Had a sweet tooth today on a really cold/wet/gray day. Played with a recipe to see if I could lower the fat and it worked great! I swapped out the butter called for and instead used low fat cream cheese. Don’t use non fat though, it doesn’t bake well.

These quick to make biscuits are awesome right out of the oven for breakfast or for dessert. I used for the baking mix Bisquick© Heart Smart – it has less fat, calories and sodium than regular. Use what you prefer/have on hand though. With the jam, I used more of my good friend Cat’s homemade [...]

Kirk was in San Francisco this week and as he left to come home he picked me up a loaf of bread from Boudin Bakery. (My husband is the ultimate one for a foodie! ) It was a very tasty loaf of sourdough.
I had bread left over the next day and no way [...]
