Cinnamon Roll Knots

Carrot Zucchini Chocolate Spice Cake

We use Dutch Processed cocoa powder for a lot of our baking for two reasons: the first is that we love the rich flavor and darker color better than natural cocoa powder, and the second is the smell is outrageously good.

Morning Glory Muffins

Chocolate Pots de Crème

We use dark or bittersweet chocolate chips for this recipe and lately, we’ve been using a mixture of half 60% cacao and half 72% cacao.

Almond Scones with Berry Icing

We find that the best way to get the berry juice, is to simply thaw out about 1 cup of frozen berries in a strainer placed over a bowl, and as they thaw, the juices will drip into the bowl.

Roasted Mushroom Ricotta Bake

When we came up with this recipe, we had just been given a big basket of garden-fresh tomatoes from a friend, but we've since made it with cherry tomatoes from our local grocer as well.

We used four different kinds of fresh berries: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and some of our frozen huckleberries.

This is another dish inspired by Melissa, chef at The Bentwood Inn.

Lemon-Lime Bars

These lemon-lime bars are a fun twist on traditional lemon bars with the combination of freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice! We actually like them better than straight lemon bars, which are hard to beat! These bars store well in the refrigerator for.
