I don’t usually make muffins because they tend to be a bit indulgent, but aren’t quite indulgent enough to feel like a dessert. Well, these muffins are the perfect solution. I loved these because they’re just the right amount of sweet and are full of good-for-you ingredients. These muffins are perfect for breakfast with theirRead more
I’ve been getting tons of zucchini and summer squash from my CSA. It’s a challenge to keep up with them all, but these muffins are definitely going to be made again. After my cousins came over for an impromptu sleepover, I made these in the morning to give them a healthy treat for breakfast. EveryoneRead more
As soon as I saw this recipe I knew that’s what my bananas were destined for. And then, with 3 nicely blackened bananas on my counter, I read the recipe…and realized I only needed 1 banana. So this recipe is heavily adapted so I could use my 3 bananas. It turned out as deliciously asRead more
Muffins are a weakness of mine. There’s nothing quite like the taste of a pillowy-soft muffin. These blueberry muffins are packed with blueberries and are super tender. These are best eaten the day they’re made, but if you can’t eat them all in a day you can store them in an airtight container or freezeRead more
This cake was gorgeous. It just might be the perfect treat for Christmas morning. The cranberries are bright bursts of tart juice, the batter is full of sweet orange flavor, and the cake is light and fluffy. With the cranberries, this isn’t a very sweet cake, so it’s great for brunch or tea. This isRead more
So this is one of the desserts I made for Friday night’s Carroll Cafe. I had made a Cinnamon Sugar Zucchini Cake, and as I was slicing it to serve I sampled a piece and was HORRIFIED by how it turned out! It was gummy and weird and totally not cake-like. I’m not sure whatRead more
These were delicious. The perfect taste of fall flavors. Dad said they were the best muffins he’s ever had. My only complaint is that the recipe only made 10! Next time I’ll definitely be (at least) doubling the recipe! These are super moist due to the combination of butter, oil and applesauce. The fresh appleRead more
Ok, so our kitchen is being redone. Which is hugely exciting! But also means that my cooking options are rather limited for the next couple weeks. I’ll still try to keep up with posting, but they won’t all be recipes. While we’re trying to clear out the entire kitchen, the last thing I’ve wanted toRead more
This purple people eater is a delicious summer-time treat. It’s crazy hot in the DC area now, so flavorful, nutrient-dense drinks are super appealing. I used the blackberries Mom and I picked last week (in the rain…so much more pleasant than roasting in the sun). This is also a great use of bananas that areRead more
How do you like your bananas? I’m a pretty firm believer in eating them when they’re completely yellow, I’ll even take a hint of green. Once the spots start they’re overripe and I wait until they’re good and splotchy and use them for baking. Lately it seems like my bananas are ripening faster than ever,Read more
