Banana Bread

January 11, 2018 by Anne

banana bread

Here’s a recipe I’ve been making for over 30 years. I first made it from my mother’s Betty Crocker Cookbook, which she gave me a copy of for my wedding. When my children were young, they loved to pull stools all around the kitchen counter and “help” me make this, which mostly consisted of smushing…

Soaked-Flour Pancakes Recipe

January 10, 2018 by Anne Leave a Comment

These pancakes have a pleasantly sour flavor from soaking the whole wheat flour overnight. These pancakes cook more slowly than either unsoaked whole grain flour or white flour pancakes. The texture will be chewy and the taste pleasantly like sourdough. Serve with melted butter and raw honey, maple syrup, or homemade applesauce. Soaked-Flour Pancakes 2…

baking powder biscuits

  This old Southern recipe pleased a friend of ours who actually grew up in Georgia. That made this Michigan girl happy! We love serving these with homemade turkey-sausage gravy. Butter and honey also tastes great with them, or a little homemade strawberry jam. I have to double the recipe for our family. 1/4 cup…

Mashed Potatoes

January 11, 2015 by Anne Leave a Comment

About 10 years ago, I was introduced to heavenly mashed potatoes by my friends Kate and Rob. These potatoes are good “plain” or smothered in gravy. Back then, I loved them, but I was just sure that they were TOO rich to be good for me. I decided to indulge just on the holidays. I…

My Bible

January 10, 2014 by Anne Leave a Comment

my old NIV Bible

I read through my entire Bible for the very first time in about 90 days in 2006. I was so hungry to know what it said and what it contained — and if it actually applied to me! I fell in love, and now I read my Bible daily, using a plan that gets me…
