Instant Pot Cooking
At Christmas I got not just one Instant Pots but two! Everyone was on the same gift giving mindset. I got both a 6 & 8 quart one. I ended up trading my brother for something that I got him (gaming gift card) and he took the 6 and I kept the 8QT one. I always wanted to try it but I have SOOO many appliances and gadgets that I could never justify spending the money on one. I had a top 5 list of…

Dalgona Coffee
I tried that Dalgona Coffee and it's MMmm good!
I finally gave in and tried out this coffee thing that was trending and I have to say I am glad I did. It was such a treat and was easy to whip up.
What is it and what’s the deal? I went to the net to find out.
Dalgona coffee (Korean: 달고나커피) is a beverage made by whipping equal proportions of instant coffee powder, sugar, and hot water until it becomes creamy and then adding it to cold or…

Instant Hot Beverage Mixes
Since we are in a Shelter in Place scenario with this COVOD-19 thing and I have no wish to go to a store for a little while longer, I decided to knock out my hot beverage mixes. ☕☕☕

Cinnamon Currant Bread
It’s Cinnamon raisin bread day today!
I have been making this bread in the bread machine and also in a bread pan for ages.
For this recipe I decided to try a no knead version.
Of course when I went into find the ingredients I did not have enough raisins for the recipe so I used currants. I have been substituting currants for raisins for years now. However, sometimes you just want raisins in your…

Five kinds of Trail Mixes
Five kinds of Trail Mixes
It’s National Trail Mix Day today (no, I am not making this thing up!) so I went into my pantry to see what kind of goodies I could find to make a couple batches of mix. I opened my pantry and was rewarded with a buffet of fruits, nuts, seeds and cereal options. I’m thinking I may have brought these items separately to add to my lunch box as an afternoon snack but totally forgot about them all.

Soft Ginger Cookies
When it comes to ginger cookies there are the folks who love the crispy crunchy kind and folks who love the soft chewy kind. I love them both ways!
I was baking for an event and this time I was in the mood for soft due to just having dental work (a crown installed) so crunchy was not going to be a good idea.
This recipe produces super soft cookies that stay soft for days. A week later when I…

I took a little break for vacation but excited to finish the final recipes from KAF’s Bake the Bag baking challenge!
For this week, it’s muffins!
I always love a warm yummy muffin right out of the oven, especially if they are blueberry muffins. These muffins definitely pass the test.
I have a recipe that I have used for years but now I am happy to have an alternate recipe that uses wheat flour. I’ve tried to use wheat flour with my usual recipe but it doesn’t work as well as this one. The buttermilk seems to give it that moist texture that I love while minimizing the wheat grainy texture you usually find with wheat flour recipes.
The original recipe calls for cinnamon as the spice but I used KAF Chai spice as a substitute with delish results.
I hope you give this recipe a try, I think you’d enjoy it as much as I did.
This makes 12 muffins
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground chai tea spice (or cinnamon)
1 cup blueberries frozen
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
coarse white sparkling sugar for topping
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Line and grease muffin pans with paper baking cups.
Scoop out and measure flour into a cup, then sweeping off any excess.
Whisk together all of the dry ingredients; stir in the blueberries last.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla, vegetable oil and buttermilk.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just to combine.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them full. A slightly heaped scoop of the batter is the right amount.
Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sparkling sugar.
Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven, and after 5 minutes transfer them to a rack to cool.
Serve warm, or at room temperature. Store leftovers loosely wrapped at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.

Apple Pie Spice Rolls
Makes approximately 16 rolls.
Ingredients
Rolls:
4 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup butter melted
1 large egg
cooking spray
Filling:
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp King Arthur apple pie spice
1/4 cup sugar
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp milk as needed for desired consistency
Directions
In a large bowl, stir 2 cups of the flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the salt and yeast with a wooden spoon until well mixed.
In a small pan, heat the milk over medium heat until very warm and an instant-read thermometer reads 120°F to 130°F.
Add the warm milk, 1/4 cup butter and egg to the flour mixture.
Mix in an electric mixer on low-speed 1 minute, until flour mixture is moistened. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, stopping frequently to scrape bowl. With a spoon, stir in enough of the remaining flour until dough is soft, leaves side of bowl and is easy to handle.
Sprinkle flour lightly on a countertop and place dough on floured surface. Knead the dough. Continue kneading about 5 minutes, sprinkling surface with more flour if needed.
Spray a large bowl with the cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place about 1 hour minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 sugar and the cinnamon; set aside. Spray the bottom and sides of a 13×9-inch pan with the cooking spray.
Sprinkle flour lightly on a countertop. Deflate the dough by pushing your fist down into the dough and place on floured surface.
Using your hands or a rolling-pin, flatten dough into a 12×8-inch rectangle. Spread melted butter over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture.
Beginning at a 12-inch side, roll dough up tightly. Pinch edge of dough into the roll to seal edge.
Using a length of dental floss, cut roll into 15 (1-inch) slices. Place slices slightly apart in the pan. Cover pan loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place about 30 minutes or until dough has doubled in size. Remove plastic wrap.
Heat the oven to 375°F. Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove rolls from pan; place right side up on a cooling rack. Cool 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, stir glaze ingredients until smooth, adding enough milk so glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Over the warm rolls, drizzle glaze. Serve warm.

Cinnamon Whole Wheat Scones
Cinnamon Whole Wheat Scones
Its week 7 of KAF’s Bake the Bag featuring a Cinnamon Whole Wheat Scone recipe.
I am pretty picky about my scones. I really enjoy the fluffy ones with the texture like a buttermilk biscuit.
Usually what I see are the crumbly dry things that I can’t for the life of me understand how these things sell. I have tried it multiple times at various places and I did not like them. In my opinion,…
