The Best Einkorn Challah Bread Recipe EVER!
I love to make bread. I love the entire process – the mixing, the kneading, the rising, the shaping, and then the delicious smell of baking bread wafting through the entire house! There’s nothing more delicious than a warm piece of freshly baked bread coated in butter or jam. I love it! I also love different kinds of breads for different reasons. My favorite kind of bread is challah, a Jewish Sabbath bread that is typically braided or knotted. Challah is beautiful to look at, and with a hint of sweetness from honey, it tastes delicious too! If you want to try your hand at making bread, here is my…
The Most Incredible Banana Bread Muffins Ever!
One of the very first recipes I ever learned to make was banana bread. My mom used to buy bananas and set them on the counter, but my siblings and I would turn our noses up if there were ANY brown spots at all on the bananas, so inevitably we had the perfect bananas for banana bread every week!

My kids prefer muffins to slices of crumbly bread, and quite honestly, I prefer them eating muffins too so there aren’t tiny crumbs all over the house!…

The magical part of this dessert…
The Best Ever Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Loaf
My favorite thing to order at Starbucks is a Tall Vanilla Latte and a slice of their Pumpkin Loaf. It’s SO good, and the sweet pumpkin bread with the bitter coffee is the perfect combination on a cool fall morning. Imagine my surprise when I cracked open my trusty old BHG Cookbook to make a pumpkin spice loaf and found out it is probably the EXACT SAME RECIPE that Starbucks uses! It tastes literally the same, but I’ve made it a lot better for your digestive system by switching out the regular flour with Einkorn flour and upping the spice content. I feel like my reliable BHG is a bit…
