• healthier chocolate cake

  

  This chocolate cake has a few unusual things about it: There is a fair amount of oat bran in it. It also uses two apples that you puree with some molasses and coffee first. Lastly, there are a few healthier substitutions that keep it from being too decadent: whole wheat flour instead of cake flour, […]

• banana tahini muffins

  

  A question. At what point does an ingredient get to be part of the name for the recipe? Does it need to be a prominent flavor component? Does it need to be a certain percentage of the overall weight of the finished product? I won’t bore you with the details, but today I had the […]

• orange poppy seed bread

  

  This quick bread came about because I couldn’t resist buying a huge bag of poppy seeds for $3.99 at the local grocery store. It just felt like such a steal! Then it sat in the pantry because I couldn’t figure out what to do with it! Until now. And although lemon poppy seed paired together […]
