I have a Nordicware "Christmas Tree" pan that I like using for the holidays, It's a ring of eight vertical Christmas trees.  It is tricky however, finding recipes that will be firm enough or hold together well enough to mold and unmold/release well with no issues.

If you want an example of that pan, I used it for a pandoro in this thread, there's a pic that will give you an idea of the pan.

Oh my Gosh!!  I just made the BBA Cornbread and it was awsome.  You have to try it.  It was really easy, but plan ahead when you want to have the cornbread, because you have to soak the coarse cornmeal overnight.  We made a batch of chilli and cornbread for the cold evenings we have had and the cornbread disappered before we sat down to eat the chilli!!  I will make another and take some pics!  A++ on this one.

Hi all, I was wondering about doing some prep work for the holidays Christmas Eve and Day my family hosts the extended family for a dinner, I've been experimenting withbreadmaking for the last few months and have an italian bread recipe that I quite like, as well I'm getting pretty good at making french bread, but I've made a point of learning without time constraints, I bake when I have time and

My sweet bread-loving best friend suffered a heart attack last year, and since then I've been searching for and experimenting with lower-fat, healthy versions of his favourite recipes.  This incredibly easy moist, delicious loaf, adapted from Bonnie Stern's Best of HeartSmart Cooking is not only lower in fat, but what fat it contains is mono or polyunsaturated, which boosts HDL (good) cholesterol. 

I lived in Philly years ago and would go to the Reading Terminal Market in the center of town to buy the most delicious soft pretzels made by the Amish. I am trying to find an authentic recipe to make these tasty gems at home. Is there anyone who has a "real" version of this delectable delight?

I have a crate full of ripe pears and am looking for a recipe that will utilize them...anyone have a quick bread recipe for the pretty things?

Today I made banana bread and threw in a handful of super ripe raspberries.

Oh man was it good.

That got me thinking: what other things would be good in banana bread? I've done walnuts, blueberries, lemon zest, and chocolate chips, and I've heard about throwing in dried apricot. What about dried mango? Or pineapple, either canned or dried?

Here's a tried and true recipe I've used for at least fifteen years. I got it from a magazine or newspaper, I think. You can add fruit, nuts, chocolate, or just bake them plain. Not overly sweet, and with some nutritious ingredients. They come together quickly. You can decide to make them and be taking them out of the oven no more than 30 minutes later. Yields about 2 dozen minis or 1 dozen large, though I rarely get more than 10 big ones.
