This oatmeal, in particular, is the one I make time and time again. The recipe starts with a basic stovetop or microwave oatmeal. Then, you add some nuts and seeds to make it nutritious, maple syrup to boost the flavor, and milk to give it the perfect creamy texture. This oatmeal is great for a quick breakfast or even an easy and cozy lunch or dinner!

I referenced Jerrelle's recipe and my Blueberry Buckwheat Pancake recipe to get the best of both worlds.

Read MoreThis recipe is my ode to Butter Braid, featuring much more filling and a more satisfying, breadier dough than the original. The bread’s dough is adapted from my Cinnamon Sugar Tea Ring recipe. It's a simple, soft and versatile dough that lets the cinnamon-apple filling shine. This apple bread tastes great straight out of the oven, eaten cold out of the fridge, or reheated the next day.
Read MoreTo showcase rhubarb's long season, I combined my beloved rhuby with ginger, a very autumnal flavor. The result is a punchy, warming and lightly sweet jam that pairs perfectly with cornbread, sourdough, scones, whole grain loaves and more.

Read MoreWhen I was a kid, my parents and I used to visit family in California during the summers. On one of our trips, I distinctly remember a coffee cake sitting on my aunt's dining room table. I thought it looked like the most delicious thing in the world, but my mom told me not eat any. I was a pretty obedient kid, so I held out as long as I could. But one morning, I couldn’t resist any longer. I woke up before everyone else and snuck a slice.
