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.

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.

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!

My wife and I had a craving for some type of bakery treat so we decided to try and stay at least on the health side a little bit. This Spicy Cherry Rolled Oat’s Muffin Recipe makes a dozen muffins.

However the cherry flavor blended in real well with the other ingredients, combined with the cinnamon and wheat germ topping these muffins are an excellent treat. Enjoy

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/2 cup rolled oat, quick cooking
