A Polish Girl In An American Kitchen
I absolutely love this cornbread. It’s not only easy to make, but appropriate for all occasions. It strikes that perfect balance between sweet and savory, making it perfect for both. The original recipe is out of “The Pumpkin Cookbook”, and although there is pumpkin in …
Another pumpkin scone! These scones are also from “The Pumpkin Cookbook” and they need no adjustment. They are a bit more hearty, and will make you want to sit with a cup of coffee and read the newspaper while eating them. If there was ever …
If you know me, you know I love everything pumpkin. L.O.V.E. These scones are from “The Pumpkin Cookbook”. I have had to alter a few things though. For some reason the specified baking time is very much too short. I’ve also found out you can …

Who doesn’t want to impress with perfectly cooked steak every time? I know I do, and this recipe from The New Best Recipe has helped me do just that. Even down to the perfect round shape. We never go out for steak anymore because it’s always …
