Cinnamon Muffins (Gluten Free)

Hey “ya’ll”! I was down south last week and I’m having trouble transitioning back to “you guys”!

Last week was a wonderful time of renewal and growth. I hope to share more about it in the near future. But I promised in my most recent post that I’d get you up to speed on the whole recipe front! [Read more…]

Caramel Corn

Caramel Corn 1

Yes. I’m still on the corn “thing”. Forgive me?

This time the sweet treat involves a little brown sugar. Messy to make. But a mess worth making! [Read more…]

Oatmeal Bake

baked-oatmeal-1

The weather is getting chilly in South Dakota. That means several things:

  • I can’t get the dog to go potty outside.
  • We’re scrambling to get outdoor work done (because heavens——–it has been known to snow in October.)
  • My tribe and I are hankering for warm, filling meals in the morning.

Buttermilk Cheese Biscuits

biscuit-and-steak-1

You had me at biscuit.  Seriously, I might even choose these bad boys over Tom Cruise.

This simple take on a baking powder biscuit is the perfect side for entree’s like fish, steak or soup. The garlic and cheese transform an already tasty, flaky biscuit into an over-the-top treat. [Read more…]

Pumpkin Bars

Homemade Bars 3

Happy Labor Day!

I came close to posting a simple “Howdy doody I hope you’re having a great Labor Day!” but then I decided the day off might lend you an opportunity to bake. If that is the case than, girlfriend, you NEED this recipe.

Truth is I can hardly take it. Fall is SO close. My sons tell me I can’t light the pumpkin candle yet. They are still trying to eek out a few more summer activities. They’ve got seven days and than I’m lighting my candle regardless. [Read more…]

Zucchini Bars

Grated Zucchini 1

This bad boy has coconut instead of cocoa and an added touch of cinnamon (unlike the Zucchini Cake recipe I shared earlier in the month.)

These bars not only make the tummy feel warm but they capture that perfect “fall feeling” for the last of the garden zucchini.

If you click here for your printable pdf and start peeling that zucchini you’ll be eating warm, gooey bars in about 60 minutes. That deserves a “Bam!”

Your DoAhead Friend,

Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients. Pour into a lightly greased jelly roll pan (approx. 12" by 18"-half a sheet pan).
  2. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees (or until inserted toothpick comes out clean).
Recipe Notes

These bars are delicious with a cream-cheese frosting but are just as tasty with a light sprinkle of powdered-sugar!

The DoAhead for this recipe is much like the zucchini cake. You can grate your zucchini and freeze it in advance. You can also bake the bars and freeze them.

Be sure to utilize the following thawing instructions so you don't end up with "mushy" bars!

1. remove the bars from storage, uncover and place on a cooling rack.

2. Lightly drape a tea towel over the top.

3. Once bars are fully thawed and there is no trace of condensation place them in airtight storage (a baggie or container.)
