strawberry.

One of my favorite times during summer is going to the farm to pick strawberries.

so sweet, juicy, & ripe. ready to be eaten, baked with, or even jammed.

nothing beats pick your own.

i ate all of these before i could bake with them ♥

Jam doughnut muffins.

IT HAS BEEN MONTHS!

no, my computer is not fixed yet

but I did turn it on today, uploaded 700 pictures

& here I am. Revisiting a favorite place

& learning to share again :)

these little muffins are a keeper & an ultimate treasure.

my friend Susan shared this recipe with me.
She is a wonderful baker. Always creating treats and sharing with who ever is near.
She truly inspires me to bake out of love.

make homemade strawberry jam

make the batter. scoop a little into each liner
add a small scoop of jam
top with batter, 2/3 of the way full

once baked, allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes.

remove the muffins from the pan, dip the tops in melted butter

and dip into a bowl of cinnamon sugar.

They really are the best little muffins I've ever made.

update;

I have lots and lots to share with you all.

so many new recipes & creations have been made

in my new kitchen! [YES! I have a new kitchen]

I promise to stick around!

always.

Being able to bake my birthday cake was so much fun!

I was able to make it exactly the way I wanted

and even lick the spoons when I was done!

cranberry vanilla coffee cake

[oh dear. it really has been too long.]

Cranberries are one of the best fruits to use during the winter.

I love baking and cooking with them because they are so versatile.

For this cake, the berries break down into a jam-like filling

squished in-between layers of butter coffee cake.

 

this cake is just divine.

the moment I spotted this recipe, I fell in love.

cranberries & vanilla sugar

all piled into one cake

makes for a wonderful winter treat!

 

simply make the batter, divide into two

fill the pan with half

top with cranberries & vanilla sugar

top with remaining batter

smooth the batter on top

sprinkle with sugar topping

bake until perfection!

[unfortunately when I baked this on Christmas morning, it needed about 10 more minutes in the oven. Therefore, the center was a bit raw, but that didn't stop us from devouring it!]
