Cranberry Crumb Muffins are a perfect way to use up fresh cranberries. These fluffy muffins are studded with sweet and tart cranberries and topped with a sprinkling of crunchy oat crumb topping. Be honest here, how often to you cook with fresh cranberries? Maybe once a year, tops twice, right? I was shocked when I discovered that only 5% of the cranberries grown in the United States are actually sold fresh. The vast majority are turned into juice, cranberry sauce,…

Classic creamy turkey and noodles are comfort food at it’s best, but take less than 30 minutes to cook in the instant pot. I love the look on people’s faces when they ask me about what I made for Thanksgiving. Even though I have this website and I obviously love to bake and cook, I don’t get asked to make much for this particular holiday! The grandmas rule supreme.  I have 2 signature dishes that I make for Thanksgiving dinner:…

I’ve partnered with Dole Packaged Foods to bring you this recipe. #DoleSunshine #ShareTheSunshine #ad Old Fashioned Wassail takes apple juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and spices and transforms them into the ultimate winter warm-you-up drink.

This is my own…

A couple of weeks ago I discovered that I had never posted a cupcake recipe to AHB. In three years, not a single one. How can I even call myself a baker?  I don’t even know how that happened because I make cupcakes fairly regularly. With…

Caramel apple scones are flaky tender scones studded with chunks of sweet tart apple that are topped with buttery homemade caramel glaze. It’s okay to have a crush on these scones, I have for a long time.  I know I just posted an apple recipe not that long ago. Let me tell you what happens; I buy apples to eat fresh, they are my good intention apples, but then I think of things to bake with them and it all…

Spinach rice casserole is full of creamy cheese and rice mixed with fresh spinach, red bell peppers and red onions. Even if you think you don’t like spinach, this hearty casserole is sure to win you over! I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ve got one kid that won’t eat meat. Well…she just recently has added a little bit of meat into her diet, but for the most part nada. Like when I say she’s added a little bit,…
