Make It With Madison

A couple of days ago, I made the mistake of trying to learn the jasmine stitch while watching a tv show. I still really want to learn the jasmine stitch, but wanted something a little easier for a washcloth or something similar to make while watching (being distracted by) my show. After a few variations, I decided to use a combination of simple stitches both for visual appeal and overall simplicity. This washcloth pattern can also be used as an oversized potholder, as it's ma

I know I've posted my banana bread recipe on the blog, but it seems unfair I haven't posted any other breakfast breads. Since I make several varieties, it only makes sense to release some of those recipes onto the blog as well. This is a newer loaf I've started making, with a fluffy cake-like texture on the inside and using honey as the only sweetener.

This is the best recipe I've found for scones, hands down. They turned out so fluffy and moist! The orange-vanilla flavor came through well - even the smell of the scones in the oven was amazing. The glaze is fairly easy to make and really takes the flavor to another level. If you have a stand mixer, I would recommend using it for the scones. It's not necessary, but is helpful.
