Cinnamon Bread

Posted on 16 May 2013 by Lois Houston • Leave a comment

I found this recipe on Pinterest (imagine that!?!) and decided that it sounded way too good to not try it out. Amish Cinnamon Bread was what the recipe was called, but then she talked about how it was an alternative recipe to traditional Amish cinnamon bread which, apparently takes a long time to make. I … Continue reading »

Sunshine in a cake

Posted on 5 April 2013 by Lois Houston • 1 Comment

Revisiting one of my all-time favorite recipes today. If you haven’t tried it before, you should! Springtime makes most of us instinctively want to clear things out – out with the old, in with the new. Out with the clutter, out with the dark tones of winter, out with the heavier foods and in with … Continue reading »

Heaven in a cookie

A friend of mine made these cookies a few weeks ago. It was love at first bite for me. Seriously. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to restrain myself. They were SO good. So, of course, I got the recipe. And tried to figure out when I’d have a good excuse to … Continue reading »

Garlicky Shrimp with White Beans

Posted on 20 March 2013 by Lois Houston • Leave a comment

I got the latest issue of Good Housekeeping magazine on my Nook the other day because I saw Dr. Oz on the front cover and I wanted to see what he had to say inside. While I was nursing a sore back on my heating pad Sunday afternoon, I ran across this recipe in the … Continue reading »

Saturday Night is Pizza Night

Posted on 18 March 2013 by Lois Houston • 1 Comment

When I grew up, lunch on Saturdays was always hot dogs (sometimes sandwiches) and dinner was often pizza.  Which was perfectly fine with me because I absolutely love pizza. Sometimes, Mama would make homemade pizzas, using leftover spaghetti sauce and we’d get to top our own pizzas. Those were always my favorite because they were … Continue reading »

Wonderful Waffles for Supper

Posted on 15 March 2013 by Lois Houston • 1 Comment

I’ve gotten on a “breakfast for dinner” kick. It’s super easy, inexpensive, and lets you enjoy some breakfast-y things that you would not normally have time to make during the week at breakfast time. Like waffles. You see, I’m not a morning person. Never have been. And so, my kids suffer at breakfast because I’m … Continue reading »

Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Posted on 6 March 2013 by Lois Houston • 1 Comment

I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest and have made this coffee cake several times now  – with rave reviews every single time I make it.  Even my kids love it. While the original recipe was really good by itself, I thought I’d share the recipe the way I make it, too. Here you go … Continue reading »

Adventures in Artisan Bread Baking (part 2)

Posted on 14 February 2013 by Lois Houston • 3 Comments

I mentioned a while ago that I had received Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish as a Christmas gift and that it had started me on a quest to make great artisan bread at home.  You can read my adventures with the first few recipes I tried in that book here. Not long after … Continue reading »

Saturday Sweetness: Faux Cheesecake

Posted on 9 February 2013 by Lois Houston • 1 Comment

I stumbled across this recipe while browsing Pinterest the other day and decided I needed to try it.  Cheesecake is one of my absolute favorite desserts. I love the creaminess and the delicate sweetness with the little tang from the cream cheese.  And this little recipe has that same cheesecake flavor but is packed with … Continue reading »

Wintertime Comfort Food

Posted on 30 January 2013 by Lois Houston • 1 Comment

It’s rainy and cold here today – we’ve gone from 60-70 degrees on Tuesday to much cooler temperatures today.  I thought I’d share some of my favorite recipes for comfort foods for cold, blustery days like today.  Some of these are crock-pot recipes and some are stovetop, although quite a few of the stovetop ones … Continue reading »
