Cinnamon-Swirled Quick Bread 2008-11-04 16:26:50 I don't know about you, but it has been pretty darn cold here. Our temperatures have been in the single-digits at night, and only making it to a high of around 20 degrees during the day.I shouldn't complain too much though, because the colder it gets outside - the more I bake. :)This cinnamon bread is wonderful served warm, with a little dollop of butter on top.

Lemon Bars 2008-10-08 22:23:18 Summer is coming to a close and the leaves on the birch trees are beginning to turn yellow here in the far north. I decided I wanted to bake a summer treat today, in an effort to hang on to summer as long as I can. What sprang quickly to mind was Lemon

Fresh Baked Bread 2008-10-08 22:22:42 If your a busy mom like me, you might not always have time to make a loaf of bread from scratch.When I find myself in this situation, I just go to my freezer and pull out a loaf of Rhodes frozen bread dough.

Mixed Berry Thumbprint Cookies with Vanilla Glaze 2008-10-08 22:21:42 Making these cookies is a great family activity. Children really enjoy lending a "helping-hand" with rolling and shaping the dough into balls. Not to mention, the joy they get sticking their thumb in the middle of the newly-formed balls. Just make sure they have washed their hands before helping out. :)I usually make 2-dozen at a time, but you may want to make more... they seem to vanish pretty Read more:Berry

Chai tea bags in the boiling water that this recipe requires.This resulted in a mild, Chai flavoring. A stronger flavor could be achieved by adding more tea bags to the water.~Enjoy~Vani Read more:Chocolate
