A Different Kind of Glazed Carrots
My husband loves this recipe for glazed carrots. Instead of brown sugar and butter, it uses fruit juice. Serve as a side dish with your favorite meal.
Cherry or Blueberry Blintzes
Blintzes are delicious as a main course for a light meal or for dessert.
Marble Bundt Cake Recipe
When I was a kid growing up on our dairy farm in Wisconsin 40 years ago, marble cake was one of my mother’s specialties. I was always fascinated with the way that the marble seemed to appear in the cake “by magic.”
Strawberry Shortcake Baking Powder Biscuits
I have noticed over the years that there are two philosophies for Strawberry Shortcake. There are the people who make Strawberry Shortcake with biscuits. And then there are those who make it with angel food cake or plain white or yellow cake. My mother belonged to the biscuit philosophy. She also made baking powdered biscuits when she ran out of bread and needed a quick bread to serve with a meal.
My mom and dad both considered baking powder biscuits spread with butter and drizzled with pancake syrup or dark corn syrup to be an extra-special treat.
Summer Time Party Punch
I made this punch for the open house that we had at the newspaper in June (2010) for the All-School Reunion 100th Anniversary for our high school.
Homemade Breadsticks
These breadsticks are easy and go well with spaghetti or soup. You can make breakfast treats with them using cinnamon and sugar.
Molasses Oatmeal Bread
Not only is this a rich, dark bread that makes terrific sandwiches and tasty toast, it’s also high in fiber and low in refined sugar.
Oatmeal Apple Raisin Muffins
These muffins are quick and easy to make for breakfast. I also make them for the coffee that’s served after church on Sunday, too. The church is the same little white country church I attended as a child.
Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a dozen times: “Make homemade cinnamon rolls? From scratch? Are you crazy? That takes all day!”
I have several recipes for homemade cinnamon rolls that do, indeed, take at least all afternoon — scald the milk and let it cool to room temperature (30 minutes); mix the dough and let it raise for an hour (1.5 hours); punch down the dough and let it raise for another hour (1 hour); shape into cinnamon rolls and let raise for another hour (1.5 hours); and then, finally, bake the cinnamon rolls (30 minutes) — for a grand total of 5 hours from start to finish. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You really can make homemade cinnamon rolls from scratch in two hours or less.
