Cottage Cheese Pancakes

We’ve been having a lot (a lot) of breakfast for dinner over the last several months. This recipe is from Indra Brockman in the NZC, and it has become one of our favorites. I often make a half batch, but a full batch makes 8 pancakes, and the breakdown lately has been 2 1/2 each [...]

Pumpkin Waffles

We have now entered the toddler dipping stage. Simon will eat a variety of things as long as he can dip it in something. These were a hit with or without the dipping syrup. (We don’t have a waffle maker, so I just made pancakes. I have never known what the difference is between pancake [...]

Grandma’s Banana Bread

I pulled out the ole jar o’ molasses today for a whole wheat bread recipe (which, if it’s good, I promise to post later), and kept it out to make a recipe on the back of the jar. I am a huge non-fan of banana bread; don’t know why, but I rarely eat it. And [...]

Apple Cranberry Bread

Sarah made this recipe years ago and I fell in love with it instantly. I’ve made it so many times that I was forced to take a year off. Fortunately, the tradition resumes in 2009. Thanks, Sarah, for this delicious recipe. I almost always double my batch.

Papa Morehead’s Cinnamon Rolls

What you are about to read is one of the great treasures of the Morehead estate. Ever since I was a kid, my father — who gave us permission to post this recipe — has made a batch of these cinnamon rolls for special occasions (e.g., Christmas, Thanksgiving).
He’ll usually do all of the preparation the [...]

DPP 2008: December 20

Jason likes corn, and he likes (maybe even loves) cornbread. But he cannot abide actual pieces (kernels) of corn in cornbread. Apparently it’s a texture thing. (Other than that, Joe, your cornbread rocks!)
