National Donut day is Friday, and it has been quite a while since I did a new donut recipe. I was thinking about a cake donut that would incorporate some oats. So, I got out the donut pans and started doing some baking. I have to tell you that my first attempt at these were …

Orange Cinnamon Waffles
It's National Waffle Day, and I had an idea for a great new waffle, full of flavor yet very simple to make. Many moons ago, when I was in college, I worked at a mom-and-pop breakfast diner whose specialty was pancakes and waffles. Their waffles were light and fluffy with a crispy crust that soaked …
Pumpkin Orange Bread
Autumn is the ideal time for pumpkin recipes, and I have a great one for you today. This pumpkin bread is a bit different, with a brighter more pumpkin-y flavor. Some years ago I made pumpkin bread using a standard recipe with ginger, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon - really it was a pumpkin spice bread. …
Honey Crisp Applesauce with Cinnamon

This one …
Cranberry Cinnamon Scones
These cream scones are wonderful plain, but I wanted to make them a little more special for He Who Loves Cinnamon. With autumn on the way, a little more spice and flavor is in order and cranberries fit the mood. I've made the plain cream scones from a Southern Living recipe many times, so …
Banana Bread and Flying Geese
It is a cold and cloudy day outside, and that means baking is in order. I had some bananas I needed to use as they were looking a little brownish. My recipe for banana bread is probably much the same as yours with one exception. Cinnamon. My husband loves cinnamon. I think he would eat …
