Maple Blueberry Loaf

June 12, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I love the combination of blueberries and maple. I know it may be a little incongruous, sweet summer berries and a flavor more associated with fall, but it is a fabulously deep and sweet combination. I tinkered around with various ideas for a loaf of quick bread or cake combining the two, and with this recipe absolutely hit the jackpot. Dense maple-y cake with pops of berry in … [Read more...] about Maple Blueberry Loaf

Pimento Cheese and Country Ham Corn Muffins

April 10, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Easter and country ham go hand in hand to me. Whether it’s a large piece of ham for slicing, or sandwiched into biscuits or added to stuffed eggs. I pretty much always include it on the buffet.

Moist cornmeal muffins flavored with … [Read more...] about Pimento Cheese and Country Ham Corn Muffins

Molasses Marble Cake

Though I fantasize about afternoon tea … [Read more...] about Molasses Marble Cake

I’ll be honest, the first time I set out to make this cake, my idea was to use purple plums, which I had seen at the farmers market the previous week. At that Saturdays market though, there were no plums, but I had promised to make a fruity coffee cake for a girls’ brunch the next day. Fortunately, I found some lovely, rosy nectarines and knew they would work just as well and … [Read more...] about Nectarine and Almond Coffee Cake with Whipped Honey Yogurt

Fresh Strawberry Biscuits with Chocolate Gravy

May 6, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I have combined a lot of words I like here. Strawberries and biscuits and chocolate. I’m not sure I can do any better for a strawberry season brunch treat. I think strawberries and chocolate are a timeless pairing, though usually found in desserts and candies. Of course, I’m not saying you can’t eat these for dessert, but they make a really lovely surprise on a breakfast or … [Read more...] about Fresh Strawberry Biscuits with Chocolate Gravy

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
