I loved the original Starbucks Cinnamon Chip Scones and was disappointed when they stopped selling them many years ago. I even tried a few of the copycat recipes on the Internet, but I was never happy with the results. Years later, John did his graduate work in the...
We always have bananas in the house, and inevitably, we will have a few that are over-ripe at the end of the week. I was looking for something to make with them and was considering making banana bread or muffins. I found a good recipe for banana muffins but it used...
When we first got our Instant Pot I was surprised to learn that you can make cheesecake in it. I quickly found a recipe, ordered a few accessories for the Instant Pot, and gave it a try. We were all surprised at how good it came out. Since then I have been making this...
