The summer herald of fruit is berries! I love all kinds of berries and blackberries is one of my favorites. Blackberries differ slightly from black raspberries as they do a bit of a soft stem in them.
One of the first perennials in the garden to come up in the spring is Rhubarb. These tart red stalks are delicious combined with strawberries in a dessert.
Mother’s Day is rapidly approaching. What mother doesn’t love flowers and candy? So why not combine the two! These delicious Strawberry Cream Chocolate Roses have a wonderful strawberry flavor and a lovely eye appeal. It’s flowers and candy all in one!
Sourdough Cornbread made with Masa Cornmeal and topped with sauted veggies is so good served with a piping hot bowl of chili. Hidden in the bread is some sweet corn which give it a wonderful texture. In my thinking, cornbread must always be served with some diced jalapenos.
Hot Cross Buns are traditionally eaten on Good Friday in various countries of the world. These spiced sweet buns mark the end of Lent with the cross representing the crucifixion and the spices Jesus burial. Sourdough Hot Cross Buns are a delicious spin off of the traditional yeast recipe and chockful of raisins and spices.
Sourdough Dilly Cottage Cheese Bread is a remake of a popular casserole type bread that won the 1960 Pillsbury Bake-off contest. Not only does this bread have a terrific taste but it fills the house with a wonderful aroma while it is baking. I know it sounds like a crazy amount of dill but it is just perfect!
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. If you need a special dessert for your family, I have just the one for you! This Raspberry Chocolate Cake is such a delicious treat that is not only a feast for the taste buds but also for the eyes.
New York City Bagels in a tasty healthier version, Oh, yes, you can! These bagels are made using sprouted flour and instant yeast for freshly baked bagels in a little over an hour.
Hot Cocoa Bombs are the rage right now! If you have never heard of Cocoa Bombs, they are cute little chocolate balls that you place into a mug. When you pour hot milk over the chocolate balls, they melt, spilling out marshmallows, chocolate chips, and cocoa mix. Children just love these and so do adults for that matter!
Cheesecakes have always been a favorite of mine to serve. They are one of the easiest desserts to make sugar-free that taste like the regular ones. Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake s a favorite on mine, especially in the fall when all the pumpkins are ready to pick.
