Granola with Cashews, Almonds, Dried Apricots, Maple Syrup, and Cardamom

It’s cold, rainy, and perfect weather to crank the ovens for this recipe. I make this granola throughout the year, using different ingredients, typically seasons flavor. So for now, I’ll stick with this exact recipe. I love the maple syrup and cardamom. It exudes Fall and makes me feel cozy. I topped my oatmeal with a scoop of this for a different texture, with a fresh pear diced in there. Breakfast bliss. Original: This recipe is…

Berry Grunt

I’ve known about this grunt thing for a while, but I had never gotten around to making one. I threaten it a lot, but it just wasn’t happening. So I finally did it, and there are no regrets here people, this is just good ‘ol home baking, in a simply fantastic way. You can make this with any fruit your heart desires. I happen to have leftover frozen berries from the winter, fresh nectarines, and a few first fresh strawberries…

Blackberry Peach Scones

I took the last week off from the internet, all of it, every social media and email. It’s just what I needed to relax, reflect, and reboot. R & R times a thousand. While we were in Idaho for a funeral and celebration of life, it was the perfect time for this break, mini vacation, and time of reflection. It was quality time spent with Brian and family, hanging out talking, cooking, eating, reading, and enjoying each other. I’ve…

Super Moist Blackberry Ginger Bran Muffins

These Super Moist Blackberry Ginger Bran Muffins are a nod to a classic bran muffin but with more flavor added by the ginger and blackberries! Super tender and great for a slightly healthier muffin choice. I know what you’re thinking, am I nuts… Bran muffins?! I am kind of nuts and I do love my bran muffins more than most other muffins any day of the week. I’ve said it over and over, if I have a choice of a sugary breakfast…

Persimmon Hazelnut Scone

Oh you know me and my scone love. Equal to me and my galette love, hence the last post. I have a confession, I made these last month. Many times, that is the case in blogging. We keep posts or recipes that are ready to go, if we need them. I needed it. I was going to post something healthy, but to be honest, I am having a bit of trouble getting my blog groove back. There has been a lot going on with family, Mama had the flu, a nasty one,…
