This easy recipe for Lemon Buttermilk Bundt Cake makes a delicious lemony cake that can be enjoyed for breakfast or served with ice cream for a light dessert.

The theme for Sunday Supper this week is Hometown Foods, hosted by Coleen of The Redhead Baker. As I was coming up with my hometown recipe, I had visions of recipes for Juicy Lucys, wild rice or a healthier tater tot casserole dancing in my head. But as I was doing this recipe during my morning commute, I drove past a large sign that inspired me……

Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

September 17, 2014 ·

Oatmeal Raisin Muffins are a wholesome snack, or breakfast on-the-go, made delicious with raisins, oats, buttermilk and brown sugar.

The other day after school, while Greta was napping, Adam presented me with a cookbook. A cookbook that was all about muffins. That’s my kind of cookbook! He proceeded to point out several recipes that we should make…now! I was inspired by an Oatmeal Breakfast Muffin, but needed to switch up the ingredients to use up what we had on hand (no way am I waking the baby to go to the store!) After a quick peek in the pantry, I found oatmeal, brown sugar, buttermilk and California Raisins. Sounds like the makings of a tasty Oatmeal Raisin Muffin!…

Cookies and Cream Scones

August 6, 2014 ·

Cookies and Cream Scones are light, buttermilk scones studded with chunks of cream-filled chocolate cookies!

Pastries, muffins, doughnuts and scones are often enjoyed as a delicious breakfast treat. However sometimes I find there is a grey area as to whether or not those treats actually qualify as breakfast. They may not quite be dessert either, but perhaps more suitable for an afternoon treat, such as an old-fashioned afternoon tea. At least that is what I envisioned while putting a modern twist on a traditional scone recipe for these Cookies and Cream Scones!

This Low Fat Chocolate Cake is fudgy sheet cake is topped with a fudgy frosting and easy to make. It is moist, chocolaty and delicious!

I just looked at the calender and realized that Monday was my 3 year blogiversary. And a celebration isn’t a celebration without cake…and sprinkles! So I am sharing this simple, tasty Low Fat Chocolate Cake in honor of YOU, in honor of the blog, and just because who doesn’t like a delicious cake made on the lighter side!

I’m not always a fan of going low fat just for the sake of low fat. But in an effort to save calories with something that is simple, chocolaty and delicious, I’m all for it. This Low Fat Chocolate Cake is made using coconut oil, both in the cake and frosting. I love using coconut oil in baked goods. This was also my first time using coconut oil in frosting, which turned out great!

Rosemary Cornbread from Alida's Kitchen #recipes #SundaySupper #ChooseDreams

Rosemary Cornbread #SundaySupper #ChooseDreams

May 25, 2014 ·

Cornbread made with buttermilk is given a sophisticated twist with fresh rosemary in this Rosemary Cornbread. This recipe is lightened up and always a favorite!

A couple weeks ago, my family paid a visit to the local nursery to pick up some herbs to plant in a container garden on our deck. The deck is just off the kitchen, and walking out the patio door to pick fresh herbs for my recipes is one of the many things I look forward to each spring. I’m not the only one who looks forward to ‘herb season.’ Adam not only loves the recipes, but he loves to care for the herbs too! Ever since he could walk, he has helped watering. Now with a few years of experience under his 4 year old belt, he has taken over (most) responsibility and really does a great job!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes

February 10, 2014 ·

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes are a hearty oatmeal buttermilk pancake studded with chocolate chips!

Every Valentine’s Day, I like to make something special for my family, whether it’s a breakfast treat or a special dessert. These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes combine the two – they taste like a chewy, oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in pancake form. This recipe is adapted from my Oatmeal Raisin Pancake recipe, so they are a bit healthier, with a little decadence from the chocolate chips. For the ultimate indulgence, I used Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips (60% Cacao). The smooth, rich bites of chocolate studded throughout the oatmeal buttermilk pancakes really made them delicious! In fact, I used these same baking chips in my Chocolate Malt Bread Pudding recipe, and they really add such a deep, wonderful chocolate flavor. …

Almond Butter Waffles

January 8, 2014 ·

Almond Butter Waffles are a light, buttery, buttermilk waffle made with almond butter for a delicious and healthy breakfast!

We recently discovered the wonders of almond butter (or rather, got the OK from the doctor to try it). As a mom, I am so happy to cross almonds off the list of potential allergens. As a food blogger, I am so excited – a new ingredient to play with in the kitchen! My list of recipes to make got long, but at the top of the list was Adam’s favorite – either waffles or pancakes. I decided to experiment with my Sunbutter Waffle recipe, which is a solid buttermilk waffle recipe that we enjoy often. However, this time, not only did I swap out the sunbutter for almond butter, but I also decided to use melted I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter ® D eliciously Simple ™ spread in place of the oil.
