My family – kids especially – love anything blueberry here. A fresh pint of blueberries easily disappears after a day or two. My mom, who is an expert muffin maker (or as the kids call them ‘cupcakes’), takes the cake for her homemade blueberry muffins. Not only are they delicious, but much of the fun…
Well, the holidays are over and is so is eating all of that delicious, decadent food of the season. Let’s steel ourselves for bland, tasteless food that will get us back in shape. Right? WRONG! Today I’m sharing a wonderful, sugar-free, low-fat, nutritious recipe that is truly delicious. After trying this scrumptious recipe, you will be…
This recipe comes from my mom. She makes the best blueberry muffins! Maybe it has to do with the amount of butter in them… or maybe it’s the amount of blueberries… or maybe it just has to do with that extra special touch she has! Mine still didn’t turn out quite like mom’s but maybe yours…
If you’re looking for a cool, refreshing dessert try out this Blueberry Fool. I often think of this treat with Spring or early Summer. It is light, creamy, and has a surprise of blueberries with lemon zest. It is great on a warm summer night or upcoming special occasion! I have made it…
These mini cheesecakes are absolutely wonderful, and I have used this recipe over and over for years. Not only are they delicious, but they are so simple! I first remember making them for my sister-in-law’s bridal shower, which amazingly was ten years ago this June. And I just made these this week for a tea…
The holidays were full of so much fun, fun, fun! And sugar, sugar, sugar! You know what I mean? Don’t get me wrong; I loved the cookie exchanges, treats at church, the baked goods, the peppermint mochas, the neighborly surprise treats, etc., etc., etc. It’s now time for me to try to balance out all of…
Iced Cranberry Orange Bread Does this bread put you in the baking mood? Cozy, snowy, mornings call for a sweet bread baking. Coffee is lingering. Staying in pajamas. Children are (hopefully) still sleeping. Those quiet, peaceful mornings are just nourishing to the soul. There’s something comforting knowing we are home today and we will home…
Looking for simple, yet patriotic dish for the Fourth of July? Look no further! A healthy fruit platter to share with your family and friends. One thing that I love about this flag dessert is you can personalize it with your own red and white favorites. For this particular platter I used…
I had to try this pretty ‘holiday’ bread that I saw online. I love the colors, cranberries, and the combination of orange and cranberry. Glazes on breads are always welcome, too. This looked to me like the perfect treat for all of us over Christmas break. We all enjoyed the flavors, and the sweet bread…
Southern Peach Cobbler We just can’t seem to get enough of those Georgia peaches that are in peak season right now. They are just so delicious all by themselves. I’ve been eating one a day for the last few weeks – all by itself, on top of oatmeal for breakfast, at lunch with cottage cheese,…

We Gingham Apron girls had the privilege to make some of our favorite brunch foods for a bridal shower hosted at my Aunt Connie’s house. As usual, we went for scrumptious family favorites that could be prepared easily (and…
