I wanted to do something new and challenge myself while treating my dear friends and family to a home cooked Mediterranean meal. I’ve eaten my fair share of Mediterranean cuisine from restaurants and from authentic home cooks and loved it ALL! This was my first attempt to make it at home.

Healthy Blueberry Muffins

This simple recipe is for breakfast or dessert. I made so many, we snacked on them all day long.

My sweet husband’s birthday was Monday and one of his favorite cakes is carrot cake. Seeing we McKeever’s like to celebrate for days, I turned his favorite cake into cupcakes. He loved this, because it didn’t limit him on how many he could eat.
“A slice of cake visually says this is all you [...]

Cupcakes Kids Will Not Waste

 
For the past four years, I've attended my fair share of little kid birthday parties.  I've observed and experienced that no matter how delicious the cake tastes or doesn't taste, it's the icing that gets all the attention. 
Party after party, I watch kids ONLY eat the frosting off their cupcakes.  Leaving behind a half eaten, [...]

Homemade Dinner Rolls

 
These soft, delicious dinner rolls are ready in one hour from prep to serving.  That's really not long when considering how long yeast breads usually take to rise, knead, shape, rise again.  (I don't bake yeast breads for that reason.  I don't have the time or the patience.)
This recipe doesn't involve any extra work [...]

Pumpkin Muffins
