A pork tenderloin that has been coated in a honey, mustard, orange, and garlic glaze, pressed with fresh sage, and roasted on a bed of fresh orange slices. Tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy this is one of the easiest roasts I have ever made. If you are a novice roaster or just don’t feel like…
Fresh Cranberry & Orange Muffins
I can’t think of anything to write for this post other then – I love LOVE love baking with fresh cranberries. Dried berries and canned jellies just don’t do the fruit justice. Not to mention that beautifully bright red color! Talk about festive!! Recipe makes a dozen regular sized muffins or 6 large muffins. Ingredients:…
Butternut Pasta in a Mustard Cream Sauce
Butternut squash pasta with Italian sausage in a sage infused mustard cream sauce. It’s all those things that you love about fall wrapped into a single dish – hearty, spicy, warm, and cozy… but don’t get too excited.

Brown Butter Cake with Dulce de Leche, Toasted Hazelnuts, and Figs
In the past I have been forbidden from baking my own Birthday cakes, something about not laboring on your special day and letting others do all the work in preparation for your birthday celebration. Generally I would agree with the sentiment. It’s the one day out of the year where you should automatically get a…
Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls
The ephemeral bee seems to have become a bread blog lately, and here’s yet another bread recipe for the books. I’m going to chalk it up to my love for freshly baked bread and the cool autumn, perfect for soup, weather. These bread rolls were particularly easy to bake. Requiring only a 5 minute machine…
