Apple Cinnamon Skillet Monkey Bread

March 29, 2011 by Tiffany

Some of you wonderful readers recently introduced me to the blog, Picky Palate. The first post I saw there was Peanut Butter and Jelly Skillet Monkey Bread. Heavens to Murgatroyd! That looks delish! And you know how I love peanut butter.

But as I read the recipe, the words “jelly of your choice” caught my attention and all I could think of was apple jelly. Which pairs perfectly with cinnamon and brown sugar. So I took the original recipe and did a bit of tweaking to come up with this: [Read more...]

Make Your Own: Cornbread Muffin Mix

March 22, 2011 by Tiffany

Cornbread muffins are an easy way to round out a meal. I decided to save a few steps by making my own mix.

One note: Don’t leave out the butter when you mix them up. We had company the other day and I served these muffins. Right before we sat down to eat, I discovered the melted butter that was supposed to be in the muffins sitting in the microwave instead.

Please tell me I’m not the only one to have trouble talking and cooking at the same time! I once melted a Tupperware bowl in the oven because I was talking on the phone and not paying attention. I meant to turn the oven on to about 200 degrees and then turn it off again, to rise some bread dough. The key is turning the oven off!

I’d love to hear your stories of distractions that led to cooking disasters! But first, let’s get to the recipe. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Cornbread Muffins

February 24, 2011 by Tiffany

Does anything round out a meal as well as cornbread? Maybe it’s just my Kentucky roots. (My mom’s family is from Kentucky, so I can claim that.) Or the fact that we’ve lived here for 20 years.

Or maybe cornbread just really does round out a meal better than most anything else.

Usually, I make Southern Cornbread or Cheddar Muffins or sometimes, Hoe Cakes. This time I wanted a muffin without the cheddar. And I wanted a little sweetness. (I actually put a bit of sugar in the cornbread. Like a Northerner!)

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Whole Wheat Biscuits

October 15, 2010 by Tiffany

My mom calls these graham biscuits. They are a bit heartier than the white flour version and taste wonderful with honey. The ugly one in the picture is on purpose. Jim really likes the “mutt” – pieces of dough left over that I press gently together.

Biscuits are simple to make. The whole wheat version is made just like regular biscuits. [Read more...]

Apple Brown Betty Muffins

August 26, 2010 by Tiffany

Apple goodness and sweet brown sugar make these muffins delicious. But you know what made them even better? A friend stopped by to share them with me!

Good conversation, a cup of tea and muffins warm from the oven can make a plain old Wednesday morning the best part of the week.

Muffins are about the perfect snack food. They are such a quick way to have the comfort of homemade baking. Here’s what you’ll need:

Blueberry Muffins with Orange Glaze

July 13, 2010 by Tiffany

Do you ever just get a hankering for something? I did the other day. I wanted blueberry muffins but I really felt the blueberries needed to be paired with a hint of orange.

Sounds sunny, doesn’t it? The muffins are perfect for breakfast, but we ate them for a snack. (Don’t tell anyone, but I prefer muffins to cupcakes. This tidbit of info could destroy my serious sweet tooth reputation.)

Hoe Cakes

June 24, 2010 by Tiffany

Dick stole the hoe cake

Ran through the meadow with it

Hid it in a brush pile

And swore he never meddled with it

From Granny Will Your Dog Bite and Other Mountain Rhymes

Hoe cakes are just another way to fix your cornbread, a good variation on a mealtime staple. When I was growing up, we ate them just like cornbread but you can also have them with syrup if you like.

Snickerdoodle Muffins

May 4, 2010 by Tiffany

All the scrumptiousness of a snickerdoodle cookie baked into a muffin. The idea for this muffin popped into my mind, so I went on a quick internet search for a recipe. When the search yielded nothing, I decided to make up a recipe myself. I wanted the tops to come out crinkled with cinnamon sugar like the namesake cookie. I also wanted to use cream of tartar in the batter, since that is a key ingredient in the cookies.

Success! We now have a new family favorite muffin. The cinnamon sugar is a bit crisp on top and the muffin is slightly sweet and vanilla -y. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Apple Brownies

February 13, 2010 by Tiffany

Despite the name, this dessert has no chocolate in it. It is the texture of brownies, with a dense center studded with apples and a crisp top. The cinnamon apple flavor is so good, especially warm. And the ingredients are items I almost always have on hand.

The recipe was shared with me by Magistra, on a forum I frequent. I followed her recipe, but only made a half batch instead of whole. Double this recipe if you’d like a 9×13 pan of Apple Brownies. [Read more...]
