Bacon and Beet Hash

Posted on April 5, 2023 by sparecake

Made this one for the library’s Page to Table (cookbook potluck book club) event last week and quite liked it! The fact that you start with vegetables sort of makes me forget that there’s beef and bacon and I think … Continue reading →

Strawberry Snacking Cake

Posted on June 22, 2022 by sparecake

A tasty summery cake that comes together comes together pretty quickly. Because you’re mixing sliced strawberries with some sugar to start with, I thought I could get away with buying frozen sliced strawberries with sugar – this turns out to … Continue reading →

Creamy Brazilian Cornmeal Cake

Posted on January 26, 2022 by sparecake

Cornmeal cake with a sort of custard center. I’m not always into this texture, but this time it works for me. This cake is apparently commonly eaten at breakfast and with afternoon coffee, plus it makes a good dessert. Ingredients: … Continue reading →

Apple Graham Coffee Cake Muffins

Posted on January 5, 2022 by sparecake

When your friend at a mill gives you some special flour, it’s time to get googling for recipes! The problem with the original recipe I turned up for unbolted/graham flour was that it was 12 muffins, which turned out so … Continue reading →

Freezer Breakfast Burritos

Posted on March 3, 2021 by sparecake

I really like breakfast burritos, but hadn’t had one in…maybe 12 years?? Weird. Time to fix that, in a way that has them available whenever you ‘need’ one! You cook the insides of these, and then have to let everything … Continue reading →

Bacon-Apple Pancakes

Posted on February 10, 2021 by sparecake

Barely even counts as a recipe, but super worth making! I got some bacon that came from one of my coworker’s pigs, so it’s real good bacon, and I wanted to do something more interesting than I usually do with … Continue reading →

Breakfast Crumble Pie

Posted on September 23, 2020 by sparecake

Apparently breakfast pies can be a thing? I suppose if danish can be for breakfast, no reason you couldn’t have a fruit and granola type pie! Serve with some plain yogurt and a bit of honey for breakfast, or a … Continue reading →

Apple Spiral Bread

Posted on August 12, 2020 by sparecake

A pretty spiral bread I’ve been meaning to make for years. Realistically if you cut your apple slices into smaller pieces, you could make tighter (=prettier) spirals, but I just went with how the slices came from the apples. Ingredients: … Continue reading →

Melt In Your Mouth Blueberry Cake

Posted on July 29, 2020 by sparecake

Another one from the Amish cookbook, but this time not enough to feed 800 people at once. Actually, they say it’s often served crumbled into milk, so if you’re eating it alone, slowly enough that it got stale, you could … Continue reading →

Orange Grape-Nut Muffins

Posted on May 22, 2019 by sparecake

Like 2 weeks ago, I’m still slowly working my way through a box of Grape-Nuts at work. These muffins are kind of mild but tasty, and a lasting sort of filling. A good thing to have for breakfast/snack on a … Continue reading →
