    Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake

    This recipe dates back to 2011 when Jamie was working in Portland, Maine. One of the signature dishes at the bakery she working at was a Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake, and it was so popular that she was baking it 4-5 days per week. The second this baby comes out of your oven, you will…

    Rick The Baker’s Banana Bread

    We were lucky to grow up in a household that both celebrated and encouraged cooking. Our mom cooked dinner almost every night and on Wednesday’s it was our dad’s turn to cook.

Since we always have place cards at Thanksgiving, we thought we would make cookies decorated with everyone’s names as the place card.…
