Venison Empanadas
This recipe makes eight large empanadas—I’m freezing four for later—but you could easily make smaller, snack-sized empanadas. I used half venison and half ground beef in the filling, but you could substitute any other ground meat combination, or even a … Continue reading Venison Empanadas
Revising a Recipe without a Parachute
We’ve had enough days of cold and snow to bring out a desire for some big bran muffins full of walnuts and raisins. Of course I already have a pretty perfect Buttermilk Bran Muffin recipe, just not all of its … Continue reading Revising a Recipe without a Parachute
Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut Muffins
This is a merging of two recipes in my old Betty Crocker’s New Picture Cook Book (1961): “Cranberry-Orange Muffins” (p. 88) and “Oatmeal Muffins” (p. 90). The recipes are so similar in amounts of ingredients, that it didn’t take much … Continue reading Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut Muffins

Whole Grain Oatmeal Raisin Scones
These will satisfy my recent desire for cookies that I shouldn’t eat. One scone for breakfast will do nicely, and isn’t a scone really a breakfast cookie, anyway? Rather than adding oatmeal to a scone recipe I already have, I … Continue reading Whole Grain Oatmeal Raisin Scones
Buttermilk Bran Muffins
I suppose you’ve seen the Molasses Ginger cookies featured on my home page, and maybe I’ve said that oatmeal-raisin are my all-time favorite cookie, so it should come as no surprise that bran muffins with molasses and raisins are my … Continue reading Buttermilk Bran Muffins
Quick, Light Pizza Sauce
In this recipe, I’m referencing two posts from about one year ago that covered the making of pizza dough and the final pizza. The dough really is terrific and I recommend it: Pizza: Day One Pizza: Day Two—White Pizza I … Continue reading Quick, Light Pizza Sauce
Savory Scones: Blue Cheese, Figs, and Walnuts
I had to get that two day cranberry experiment out of my head, plus, I had buttermilk in the fridge calling to me. I had some figs and some walnuts, so all I needed was the blue cheese—some Stilton to … Continue reading Savory Scones: Blue Cheese, Figs, and Walnuts
