I love banana bread. It’s delicious and moist and reminds me of my grandma. The problem with banana bread is that you need 3 bananas, sometimes you don’t have 3 extra ripe bananas.

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter and/or a lovely Sunday! At my church we have a potluck Easter breakfast before the service. It’s a wonderful time to have a bit more conversation with people and enjoy good food together. After much debate, Mom and I agreed that I would make vegetarian quinoa cups andRead more

I’ll post that recipe (and the other recipes from tonight’s SCL dinner) soon, but in the meantime here’s one of my favorite snacks! I’m a big fan of pumpkin. I’ve also totally takenRead more
These muffins were quite tasty. I’m a big fan of olives, but didn’t find these to have an overwhelming olive taste (so if you don’t like them, don’t be scared; if you do like them, you might add some extra).

I have to say that one of my favorite kitchen tools is my mini-muffin pan. There’s just nothing as cute as a mini little bite of something.
