Why are mini desserts SO cute? Maybe it's the fact that me, I mean we, convince ourselves it's okay to eat twice the amount and think we did ourselves some sort of huge favor... Maybe it's the cute factor? Yeah, probably the first one. Whatever the reason, I love them, especially these little loaves of lemon blueberry goodness. Tender little quick breads filled with lemon zest and juicy blueberries, baked up to golden perfection and drizzled with lemon glaze. They're like a little burst of sunshine and with Spring taking its sweet ...
Apple Pie Pancakes
Apple pie pancakes - oh, hey Fall! I don't know if it's normal to get this excited about pancakes, but I am, and I'm not one bit sorry about it! I'm also pretty pumped about this awesome holiday campaign I have to tell you all about, along with the amazing new Farberware cookware line that we're giving away so you can make these pancakes, which are everything! Do you think I like them? Okay, so apple pie is the quintessential Fall dessert, but apple pie pancakes have now become my quintessential Fall breakfast and brunch, and maybe dinner ...
Cranberry Orange Crumb Cake
Are you guys settled into the new year? Recovered from the holidays yet? I always find it can take a little time to get back into the swing of things after all the cookie craziness during the holidays, so I wanted to make the transition back into reality a little easier with cake! Cake always helps, and this cranberry orange crumb cake has got it all going on. It's full of bright flavors, easy to make and topped with an epic amount of crumb. And I can't even handle that glaze! I always try to make sure that the first recipe I roll out in ...
Peach Bourbon Crumb Cake
I returned home from vacation with the best of intentions and renewed energy. I was sad to leave Ireland, but I'm always happy to get home, and by home I mean my kitchen. I was filled with ideas for new desserts inspired by my trip. I had lists up the wazoo. Lists in my head, lists on my phone and lists on paper. And anyone who is anyone knows that lists on paper trump everything. Old school all the way. That whole crossing things off makes you feel like a superhero. I will even write something on my list that I've already done just so ...
Classic Banana Bread
I know I'm usually all about the makeovers, adding my own personal spins and of course, zhushing desserts up, but today it's all about a classic. In my opinion, there is nothing better than a fresh baked loaf of banana bread and this one takes the cake, pun totally intended :) A really great banana bread is one recipe you should always have on hand and I thought with summer winding down soon (sorry for bringing that up), it would be a great time to share this with you. Truth is, it's great at any time, but I find I start making it even ...
