I first made these oatmeal peanut butter bars about six years ago, and they were an instant hit at home and at parties and picnics. The rich flavor belies their simplicity—an oatmeal peanut butter cookie crust with chocolate chips sprinkled on top then drizzled with peanut butter glaze—and they always garner “ohs” and “ahs” when [...]
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

After the cookie marathon in December, I begged off from making anything sweet for a while. Like many, we just needed a sugar break and I admit I didn’t even want to make my birthday cake. I’d had my fill of sweets and didn’t miss it. Usually I’ll make one sweet dessert a week that [...]

World Bread Day premiered in 2006 with a bang and 113 delicious entries. The event was such a success that this year the illustrious host Zorra offered bloggers another opportunity to celebrate beautiful breads and share them with everyone. I missed my chance last year as I was in the post-partum recovery and no sleep [...]

I haven’t made a sweet bread in months, and this morning I just felt like enjoying some apple cinnamon bread for breakfast. And of course I knew that my boys would love the idea.

Michael’s parents celebrated Christmas with us this year, and as usual they brought some of our favorite foods from New York, including Harrison Bakery pumpernickel bread, Polish kielbasa, and his mother’s delicious Christmas cookies. This time they also brought us a half gallon of organic maple syrup from Adirondack Maple Farms in Fonda, NY. It [...]
Maple Oatmeal Scones

Ina Garten’s recipes doesn’t skimp on flavor, and these tasty scones are no exception. With a full pound of butter and about a million calories in each one (ok, maybe not a million…) these probably shouldn’t be in the regular breakfast repertoire, but they make a wonderful treat for a weekend brunch party. It’s an [...]
Blueberry Granola

This is a quick and easy granola recipe that doesn’t have a mile-long list of ingredients. The original recipe calls for dried cherries, which is very good, but we usually put in dried blueberries instead. Pour some over yogurt and you have a great breakfast or snack.

Oatmeal Cream Scones

Sunday mornings we have a fresh hot breakfast instead of the usual eating on the run. Most of the time we have some pancakes or waffles or muffins, but today I had a craving for scones since I hadn’t made any in a while. I’ve been hooked on scones since my first taste of one [...]
