  • One-Bowl No-Mixer Pumpkin Muffins

    So it’s no secret that I’m enamored with pumpkin, and I have dozens of pumpkin recipes that get busted out in the fall.  But for many folks, the idea of setting up the stand mixer to cream butter and sugar…or having multiple bowls and measuring cups to clean up afterward…it’s just too much to contemplate…

  • Cinnamon Masa Pancakes (with gluten-free option)

    So I make pancakes 2 or 3 times a week for breakfast, and that gets boring.  Yeah…you can add chocolate chips or nuts or berries.  Yeah…you can make gingered citrus syrups to pour over them.  You can top them with whatever.  But after a few years, they get boring.  So I developed a new pancake…

  • 3-minute Microwave Oatmeal Cinnamon Breakfast Cake

But even 15 minutes is too…

  • Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins

    I have loved blueberries since I was an infant.  My mom has pictures of me with a permanent purple stain down my chin, chest, and into my belly button.  My infant tongue wasn’t yet refined enough to sound out the name of this little blue miracle correctly…all I could manage was “bloo blellies.”  (Which is…
