Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake
This cake is a favorite of Joe’s! It’s moist, filled with juicy blueberries, lemon zest, sour cream, with a brown sugar crumble on top. It’s a great cake for after dinner, but it also works for brunch!
Minestrone Soup
This minestrone soup is loaded with vegetables, beans, and pasta in a delicious garlicky tomato broth. It’s ridiculously good for you, and makes amazing leftovers. It’s even easy enough to whip up on a weeknight!
Chocolate Coated Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are a bit high maintenance to make – but are so worth it! They’re made with cake and bread flour and have a crispy, chewy texture, and a chocolate dipped bottom. Yum!

Apple Crumb Muffins
I whipped these muffins up while waiting for some sandwich rolls to rise. It takes no time to mix the batter up, sprinkle with the topping, and bake. Before you know it, you have a lovely batch of muffins to … Continue reading
Pasta e Ceci
Another cold one on Saturday – 13º to be specific. Perfect weather for soup, and this one certainly fit the bill – chick peas, ditalini, spinach, in a light tomato broth. It’s easy to make and delicious!
Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies
Normally I associate sugar cookies with Christmas – but these cookies are fantastic year ’round! They’re crispy, melt in your mouth marvels. Finish them off with some red colored sugar, and they’d be perfect for Valentine’s Day!
