Let me talk quickly. We are currently experiencing unseasonably cold temps with wind gusts in the….well below our comfort level. My computer has been off and on again with power outages and server issues.
Carrot Cake Breakfast Bread served with hot comforting coffee makes ‘unseasonably’ seem novel. Continue reading »

My Dark Chocolate Rum Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream recipe was inspired by the most popular dessert on this year’s Halloween Office Party Buffet. There sat Mark’s picture perfect rum cake, whose aroma alone was so intoxicating co-workers began to stalk the break room pre-party (secretly wondering if they could manage to sneak a piece without getting caught). There’s something sensual about the combination of rum and butter and sugar. Continue reading »

I made these. Hee hee.
I’m as surprised as anyone at how easy it is to make Homemade English Muffins, all while your family sleeps. When my family came downstairs this morning and met me in the kitchen, I had a grin on my face a mile wide. Care for an English Muffin? Continue reading »

Sweet & Sticky Sesame Walnuts make a great bar snack, game-day nibble, or holiday cookie tin addition. That was reason enough to make them.
Only four ingredients and steps so simple that very little words are required was reason enough to share them with you. Continue reading »

She requested a Hummingbird Cake.
It was about six months ago and it went something like this. Oh. My Word! You have GOT to make a Hummingbird Cake and share it on Lemony Thyme. And with me. Of course you have to share it with me. Continue reading »

This Sweet Potato Praline Cake is a combination of our favorite Praline Banana Nut Muffins and heavenly Sweet Potato Casserole with Brown Sugar & Pecans. I debated back and forth on what to name this coffee cake. The cake itself is sweet, yet in a subtle way and oh so moist. The praline topping is amazing. Definitely reminiscent of a favorite Thanksgiving side dish. Continue reading »
