I started making these for (and with) my kids when they were very small. They love all things bread and I was looking to spice things up a little. By spice, I mean... add salt - LOL! We can't resist soft pretzels whenever we are out and about and this home made version is delicious… Continue reading Soft Pretzels

For any of you who have tried and loved the AFO Pulla Bread recipe, you've got to try this! Korvapuusti uses the standard Pulla Bread recipe and turns it into an even sweeter and more sharable (and super adorable!) cinnamon roll.

Buckwheat Banana Pancakes
Buckwheat Banana Goodness Have you ever made or even eaten buckwheat pancakes? I have recently learned that not everyone has! My mom used to make them for us, but so did our Aunt Charlotte.

It is egg-y, a little sweet, a little savory from the cardamom and a hit with most guests. Now I make this with my kids and can't make it through a holiday season without one… Continue reading Finnish Pulla Bread

And so like a good farmer, I went in search of a pumpkin bread recipe as a solution for all three problems. … Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Bread
Pina Colada Zucchini Bread
Everyone who grows zucchini will eventually have one or two zucchini that are WAY too big to eat normally. It's not your fault, the leaves grew up over it, the light was bad, you were on vacation, blah blah blah. I had my first one of the season about two weeks in this year. Oops!… Continue reading Pina Colada Zucchini Bread
