There is close to 400 recipes here at Home Joys now. And they are badly in need of organization. Even I often can't quickly find the recipe I want.
So this winter, I'm going to try organizing the recipes here. I'm saying this out loud to give me some accountability to get it done. (I won't mention how many winters I have had this goal and never even started the project.) I began with the bread and sourdough recipes. You'll find the bread page and sourdough page have been recently updated. I hope this makes it easier to find a recipe. To cut this project into bite-sized pieces, I plan to choose one topic and make an index post about it. Then I can link to it on the Recipe Page.
I decided to start with Flo's Coffee Cakes. All year we have enjoyed her recipes. Here is a one-stop place to find links for them all. There is not a bad one in the bunch and the only trouble I have is in deciding which one to make for our Christmas brunch.

Apricot Sunshine Coffee Cake
Raspberry Streusel Coffee Cake

Flo's cakes really are awesome! Gina, you do a wonderful job with this lovely and lively blog! Organizing topics is a great idea, but if you don't make it happen this time around, no complaints here! I have returned to the 'miracle bread' a couple of times, and have not had trouble finding it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouragement! I'd love to be more organized - but sometimes life gets in the way of computer goals!

There's another one of Flo's Cakes you shared in February 2014, Finnish Coffee Cake. I made it for our Sunday School Class...they loved it and just about finished it :-)
ReplyDeleteOops! I missed that one! I'll add it to the list! That is a great one!

I think I just gained five pounds looking at the pictures. These are terrific recipes! And I am having to restrain myself from running and baking them all right this minute.
ReplyDeleteHi Gina! We are having a benefit supper/silent auction & bake sale on the 31st for our adoption. I am planning to use a number of these coffee cakes. :-) I have a question: do you think it's possible that we may print the pictures for our guests to see "inside" them? I know I won't be able to make all of them ahead to take pictures and we can't cut the sale products! Our email is on our blog at: shehastaenjoygoodinourlabor.blogspot.com. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should add that I figured folks can't see these tempting insides stuck in a pan ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'll contact Flo and email you. I don't think she'll mind but since they are her photos, I want to ask Flo.

I understand! Thank you :)
