Homemade Cinnamon Bread

I can’t believe I’m going to confess this, but when I was in graduate school I used to reward my good grades with store bought cinnamon bread (without raisins) Ha! Thinking back on this makes me laugh and even funnier is that when I was talking to my little kitchen helper about our 4 year

Small Batch Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

I made these muffins last night and know you will love these too. If you are in search of a muffin to feed your family that isn’t overly sugary (no refined sugar, uses honey) and provides them with a healthy snack, this is for you. During these times of quarantine, I feel like I’m eating

There’s no turning back now. What’s done is done. The seeds have been planted! After much discussion about the ideal time to plant carrot seeds last winter, Make and Taste Founder Nicole and I agreed upon March 2017 to launch our gardening experiment. There is an old, but fitting French idiom that sums up these

Baked Pumpkin Donuts With Vanilla Glaze

Inspiration for the recipes I make with my kitchen helper comes from many different sources. Most recipes are based on food that he is enjoying at the moment and requests that we try to recreate a certain food at home.

The Best Apple Cinnamon Bread (+Video)

While vacationing on Cape Cod over the summer I frequently visited a local coffee shop to enjoy a morning and/or afternoon caffeine infused beverage. They had a small selection of pastries, one of which was an apple cinnamon muffin that my son and I ended up enjoying several of over the course of our stay.

Baking Bucket List: Small Batch Croissants

Homemade Croissants from scratch, sounds intimidating? I thought so too, but still it has been on my baking bucket list for the longest time. When I discovered a small batch croissant recipe on the blog Desserts For Two, I bookmarked for some future day where I would take the leap. My kitchen helper always enjoys
