Scones are one of the most often requested breakfast treats in our house. On a weekend morning, they are both a treat and a simple item to make. As opposed to cinnamon rolls or bagels, which require kneading and rising, scones are made simply with a little mixing and baking. For this minimal effort, we receive a delicious baked good.
Typically when I make scones I make two varieties: chocolate chip for the kids and blueberry/white chocolate for my husband and me. However, the other weekend I decided to try something new. With just two of the kids and myself
Apple Cheddar Muffins

Snowed inside for about 24 hours during the blizzard, we enjoyed a homemade breakfast of sweet and savory breads. Last week I shared the recipe for Cinnamon Marbled Quick Bread. This week I have the recipe for the Apple Cheddar Muffins.
This recipe was a creation of what was on hand. I hadn't bought specific baking items, as I hadn't been certain we'd have power once the storm arrived. So, after a little bit of investigating in the pantry and refrigerator, I decided that the combination of sweet apple and sharp cheddar cheese would make a muffin that would

As I mentioned last Monday, we were delivered two feet of snow that weekend, courtesy of the blizzard. Pre-storm I had made sure that we had plenty of food options that didn't require cooking. However, we were fortunate and never lost power during the storm. So, with a snowy, windy Saturday morning on my hands, what was there to do besides bake?
We had three teens at our house, one of whom is an almost 17 year old boy with an enormous appetite. To try and please all palates and quench hunger, I decided to make a few different

My family members, or at least my step-dad, are avid soccer watchers. His favorite team at this point is England, and they happened to be playing Sunday against Italy. So, in honor of the game, we had a small get together with munchies and friends. I volunteered to make something, I was hoping desperately I could land the baking spot. And with my luck, I did! I now had to rack my brain for a baked good I had not already made, or at least a variation of something I already had. Frantically, my brain went through the usual
Cheddar Chive Cornbread
by TT Jr. June 13th, 2012 | Breads, Recipes
Last week we had breakfast for dinner, which is one of my favorite things to have. We decided upon eggs so I opted to make cornbread with it. Now I love cornbread; it is a very classic, understated, yummy item. But plain cornbread can get, well, plain, not to mention boring. I started debating how I could dress it up in a somewhat classier and more delicious, not to mention different, way. I decided to use my two favorite ingredients for savory items. Cheddar cheese and chives, which I also put in my scrambled eggs. I find regular scrambled
