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!

Okay, so the Apricot Rugelach wasn’t the last cookie recipe for the season – but this is what happens when I can’t sleep. May as well be productive, right? These are simple butter cookies with a jam filling, dipped in … Continue reading
