Happy January Saturday! Has anyone managed to stay healthy this winter? We’re battling our first major round of the winter (hopefully also the last major round!) and it’s reminding me how often I take good health for granted, when there are really few things I’m more thankful for. Despite fevers and throats swollen shut, we […]
Saturday Sweets: EGGNOG CHOCOLATE CHIP LOAF
Eggnog is, as food inventions go, right up there with kale chips in the running for “worst idea ever”. I told you yesterday I’m not a fence-sitter; I have strong opinions, and this is one of them. There are few worse ideas than a nog made of eggs, and this is a creation no amount […]
Mini Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Just when you thought you’d already had enough of pumpkin, I’m here to tell you there is more pumpkin be explored! More to be enjoyed! More to be baked! Maybe this year I’ll even attempt carving a pumpkin for the first time in my life? Also, ’tis the season for pumpkin patches! We ventured out […]
Pumpkin Graham Muffins
Lately I feel like I’m caught in a massive round of catch-up where you never quite get caught up. I’m holding on to the knowledge that by next Saturday I’ll be done the necessary papers I need to do for school and the articles I need to write for a magazine, finished with the welcome […]
Homemade Multigrain Bagels
Oh Philosophy. Why do you have to be sooo… sooo… well… philosophical?? I am constantly reminded of how I felt in high school math: frustrated, uninterested, and counting the hours till it’s all over. Yes, I am real, yes God exists just because I believe it’s true, and yes, I realize I am difficult to […]
Glazed Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Yesterday my little man turned TWO! I can honestly hardly believe it, and at the same time I can’t believe he hasn’t been two for ages. I can hardly believe it because I feel like I missed most of his first year and a bit in a blur of us not really getting along or […]
Vanilla Chocolate Chip Muffins
I think it’s high time we had a theme week here at Hidden Ponies! We almost had a breakfast theme going, but it was never quite official or quite consistent – so welcome to official MUFFIN WEEK! An official name means good things are sure to follow :) Today’s muffin recipe is a simple […]
Peach Cobbler Scones
Little known fact: Carl and I dream of one day owning a fabulous Bed & Breakfast. We’ve stayed at a only a couple of B & B’s in our lives so far, but we love the friendly atmosphere, the great locations, and, obviously, the delicious breakfasts. I don’t eat heavy breakfasts but I would definitely […]
Double Chocolate Waffles
Carl bought “me” a waffle maker for Mother’s Day this year and, while I’ve yet to actually make waffles, I have had some pretty amazing waffles since. I’ve never been a fan of waffles, but I’d also never had homemade waffles – the difference is like that between store-bought Wonderbread and fresh homemade bread: incomparable. […]
Banana Bread Scones
The HEAT, my friends. Oh, the heat. It’s slowly killing me: my creativity, my personality, my skin, my joie de vivre…ergh. We don’t have air conditioning in our house or our car and sometimes I wonder if I will ever feel cool again. We also only have one car, so when I’m at home there […]
