The pastry is actually really easy to make and only takes about 10 minutes to make (plus bake time). And you will be surprised at how easy it is to make your own pastry cream filling. You can also make a sweetened whipped cream…... view full recipe

Or top it with some goat cheese or mozzarella, along with some roasted garlic and peppers and bake it for a quick pizza.…... view full recipe

I made these Resurrection Rolls on Easter morning every year when my kids were growing up. Now my daughters make them for their kids.

Read the following scriptures as you are making the rolls, stating: The crescent rolls represent the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.…... view full recipe
Irish Soda Bread is the perfect accompaniment to Corned Beef and Cabbage, and Irish Guinness Steak Pie, which I'll be making for St. Patrick's Day this year.

I have been making these Mocha Walnut Muffins for well over 30 years, and they have always been a hit. I used to bake for a coffee shop and would make these into giant muffins and they sold out daily. The buttermilk makes them moist, and the coffee and chocolate make these extra special. If you don't want the walnuts, you can skip them. This recipe, and 499 others, can be found in our cookbook…... view full recipe
Beignets... YUM! I actually ate Navajo Fry Bread, and then Sopapillas before I had Beignets. They are also like a light, fluffy doughnut. They are all fairly similar, but some Beignets, and most doughnuts, use yeast, and Fry Bread and Sopapillas use baking powder, and they are all made just a little differently. But since this post is about Beignets, I'll share the recipe I use for making these pillowy, puffy treats. They are a…... view full recipe
