I feel like peanut butter and banana is a combination that is only acceptable to people who grew up eating it. Has anyone taken up eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches in adulthood? I’m still working on Carl – he makes disgusted faces every time he sees me eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich […]
Apple Pie Muffins
Well, you all know how I feel about muffins. And how much stronger those feelings are when there’s a streusel topping involved. Mom hit the nail on the head here. I definitely ate a lot of these growing up, and just look how I turned out! ;) Thanks for another great post, Mom! **************************************************** It […]
Orange Sunshine Loaf
This is probably the best loaf I have ever had. Period. I don’t make loaves very often, besides a zucchini loaf I absolutely love. I find I can never get through them before they dry out, since Carl has some kind of aversion to anything called a “loaf”. Put the same ingredients in muffin or […]
Best Ever Banana Muffins
It’s been too long since I posted a muffin recipe! I have been on a muffin making BINGE, and, having made every single muffin recipe known to man (ie. every muffin recipe on this blog), I then realized my mom had included a recipe in our family cookbook entitled “Best Ever Banana Muffins” which I […]
Strawberry Chocolate Muffins
When I think of Valentine’s Day, the first thing that comes to my mind is chocolate-dipped strawberries. I am not one for romance, as my poor husband can attest – I am as likely to make gagging noises and roll my eyes as I am to feel frisky when he pulls out a good line […]
Herb & Garlic Cheese Scones
I’m talking about scones again. Sweet scones, savoury scones, plain scones – I love ’em all. So I talk about them. I hope someone out there cares about scones as much as I do (besides you, Mom, I know you understand :)) I went on a major scone kick awhile back and I’ve been waiting […]
CARROT GINGERBREAD MUFFINS
A huge part of what’s wonderful about doing things homemade is the smell. I was talking to my mom the other day about how great a feeling it is when your kitchen smells amazing, whether it’s fresh baked bread, chocolate chip cookies, simmering soup, or apple crisp. There is something so rewarding about having someone […]
Lemon Cranberry Scones
Happy January Saturday! Has anyone managed to stay healthy this winter? We’re battling our first major round of the winter (hopefully also the last major round!) and it’s reminding me how often I take good health for granted, when there are really few things I’m more thankful for. Despite fevers and throats swollen shut, we […]
Saturday Sweets: EGGNOG CHOCOLATE CHIP LOAF
Eggnog is, as food inventions go, right up there with kale chips in the running for “worst idea ever”. I told you yesterday I’m not a fence-sitter; I have strong opinions, and this is one of them. There are few worse ideas than a nog made of eggs, and this is a creation no amount […]
Mini Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Just when you thought you’d already had enough of pumpkin, I’m here to tell you there is more pumpkin be explored! More to be enjoyed! More to be baked! Maybe this year I’ll even attempt carving a pumpkin for the first time in my life? Also, ’tis the season for pumpkin patches! We ventured out […]
