Grain-Free Butter Bread
After some trepidation, I finally decided to grant the roughly 1,000 food wishes for a grain-free butter bread recipe. And it exceeded my expectations! Without wheat flour and yeast, it won't be true bread. But if you're off carbs, and have been dreaming about a nice slice of buttered toast with your eggs, this is well worth a try.

Apple-Berry Pie
A wonderful pie brimming with apples and blackberries.
Pumpkin Walnut Bread
I got this pumpkin walnut bread recipe from a coworker years ago at a company potluck. It's goof proof — even kids can make it! Add fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a great summer dessert. I give these loaves as gifts at Christmas too, just add a bow and voilà!
