Blueberry Lemon Honey Pound Cake

This is a great pound cake to give as a gift (just wrap in a tea cloth with a piece of kitchen twine or ribbon). I took it up to my in-laws farm just out of the oven and we couldn't get enough of it. The hint of lemon is refreshing, honey is sweet and the blueberries add a refreshing bite to the dense cake.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

There is something that we can all make in our sleep—something that when guests are coming over, we can whip up in a jiffy and know that it will turn out perfectly every time. Chocolate chip cookies are my go-to, reliable, crowd-pleasing winner. I can make them with my eyes closed, have the recipe memorized (it's super easy) and always have the ingredients in my pantry.
