Apple Streusel Bars

The number one question I get asked when my blog comes up is “How do you not weigh a million pounds?” The answer is that I have pretty good self control.  I have to.  If I ate everything I baked, I wouldn’t fit through my doorway.  My house is consistently filled with delicious baked goods, and I… Continue reading Apple Streusel Bars

Baked S’mores Bars

Summer is coming! Summer is coming!  If you live anywhere other than Seattle, summer probably means S’MORES! Of course, here in Seattle, it rains a lot- even in the summer.  I can’t even tell you how many times I have bought the stuff for s’mores- we have a fire pit in our backyard- and been… Continue reading Baked S’mores Bars

Blueberry Swirl Banana Bread

Homemade Garlic and Cheddar Bagels

I’m not going to lie to you.  These homemade bagels are a process.  There is yeast involved.  Rising, waiting, kneading, boiling, brushing, baking.  With all that said, they are still worth it.  Why? Because there is nothing, NOTHING like a fresh bagel warm out of the oven, especially if there is cheese involved. I made… Continue reading Homemade Garlic and Cheddar Bagels
