Baking is not my thing, baking with yeast is even less than my thing. But sometimes I get the yearning to bake fresh bread, usually in the form of my bread maker. Then I saw Amy’s recipe for her weekly bread and I got a hankering for skipping the bread machine. Amy is a local, […]

Breaking the Bread
We have a cabin, a cabin in the mountains. A cabin on 40 acres of forested rocky mountain. I love our cabin, it’s where we spend nearly every weekend of the summer at. A place with out cable, internet and cell phones…a getaway. Since McGyver and I play mountain man and mountain woman every weekend […]
Sour Cream, Bacon and Cheddar Drop Biscuits
Saturday morning, after a long week I wanted to make some home made biscuits for breakfast. They had been on my mind all week. Biscuits, warm and flaky. After making a pot of coffee, I delved into the refrigerator to get my ingredients. Hmmm, no buttermilk, no regular milk, only 2 tbsp. of butter. Yeah, […]
Banana, Chocolate Chip, Granola Muffins

Don’t get the wrong idea, these […]

Scones
Mcgyver and the Baby boy asked me what I wanted to do for Mother’s Day. Zillions of possibilities flowed through my mind, okay, maybe not zillions, I don’t think I have the capacity for zillions of thoughts. But I did have a few, like visit Giant Springs, have a picnic, or go for a motorcycle ride […]
Featherlight Cheddar-Ranch Puffs
As I’ve said before I work with some pretty talented people! One of them, Aimee Hachigian-Gould. Aimee is a down to earth friendly person. She’s an amazing cook, rancher and on top of that she is an orthopedic doctor. Not only does Aimee run a ranch, her orthopedic practice, compete in numerous competitions she is […]
Lemon Curd
As I mentioned in yesterdays post, I scored some Meyer Lemons. They are the juicest of all lemons. I wish you could cradle one in your hand and feel the sheer squishiness of it. Just a little squeeze and you instantly know that this lemon promises you lots of juice. I was afraid if I […]
