Short on time? Irish soda bread is a great alternative to yeast risen bread. Not just for St. Patrick’s Day, this recipe slashes bread making time to the minimum. More reason to celebrate!
Cheddar Scones
These wonderful cheddar scones are a perfect appetizer for New Year’s Eve. Tender and cheesy with a hint of spice, these are the perfect base for any number of delicious toppings. The best part? Make them earlier in the day and then warm them when ready to serve.
French Olive Cake
Where has the year gone? It’s almost the new year and that means champagne and hors d’oeuvres! This little French olive cake is a perfect addition to your New Year’s Eve buffet. Make it earlier in the day so you can enjoy the evening with friends!
Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin bread is one of the all time favorite holiday sweets with my family. Tie it with a ribbon to give as a gift or take to the office for the Christmas party. Or don’t tell anyone you made it and keep for yourself!
Banana Bread
As much as I love light, fruity desserts during the hot summer months sometimes I just want something homey that reminds me of being a kid! This banana bread is dense and moist with delicious banana flavor. Double the recipe because this will not last (and it tastes even better the next day!)
My Grandmother Thompson’s Biscuits
The 4th of July is almost here and summer is in full swing! It’s strawberry shortcake time and what do you need for strawberry shortcake? Biscuits! This recipe was handed down by my great grandmother Thompson. My mother now makes these biscuits and she’s the expert — they are light, fluffy, and melt in your mouth. I hope you will enjoy these as much as the Thompsons have for generations.
Cornbread
It’s barbecue season and cornbread is a simple, quick, delicious side to add to your table! This cornbread can be in the oven in 10 minutes and on the table in half an hour. Perfect when you want to be outside enjoying the weather rather than inside slaving over the oven!
