Hey guys, day one million of quarantine here, and I have made eight thousand loaves of homemade bread in the last month, because, what else is there to do right now?

Homemade Danish Kringle

Kringle, a traditional Danish pastry (the word actually means “pretzel”) is one of my very favorite holiday treats. I used to only be able to find it at Christmastime, when we would go to Wight’s Home and Garden on the day after Thanksgiving and pick out a Christmas ornament. They would always serve hot coffee… Continue reading Homemade Danish Kringle

Homemade Glazed {and Cinnamon Sugar} Donuts

When… Continue reading Eggnog French Toast

Strawberry Chocolate Scones

There is something about strawberries and chocolate.  Chocolate covered strawberries, Neapolitan ice cream, they just go very nicely together.  Strawberries are finally coming back in season (yay!) and these scones are the perfect breakfast treat to have with your coffee in the morning. If you’re not a fan of chocolate, just leave the chocolate chips… Continue reading Strawberry Chocolate Scones

Easter Cinnamon Rolls

Around here, homemade cinnamon rolls are saved for special occasions.  Holidays or the occasional birthday, if requested.  I usually make them for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day Brunch, sometimes for St. Patrick’s Day, but always, without exception, for Christmas morning and Easter morning. You can, of course, make these a little less festive, if you… Continue reading Easter Cinnamon Rolls
