All-my-faves Muffins
There are times I want a decadent treat, yet still want to nod at healthy… or healthy-ish. This is my attempt, happily finding all the ingredients available in my kitchen. Note that I tend to use muffin tin liners, rather than grease and flour-dust; it’s your choice. Double Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Muffins makes 12Pre-heat oven […]
Spiced Green Tomato Muffins
Sometimes you just have to make it up as you go along. And even, as now, updating as you reconsider. If you’ve used my Easy Basic Muffins recipe, some of this might be familiar to you. On the other hand, I had a surplus of green tomatoes and a sweet tooth, so… Spiced Green Tomato […]
Multiple Choice Cookies
There’s a recipe that I’ve used since the last century (alright… 1970s) that I’ve never memorized because I always knew where it was. Until it wasn’t. That lead to an experiment of questionable outcome, even if edible. In self-defense, I record my recovered recipe (thanks to a loving sister!) Ingredients – basic list 1 cup […]

However, last night I -still- had a lot left, so… Cinnamon-Cranberry Muffins Pre-heat the oven […]

Easy Basic Muffins
Sometimes I just want a simple muffin, not too sweet, without a lot of bells and whistles, and a teeny bit healthier than what is commercially sold. This is based on an old recipe that has been my favorite for decades, and I keep coming back to it. Standard Muffins makes 12 medium muffins pre-heat […]
Easy Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry Sauce is so very easy, I am amazed people still buy the canned. Making your own also gives you options in terms of level of sweetness and in different flavors. Cranberry Sauce ingredients: 1 cup (200 g) sugar 1 cup (250 ml) water 3 cups (12 oz bag or 300-360 gm bag) fresh or […]
