Country Harvest Whole Wheat Bread With Honey
I love a good loaf of bread. There’s nothing better than bread right out of the oven with lots of butter, it’s heaven. This recipe came from me getting angry at the cost of bread, actually at the cost of terrible bread. We used to buy this whole wheat bread that had lots of different seeds in it and every time we went to buy it the price went up, and not by small amounts. Needless to say, after this happened the third time I said screw it, I’m sure I can make this bread for under $5. This bread came pretty quickly and easily, the testing phase for this…

The Best Vanilla Cake Recipe
I know what you’re thinking, that is a pretty brave title. Honestly, this is the best vanilla cake recipe you will ever make. I have been on the hunt for a great vanilla cake recipe for a long time.

Some tips for making a great vanilla cake, bring all ingredients to room temperature, make sure you sift all of the dry ingredients, don’t over-mix the cake batter, and bake at a lower temperature. Some of these…

Mini-Egg Cookies The Perfect Treat For Easter
I do tend to make these cookies every Easter just so I can have that special treat. This year I made them ahead of time and put some in the freezer so that they will last longer, or that is the plan, I will let you know if that plan works. These cookies are my weakness. Every time I make them I tend to eat the most of them. I also hide them so Kevin doesn’t find them just so I can eat more of them. This doesn’t happen very often with the baking I do, thankfully, but for some reason these cookies I can’t seem to control myself. Easter…

Mini-Egg Brownies That Will Be An Easter Favorite
Somehow this year Easter has snuck up on me. I am finding that most of the holidays for 2021 have come pretty fast and out of nowhere. It might be that the days all seem to be blending into one another. Needless to say, since it’s Easter I need to make everything with mini eggs! Mini eggs are one of my favourite candies, that and M & M’s. This recipe can be made with chocolate chips instead of mini eggs if you are making these brownies and it’s not Easter. Some tips for making great brownies: For the butter make sure it is melted and cooled but not cold. Leave…
