Baked Blueberry & Peach Pancakes

Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
Generally when I bake, I make biscuits, scones or muffins, as I prefer to limit my sugar intake and just so happen to be blessed with a preference for savory over sweet. Still, there are many sugary delights to experiment with and this is where frien

If you can imagine the sweet and tart perfume of fresh cherries, just multiply that thought by a dozen or more factors and you'll have an idea of the most perfectly cherry-like of aromas that is obtained by cooking dried sour cherries. And if that i
