It’s gotten to be that time of year here when I’m going through the pantry and trying to use up many of the things which have been stuck in the corner for a long while. One of those items in our own home tends to be rye flour — a castaway from the best intentions of...
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a pumpkin & squash kick around here lately. Roasted pumpkin seeds, pureed pumpkin…and the butternut squash soup. And as if that weren’t enough, I also made some pumpkin bread last week that we have just been devouring! My first...
We love-love-LOVE breakfast here in the Casa del Muehli’s and generally go the sweet route with pancakes or French toast (especially now that we have a griddle again after our last one melted down.) But some mornings, we’re craving something with a little more...
While we were still on vacation between Christmas and New Years, I was flipping through one of my cookbooks, hoping to come across something new and interesting to try out. Sara Moulton Cooks at Home has often caught my attention, but I just never managed to put any...
As you may recall, we are huge fans of zucchini bread in this house and I make a couple loaves almost every week. Now that Stefan is back at work and I want him to have something in his belly every morning, I’m back to baking. But I was feeling a bit bored with the...

I love biscuits. I make them with chicken & gravy, I eat them for breakfast with jam or honey…and sometimes I just eat them as they are. I can remember many a Sunday morning when I was little, when my family would get up and make biscuits for breakfast. They were...
I’ve mentioned the muffin baking craze I’ve been on these past months but I’m always on the look out for recipes that are not loaded with sugar and big chunks of chocolate. Sure they taste awesome but I send them to work in the morning with Stefan and he doesn’t need...
I’ve been trying to come up with new and interesting things for Stefan to take to work for breakfast, and for us to have on the weekends before we start on our projects. I thought these might be an good change from the fruit based muffins and breads I have been making...
These have become the new favorite muffin in the house. They are insanely good. Really moist and full of flavor. And when you get a chocolate chunk – YUM! If you have a food processor, you will find these very easy to make. Perhaps too easy. I tell myself they’re at...
