... that's what my son's friend said when he shared a piece of his banana bread. I never make banana bread. I don't know why. But for some reason the bananas frozen deep in the coggles of my deep freeze were calling to me ... it's cold in here, please let us out. So into a bowl of warm water they went to thaw. I don't even have a favourite banana bread recipe. I know that's strange -

I found this recipe on the AllRecipes.com website. I made a few minor changes to the original recipe, but nothing drastic. The scone is a cousin to the tea biscuit and the muffin so the same rules apply - the less mixing, the better. Overmixing makes for a tough scone (or biscuit or muffin). I do use my KA mixer but only on low and just enough to blend the ingredients together. If you think

Well, old man winter did not loosen his grip as we entered the month of March. The first Monday of the month we were blessed with a hum-dinger of an ice storm. That's my willow tree - pretty, huh? So what's a body to do when the kids have another day home from school and you're housebound for the day? You bake scones!

So hubby "K" decides he wants waffles for breakfast...homemade waffles. OK, no problem. I don't particularly care to make waffles. It's a lot of mess & time consuming, for such a small return and I find regular waffles kinda boring. Besides, it takes so much milk. I boot up the 'puter in search of a different recipe, perhaps something a little healthier. I'm always changing recipes anyways. I

We all have tons of cookbooks. Some were handed down, others were wedding gifts. There's those that we just had to have! But how often do we use all of those books collecting dust? I find that I always go back to the same tried and true cookbooks every time while the others sit there, broken-hearted, thinking that I don't love them anymore. It just can't be helped ... when one has proven

It's all about the aroma...remember the days of waking up early in the morning with the smell of homemade bread wafting through the house? Ah, there's really nothing like it - except perhaps for the shear pleasure of hacking off a thick slice of same bread (while still warm, of course) and smearing it with butter and molasses. As a mother I've always tried to create that same type of wonderful
