Since I’m focusing on bread this month I decided to make bread pudding last night. It’s really more of a dessert. But I served it as a side dish with our quiche. I usually serve quiche with some kind of sweet bread, so it’s really not that different. I love bread pudding. But I’ve actually …
Simple Whole Wheat Bread
I baked my first loaf of bread for the month yesterday. I did a quick search for easy whole wheat bread, and this is first recipe I found. It’s from All Recipes. It had great reviews and didn’t sound too complicated. It’s not 100% whole wheat, but I bet you could replace some of the bread …

I am bringing a meal to one of my sister’s friends today (that my sister made). I decided to do some baking yesterday to add to it. I searched through my recipe box and found an old recipe for cinnamon applesauce bread. I don’t even remember if I’ve ever made it. I’m pretty sure I’ve …
Carson’s Birthday Cakes
Yesterday was my nephew’s 2nd birthday (so hard to believe!!). He is having 2 parties (1 for each side of the family). I made a cake for each party. The theme was airplanes. The first cake was marble (yellow and chocolate) with vanilla frosting. The second cake was chocolate with chocolate filling and vanilla frosting. …
Crispy Cheese Crackers
Since Kindermusik was cancelled yesterday and Rebecca was up at 5:30 we needed some activities to fill our day. As usual I decided to do some baking. We made crispy cheese crackers. It’s another Heavenly Homemaker recipe. Super simple. And so good! And one more thing I can make from scratch instead of buying at …
Crockpot Rice and Beans
For lunch yesterday I wanted light, simple, healthy (since I knew Super Bowl evening food wouldn’t be)…rice and beans fit all 3. I got this recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking. It’s so so simple to prep. Literally about 5 min. I’ve never actually made or even had rice and beans. This was really …
Dad’s Birthday Cake
Let’s Go Knights! That was the theme for yesterday’s events. It was my Dad’s birthday. My whole family went to the Calvin basketball game (they won!). And then they all came to our house for dinner, gifts and dessert. Sticking with the Calvin theme I made a cake with the new Knight logo. Turned out …
