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! …
This recipe was a wonderful surprise. I always hope my concoctions are at least comparable to their lower-fiber, higher-sugar counterparts, but the real reward comes when they are even better.

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 …
These scones are based upon a summer favorite I’ve made for many years. Impatient for blueberry season, I decided to use frozen berries instead. The resulting scones taste wonderful, but because of the consistency of the thawed berries, their color and texture are decidedly different from those made with fresh blueberries. Scones made with the …
For such an impressive final product, these are amazingly easy with a bread machine. Just toss in a few ingredients, run the dough cycle, divide, stuff and bake. Voila! You end up with fantastic whole grain rolls that are perfect with breakfast, lunch or dinner. Well-suited for guests, potlucks and special events, these delicious treats are …
