Let's BAKE!
I am sharing my recipes that my family and friends have enjoyed for years.
I lead the Children’s Ministry at my church, and during Covid we had to make virtual lessons. During November 2020 I created a “thankful” lesson using these delicious Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Muffins. The kids really enjoyed the lesson and making the muffins. They also told me these muffins are soooo delicious. So, I thought it is […]
If you like Banana Bread, Banana Muffins, or anything banana, you’re going to love these BANANA-FILLED BANANA SCONES. These BANANA-FILLED BANANA SCONES are flaky and moist, with bananas in the scones and in the filling. They’re like a double dose of bananas, with the warm spices of cinnamon and nutmeg, and topped with a delicious […]
I love oatmeal cookies. But, instead of making just regular oatmeal cookies, I decided to spice mine up. These blue ribbon Ginger-Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are filled warm spices and the spicy heat of crystalized ginger. Then, for a little sweetness, I added milk chocolate chips. These yummy cookies are soft and chewy with just […]
Lemon and Ginger flavors pair perfectly with each other. Ginger gives these scones a subtle warmth, while lemon gives them a tart brightness. For the ginger flavor I used ground ginger and finely chopped crystalized ginger. For the lemon flavor, these scones have lemon zest, lemon juice, and my secret ingredient, lemon yogurt. For even […]
A couple years ago while on vacation to Boston, I had the most delicious Boston Cream Pie from Flour Bakery near MIT, which is the inspiration to my Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes. These delicious Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes start with a buttery vanilla cupcake, filled with a light and yummy diplomat cream, then topped with […]
Because of Covid-19, we’ve had to celebrate birthdays differently, so instead of having large family gathering, we had a drive-by birthday for my husband this summer, where family could gather safely outside. Also, instead of making a Banana Cake, I made Banana Cupcakes wrapped separately for each guest. And, since it was a very warm […]

After making Zucchini Muffins, Zucchini Bread, this Chocolate Zucchini Cake is a creative, and delicious way of […]
I love growing zucchini in my garden and reaping the rewards during the hot days of summer. And, one my favorite things to make with the zucchini are Zuchini-Pecan Muffins. In fact, these are Blue Ribbon Zucchini-Pecans Muffins. They won a blue ribbon at the Washington State Fair Muffin Category. So, I guess I’m not […]
While on a ski weekend in Wenatchee, Washington, we enjoyed a delicious Wenatchee Calzone at the Saddle Rock Pub & Brewery. Because Wenatchee is known as “The Apple Capital of the World”, the Wenatchee Calzone is filled with sliced apples. To bump up the flavor, this delicious calzone is also filled with bacon and Applewood […]

While having are usual Sunday morning breakfast, I thought about making Macarons with the same flavors, and make them even look like waffles. So, I came up with my Waffle Macarons with Maple-Bacon Buttercream. […]
