Bonfire Tea Muffins are the perfect fall treat, full of raisins and pecans and perfumed with fall spices and Adagio Tea’s Bonfire Tea. Adagio Tea sent me some teas to play with, and my favorite so far, the Bonfire Tea, resulted in these muffins. When Adagio Tea contacted me about trying some of their teas,…
Pumpkin Sage Cake–for a loaf or bundt pan
Unexpected, sophisticated and delicious, Pumpkin Sage Cake is a wonderful addition to your pumpkin baking repertoire. Affiliate links have been used in this post to link to items I am discussing.

Agave Lemon Cake
I had mixed feelings about whether I should participate in #ElleAPalooza. I did not know Elle, who it turns out was actually named LeeAnn, but I most definitely knew her blog, Elle’s New England Kitchen.

Rosemary, Lemon & Olive Oil Tea Bread
I have to apologize for the photos of this bread. I baked the bread for a meeting of my book club (one held at someone else’s house), and like a dunce totally forgot to take any pictures in my house, with my lighting and my camera. So I just snapped a few shots with my…
