This is my favorite recipe for Irish Soda Bread! I have gotten many compliments on this soda bread! For many years I would make 15 or 20 of these at a time for fund-raisers and taking orders for St. Patrick’s Day! It is not dry and not bland! There is just a hint of sweetness and there are lots of raisins and caraway seeds. Americans…
This is pumpkin bread kicked up a notch! It has dates and raisins and nuts. It is baked in a bundt or tube pan but the texture is not a pumpkin cake! It is a large pumpkin bread! It is so moist, and really, really good! It’s a favorite of mine during the fall holidays! I just love this one! Enjoy!
“A moist zucchini bread base with added grated carrots, diced apples, and walnuts topped with a cream cheese and butter frosting. The flavors and textures of the fruit and vegetables in this bread make a combination that is really delectable. I am partial to the lighter colored, mildly spiced zucchini breads, so there is just a touch of cinnamon. I wanted to accent the fruit…
Homemade Pinwheels, just like the ones found in pizza places on Long Island and all over the boroughs of NYC! They can easily be made at home and personalized to whatever filling you crave! You can add different veggies, different cheeses, or meats. Even chicken or ground beef would work. A dab of ricotta if you want. Pepperoni, or sausage is a typical filling…
This is my favorite cinnamon bun recipe that I tweaked over the years until I was happy with it. Sweet and soft, filled with extra raisins, they are irresistible! Yes, these take some time to make, but you do it in steps that are easy to follow. It is worth the effort! My recipe makes 9 large buns, or 12 medium buns, or 18 mini…
Blueberry Scones made my way have a blueberry overload! A scone really is in between a muffin and a biscuit. I make scones the American way which is a little different than European scones across the pond! Americans like their scones a little sweet, fluffy, and moist, almost like a muffin but not quite. Europeans prefer scones leaning more towards a biscuit and not so…
This is an oldie but goodie recipe! My Aunt Gloria used to make this often and I loved it. No mixer needed! It is all made by hand! You can swap the shortening for butter if you want. To me, this is the best, moist cranberry bread recipe! And, it cuts into nice, clean slices! Enjoy!
Cornish Pasties! The real deal! I first tasted a pastie in a little tiny shop in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England and I got hooked on them! I cannot say enough about how delicious they are! They are made with all different combinations of meats and vegetables. I wish you could get one in as many U.S. shops like you can in England! It seemed like pasty shops…
This is my version of my mom’s spinach pies. I added sugar and eliminated oil. Sometimes my mom would add sliced black olives. That is good too! I like Italian Spinach Pie this way because of the touch of sweetness from the little bit of sugar in the filling and the raisins. She put a little oil in the filling, but I eliminate it…
Homemade pizza with crumbled ground beef…. delicious! This is with a homemade dough, but you can use store-bought dough to make it easier. Enjoy!
You must be a Rhode Islander, have lived in Rhode Island, or visited Rhode Island if you know what a DOUGHBOY is! The dough is shaped into rounds and fried in oil. My Mom made these very often! Doughboys are found all over the state in restaurants, pizza parlors, and fairs. My version has added sugar to the dough for sweetness to the…
This is my own version of cranberry scones. I like a lot of orange zest, or at least it has enough to taste the orange flavor! And I like my scones the American way, which is sweet and soft! Europeans prefer a drier and less sweet scone, more like a biscuit. This is soft and yummy, bursting with plenty of real cranberries! It is a very…
