My favorite Spinach Dip
I found a version of this recipe in a magazine several years ago. I’ve made it dozens and dozens of times and someone always asks for the recipe. It’s so good. And so simple. When I have guests, I usually mix this up the day…

Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes
Full disclosure- I’m not a pancake person. It’s not that pancakes are bad, but I’m a savory breakfast type of person, and pancakes tend to be too sweet for my liking. Like a pastry for breakfast, it just doesn’t appeal to me. But recently my…
Champagne Vinaigrette
A dear friend of mine took me to one of her favorite lunch spots a few months ago. A little specialty shop that sells wine, oils and vinegar, nuts, dried fruit, and all sorts of other fancy little gourmet things for cooking. We each got…
The Best Caesar Salad
Although it wasn’t my intention, I’m afraid I have become a Caesar salad snob. Bottled dressing or store-bought croutons just don’t compare to this salad. Once you try it, I’m sure you’ll feel the same. Don’t be put off by the extra few minutes it…

Cranberry Orange Mini Loaves
This bread is really delicious and comes together quickly. I typically bake mine in 4 mini loaf pans, which are the perfect size for gifting. Alternatively, you can bake in one standard size loaf pan. You can also change up the ingredients a bit depending…
Mulled Apple Cider for the Holidays
I make this stuff every year for Thanksgiving. Sometimes for Christmas. And sometimes just because. I learned how to do this at a cooking class I took years ago. Since then I’ve tweaked it and added or removed things, and I think it’s just right…
Apple Pie Oat Bars
This is a really simple, versatile, and most importantly, delicious recipe! I usually use apples, or even better, homemade canned apple pie filling. But you can use any fruit, any canned pie filling, and even jam or leftover cranberry sauce from your Thanksgiving feast. They’re…
Soft French Bread
Here’s a great recipe for a simple, softer style french bread. This works great for dips, for turning into garlic bread to serve with dinner, or just plain ol bread and butter to snack on. You will need: 2 c warm water (100 degrees or…
