When I saw this recipe I had to give it a try. Pancakes from scratch are not hard to make, but to have a readymade mix on hand can be convenient.  This Homemade Instant Pancake Mix is a good tasting recipe and not very complicated to put together. Just prepare a large amount, and store it in a dry place  in a plastic container. When you prepare the pancakes you can use butter milk if you want to create buttermilk pancakes. Enjoy

I know I’m rushing the season a little bit, but the local grocery had fresh blueberries on sale and this Blueberry Streusel Muffins Recipe sounded so good I had to try it. The recipe went pretty well up to the end but the batter seemed a lot thicker than I am accustom to. It’s real thick and you have to spoon it in to the muffin pan. I double checked the recipe to make sure I didn’t miss anything and popped them into the oven. They came out excellent, consisting of a heavy cake like texture loaded with blueberries. I substituted the white sugar with an artificial sweetener to cut down on the calories and it worked out fine. If you’re looking for a treat and have some blueberries available give this Blueberry Streusel Muffins Recipe a try; it’s really good. Enjoy

I have kind of taken a break on baking lately; I guess I felt we had too many sweets over the holidays. I knew it was time to bake something when my wife started looking at the muffins when we were grocery shopping the other day. I said to her, “don’t even think it, I’ll bake it, what kind do you want”? Well this Oatmeal Raisin Muffin Recipe is what she decided on. I followed the recipe as written, but you could make some changes, like substituting the sugar with Splenda and using fat free milk. The addition of the applesauce in this Oatmeal Raisin Muffin Recipe gives these muffins a nice, moist texture. Be sure to allow yourself enough time for the oatmeal to soak in the milk.  Enjoy

Sweat Treats at Christmas time is always part of the celebration around this house, so I try to prepare ahead of time, like this Red Velvet Cup Cake Recipe. Most of the treats freeze very well so when Christmas comes along all we have to do is take them out of the freezer as needed. The Red Velvet cup cakes are very colorful and good tasting, making it just right for the Holiday’s. Their looks like there are a lot to the recipe, but it is really very simple and move along quicker than you would think. Be careful of the red food coloring though, because if you spill it; that can get out of control pretty easily. Bake some of these Red Velvet cup cakes up for Christmas, and you’ll have a delightful, colorful treat.

I finally gave in. my wife kept looking at sweet treats in the store and threatened to buy some if I didn’t get busy and bake pretty soon. With the Holidays coming up I really tried to avoid it; but I gave in. I thought if you’re going to do it, you may as well do it right-after all what’s a couple thousand calories. Well it is nothing if you are 110 pounds and 5”7 like she is. Now the truth is, I’m afraid, it is not the same for me. I won’t tell you what I weigh; just that it is too much. So enough crying and here it is; another sinfully delicious sweet treat recipe. I guarantee you will love this Fudge-Filled Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe-rich chocolate sandwiched in-between 2 peanut butter cookies. Bake and Enjoy

I couldn’t let fall go by without cooking Pumpkin cookies; Soft and moist, and delicious. The only thing different this time is I decided to add chocolate chips. This Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe is very simple with very little prep time. Guaranteed they wont be around long once you Family tastes them.

In this house pancakes just aren’t for breakfast. Whenever we get in the mood for pancakes we make them. It can be for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We were in the mood for pancakes so I decided to give this Pumpkin Pancake Recipe a try. I have made many different types of pancakes, but this will be the first time I used pumpkin in the recipe. They came out light and fluffy, pretty much tasting like pumpkin bread, only with a lighter texture. I topped mine with the standard topping of butter and maple syrup and they were very good. I think some type of fruit topping with whip cream, would turn this into an excellent desert dish.

This week I was contacted by one of our churches to cook something again. Due to the time of year I decided to bake Pumpkin Cake Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting. This is an easy recipe with not a lot of prep time, and chances are you will have most of the ingredients on hand. Do to trying to get rid of some extra weight I’ve been trying to keep the sweet treats to a minimum. I’m glad I didn’t make any extras; they smelled so delicious, I swear I would of eaten half of them myself. And that’s not to mention the delicious, smooth and creamy cream cheese frosting. Give this Pumpkin Cake Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting recipe a try, you’ll love it!

Here in Upper Michigan the blueberry season is under way. I just love this time of year for berries, because almost every kind of berry we have up here is ripening. Most of the time when I make a berry pancake I usually mix in the berries into the batter. This Butter Milk Blueberry Pancake Recipe called for placing the berries on the pancake as it is cooking. I guess the biggest advantage is being able to place any number of berries you want into each pancake. The basic pancake recipe for these  Butter Milk Blueberry Pancakes is excellent and I am sure the pancakes would taste great even without the berries.

Give this one a try, and enjoy!
