Zucchini, Cheddar & Herb Quick Bread
Zucchini, Cheddar & Herb Quick Bread Here we have the best of all worlds – bread that you don’t have to wait on to rise, and besides that it’s brimming with chunks of cheddar cheese and herbs. It’s so good when it’s warm right from the oven, or toasted...

Some of my Favorite Spring Recipes
Chickpea Hummus with Homemade Tahini & Green Olives
Chickpea Hummus with Homemade Tahini & Green Olives With these recipes, we try to take the ho hum hummus that you often see at parties (usually from the grocery store and full of preservatives) and add some texture and color. The result is a rich,...
Chocolate Dipped Pecan Biscotti
