X is for Xylocarp

What is a xylocarp?  It is a fruit with a hard woody shell.  The best-known xylocarp is a coconut.  And the best way to enjoy coconut?  In a Pina Colada, of course.

Holiday Parties and the Weekly Menu

The holiday season is in full swing on the Farm and our calendar is filling up quickly with outings, gatherings, parties and preparations. I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off....

I'm just kidding.  Those who know me best, know that there is nothing I love more than spending time with my family and friends......

Maple Marinara Sauce #Movies&Munchies

Homemade Marinara sweetened with just a touch of Pure Maple Syrup slow cooked in the crockpot.  I added Meatballs and served it over Spaghetti inspired by the movie Elf.

Cornbread Cupcakes #BreadBakers

These cupcakes contain cornmeal along with the flour.  They are not corn muffins as they are lighter and fluffier than a muffin would be.  They do contain leavening and if you put them into a loaf pan you could call it sweet bread.

Shirin Chorek #EattheWorld #SundayFunday

This sweet bread from Azerbaijan is traditionally served during their holidays of New Year or Ramadan.  It is slightly sweet and with a deep golden brown exterior and a beautiful yellow interior.  It would be a perfect addition to your Holiday Brunch Buffet.

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing Yeast Breads today and the Eat the World Group is visiting Azerbaijan.  I doubled the fun by combining these groups and baking up this Sweet Milk Bread.
