Why I chose this recipe: If I ever open a Quick Chick Kitchen bakery or cafe, my QCK Zucchini Bread will be the first thing on the breakfast menu. I am not exaggerating when I say I make multiple batches of my Zucchini Bread and have them ready to go in the freezer so family and friends can enjoy their cup of coffee or afternoon…
Why I chose this recipe: My family loves breakfast. Pancakes, waffles, muffins, banana breads, you name it, they will eat it. Homemade, of course. So while my son was away at golf camp and I was spoiling myself watching hours of Wimbledon (I’m obsessed with tennis) with strawberries and scones on the commentators desks, I got the idea of making a sweet scone for him…
Why I chose this recipe: I told you all that I am obsessed with Scones right now. This recipe came to me when I was visiting the King Arthur Flour store in Norwich, Vermont last week after I dropped my son at sleep-away camp in New Hampshire. There is no way I was driving by King Arthur Flour flagship store without stopping if I was…
Why I chose this recipe: I am obsessed with scones. I am not sure why. The only reason I can come up with is that when I was younger, my grandparents used to take my brother and me to Bermuda each Fall to give my parents a break.

My children also love my muffins as an after school snack. So I have been on a “muffin kick” recently trying to create moist, delicious muffins that also look appealing.…
Why I chose this recipe: Since our blueberry bushes are not mature in Vermont and they do not yet produce the quantity of blueberries I bake with, every year our family goes to a pick-your-own blueberry orchard. When the kids were young we used to call the adventure Forced Family Fun. However, they have finally bought into our annual tradition and actually asked to go…
Why I chose this recipe: We love having friends and family visit us for the weekend, especially in Vermont. Whether it is a cold winter morning before we head to the ski slopes or a hot summer morning before we go down to the lake for endless water sports, I like to serve our guests something delicious, but easy for breakfast. For a lighter breakfast,…
Why I chose this recipe: Almost eighteen years ago I married my husband, John. As they say you marry the family as well. As it turned out, I totally lucked out. One of my favorite in-laws is my husband’s second eldest sister, Eileen. She and I have lots in common, but one of our similarities is our love of cooking and baking. Over the years…
