This is my second month participating in a baking group called Bundt Bakers. And I am already enamored with the bloggers and their creative baked goodies. #BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all our of lovely Bundts by following our  Pinterest board . We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about BundtBakers, can be found on our  home page . This month's prompt was from Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm. She wrote: "November is National Peanut Butter month.  Being mindful of allergies I would like to open this up to all Nut Butters.  The Nut Butter can be added to the cake itself or used as a glaze or frosting." Here's the line-up... Banana Bundt with Cocoa Peanut Butter Glaze from Sweet Sensations Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt Cake from Patyco Candybar Easy Frosted P...

Earlier this week a friend asked if I wanted to go pick white nectarines at her property while she was out of town. I never turn down the chance to harvest homegrown, organic fruits or vegetables. Never. So, I left work with a basket and headed to her house. I followed the directions on her text until I found myself standing beneath a white nectarine tree with drooping branches laden with ripe fruit. What a deliciously sweet smell of summertime! When my basket was full, I headed home and the first thing I wanted to make was jam. Ingredients makes 5 jars 9 to 10 cups white nectarines, rinsed and sliced into wedges* 1 cup organic granulated sugar (this is pretty tart, adjust sugar, as needed) 3/4 cup liquid (you can use water, wine, whatever you want - I used water, but have used leftover Prosecco for a great flavor) peel from 2 organic limes juice from 2 organic limes  Also needed: five jars, lids and rims *Note: my jam was a little bit bitter which...

Today's cookies are part of my offerings for August's  Food'N'Flix  event.  Kelley of Simply Inspired Meals is hosting a month-long round-up of Star Wars recipes for   Food'N'Flix . You can read her invitation  here . I was inspired to make a cookie in honor of my favorite scoundrel and his princess! Love-Hate from disney.fandom.com Han Solo and Leia Organa's is a classic love story, and one of my favorite patterns. I've always had a soft spot for enemies that eventually set aside their differences and fall madly in love with each other. Love-hate relationships are much more interesting - at least in books and movies! My favorite thing about love-hate relationships: the complexity of the characters. They’re usually hilariously flawed, highly relatable, and - most importantly - they illustrate that the road to true love can be bumpy.  Han and Leia have that perfect blend of passion and hatred that I look for in my fictional couples. On...

When Sue of  Palatable Pastime   reminded me of the theme of this month's #BakingBloggers - British Baking - I knew I  had  to join in and experiment with a version of Jammie Dodgers. She wrote: "Bake up a British recipe (English, Scottish or Welsh), your choice of sweet or savory." Whenever I have a choice of sweet or savory, I almost always lean savory. But I've had these cookies on my to-make list for years. I figured it was time. First, though, the other British-inspired recipes...
