Moist Banana Bread & Fresh Amish Butter

Banana Bread
Well, it’s that time of the year… fruit flies. It’s the time of year when if you leave a banana out you will be inviting every fruit fly within a ten mile radius. So this is the best time to grab those bananas, put them in the refrigerator until they are good and brown and then turn them into a moist and delicious banana bread… Continue reading

Summer corn on the cob…what vegetable is as sweet and delicious as that? I saw this delicious recipe on Farm Raised Cooking. Jessica’s recipe caught my interest so I decided to give it a try. Jess cooked hers on the grill but it was raining so I had to make some adjustments…..we loved it! Thanks Jessica!    Continue reading

Bacon Butter Popcorn

Bacon Popcorn
I know this is going to sound crazy, but when I made the popcorn cauliflower for my son the other day, I was reminded of this awesome snack I get sometimes at The Brickyard Restaurant in The Little League Capitol of the World… Williamsport, Pa. I love this snack because it takes me back to my childhood and the popcorn my mum-mum used to make. She would pop our popcorn in … bacon fat! Not the kind of thing you should eat every day, but oh so good. I’m not quite sure how they make theirs, so here is how I make mine.    Continue reading

Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bread Pudding

I love to eat bread pudding. Usually I have it for dessert at Rode’s, one of our local restaurants, where they serve it with a vanilla sauce and I top it with vanilla ice cream (of course!) It’s so good!

On a recent trip to NYC I bought a loaf of Rustic Classico Orange specialty bread at Eataly. Although it was delicious toasted with a little butter on it, it ended up being a little too sweet for sandwiches, so I decided to make a breakfast bread pudding with the day-old leftover bread. I thought that chocolate would really complement the orange bits in the bread so decided to add chocolate chips in between the bread-cube layers. It ended up terrific! This is great for a weekend breakfast or brunch. It can be prepared the night before and baked in the oven first thing in the morning.   Continue reading
