I love blogging about food. After slaving to get the right picture to make your mouth water, I get to eat the subject. I discovered this week the delightful combination of cinnamon raisin bagels, cream cheese and honey. Not too much honey, just a light drizzle. I use the banana slices to sop the honey left on the plate. The potassium boost is just extra points. This is a great breakfast! It's habit... More...

I heard of Nutella for the first time, about a year ago. I had watched some program about International Chefs cooking in fancy restaurants, but still having to offer condiments that are below Foodie par. There was an Italian chef in California who offered Nutella on toasted baguette slices. He said, "Nutella to Italy is what Peanut Butter is to America." I was intrigued.... More...

These Simple Apple Muffins are satisfying anytime of the day. We've been eating them all day long. Try them and see for yourself. Right before bed, I got the idea to make something special for my husband to eat on his long commute into work.

In the mood for quiche, again, and with plenty of ready made pie crust dough on hand. I put together this delicious spinach quiche with gruyere cheese.

I couldn't help snap of picture of the moment. The photo... More...

Up until that experimental batch of Pumpkin cookies, me neither. Yesterday, I baked up a double batch of Pumpkin Cookies to give away to friends and family. I had just over a cup of pumpkin puree left in the... More...

I had four very ripe bananas on my counter this morning. This is what happened. Bananas: Quick, transform us into something yummy before it's too late! Jill: How about Banana Bread? Jill: Nah, I did a post on that already. What about banana cupcakes? Jill: Hey that sounds yummy, but I'll try to make them into healthy breakfast bites and less dessert. The bananas met the masher... More...

After making Awesome French Toast, I was curious how vanilla would taste in my pancake batter. My kids thought I made flat cupcakes for breakfast, and of course, they ate every bite! Notice that this is not a sweet batter, I skipped the sugar, knowing that there would be maple syrup added later. Personally, I've been craving raspberry jam on my pancakes. It's a yummy change and I can carry my... More...

This morning my life is turned around. I feel a new spring in my step. My kids and husband look at me with a brighter sparkle in their eyes. Their smiles and yummy sounds filled my heart while they... More...
