Here are some photos of our simple but oh so delicious Thanksgiving meal. We ate around noon since there wasn’t much prep involved. Just had to heat the ham and scalloped potatoes, cook the green beans, and the rest was essentially done. And boy, did we […]

Since early March, we have been on a maple syrup and french toast kick and the end is nowhere in sight…yet. 😀 The downside (besides the weight-gaining, of course) is that our super-delicious local maple syrup stash is decreasing at a faster rate than we had initially […]

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to eat healthier, which at this point means eating more veggies, drinking more water, reducing sugar intake, and replacing refined flours and grains with whole flours and grains whenever possible. Wish me luck! 😀 For my very first baking attempt for […]

This is one of my favorite breads, filled with chock-full of dried cranberries and chopped nuts. It is quick and easy to put together in a bread machine. I just love the convenience of a bread machine, which allows me to make breads with little […]
