Whenever I host a brunch I always love to serve some type of bread or loaf because I think it’s perfect for late morning or early afternoon time and it pairs well with the other typical brunch foods. This bread is not really a bread, like you’d make a sandwich with. It’s a wonderful spice cake. The ribbon of cinnamon sugar in the middle of the loaf is similar to a streusel in a coffee cake, but there are no nuts in this loaf. Cinnamon-Sugar Crust Cinnamon-Ribbon Bread Recipe (Makes 1 loaf) Ingredients: 1/3 cup white sugar 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 large egg …

Mashed Cauliflower
I indulge with sweets so the rest of my diet needs to be healthy. Everything in moderation, right? It’s hard to find healthy dishes that honestly taste delicious so when I find one that I adore I simply must share. 🙂 This may look like mashed potatoes, but it’s really mashed cauliflower.

Chocolate Gooey Cookies
Today is the first post that shows off the fancy new watermarks on my photos! Thanks to my awesome (nerd) husband for creating the program to allow me to do this!! I love you so very much! 🙂 Now to official business… 😉 Yes, these cookies are just that…chocolate and gooey! (Sometimes I just don’t know how I come up with these names.)

Blueberry Scones
Are you a muffin or a scone person? You may certainly enjoy both (like I do), but everyone seems to gravitate towards one or the other. I prefer muffins, my husband prefers scones, but either of us will happily eat either. 🙂 I love baking with blueberries when they are in season (so they taste better and cost less than the net worth of a small country) so I put them in all sorts of goodies. These scones have a lovely vanilla flavor base and they’re loaded with lots of plump blueberries. Blueberry Scones Recipe (8 Servings) Ingredients: 2 and 3/4 cups …
