Lee’s Vegan Cornbread
This egg- and dairy-free version of cornbread is the perfect addition to a bowl of chili or a side of greens.
Lemon Tea Bread
This decadent lemony tea bread is the perfect dessert at a brunch or barbecue.
Lee’s Overnight Rolls
Mix the yeast dough for these rolls the night before. In the morning, form the dough into crescents or balls, and bake.
Mom’s Cheese Pepper Bread
Mom used to make the bread, baked in coffee cans, back when my brother was a baby. We finally found the recipe hidden away in a box of Betty Crocker recipe cards.
Grandma’s Brown Bread
This bread was really special to me and my brother, Chris, when we were little. There were certain foods that Grandma always made for us when we came – chocolate chip cookies, pot roast, fresh vegetables from her garden, and this whole wheat bread. She must not have told us that it was good for us, because we ate slice after slice.
Banana-Nut Bread
Saving those browning bananas feels especially virtuous when you use nonfat yogurt to replace some of the fat in the recipe. Toasted pecans add a little healthy fat back in.
Lemon-Raspberry Scones
I’ve made scone exactly once in my life, using these recipe. Studded with lemon peel and fresh raspberries, they’re delicious and easy to make, and really deserve to be a more regular treat.
Glenda’s Quick Bread
The rewards of this bread are great, considering how simple it is to prepare. This is one of aunt Glenda’s recipes that was featured in her local newspaper.
Pizza Dough
Making your own pizza really is a rewarding experience. It’s not complicated and it doesn’t take any special tools, just a little bit of time, and your toppings can be as creative as you are.
Grilled Pizza
I made this pizza at dusk one 4th of July. Just as the pizzas came off the grill, fireworks lit up the sky on the horizon. Rather than miss the show or let the pizza get cold, we ate it standing up on the edge of the porch.
This pizza really isn’t as complicated as it appears from the detailed instructions. If you’re trying this with a gas grill, light only one side of the grill and cook the pizza on the other side.
