, this treat offers the whole-grain …
These rustic, nutritious rolls are packed with protein, fiber and flavor. The taste of sourdough dominates, complemented by milk and honey and further enhanced by the nuttiness of bulgur wheat. Gorgeous on their own, these are also perfect for sharing in a basket with butter and jam on the side. Their hearty (and hardy) nature …
Like most of my biscotti recipes, this is loosely based upon one from Cooking Light magazine. As usual, I’ve included whole grains and reduced the sugar content. Adding cocoa powder was my idea, and I wholeheartedly endorse the results… yummy! The Italian demitasse cup is from my grandmother, a gift from one of my grandfather’s …
