• mexican cheese bread

  

  Before I get into this, I have to tell you upfront that this isn’t an authentic Mexican recipe at all. What qualifies it to be called Mexican Cheese Bread is simply that you use some ingredients from Mexico. If you can’t find them, use the substitutes specified below, it will still be good. I have […]

• chocolate hazelnut nutella muffins 

  

  I decided to keep things simple, as a muffin recipe should be. So that’s the rationale for keeping this blog post short too. You know what to do when mixing a muffin recipe. You mix the wet and the dry separately, then combine them. Easy-peasy, right? 🙂 Plus, even when I messed up prior workings […]

• apple muffins

  

  Happy New Year! It’s okay to still be saying that, right? It’s like saying “good morning” at 11:45 AM! I feel like posting one’s first blog post of the year in late January is sort of like the equivalent of being the last person in your neighborhood to take down your Christmas decorations! Oh well, […]

• pear hazelnut and chocolate muffins

  

  Just a simple muffin recipe to showcase the wonderful combination of pear, hazelnuts, and chocolate! Feel free to use larger chocolate chips. I can’t even remember what I made last that necessitated buying a bag of these mini chocolate chips, but I think they work very well here; the smaller chips get distributed more evenly […]

• mochi carrot cake

  

  For me it’s all about the rice flour substitute. If it was just regular flour, this would be a rather plain carrot cake. I usually like my carrot cake to be very moist, with pineapple chunks, walnuts, maybe even a little rum, and coconut flakes. I’m really glad I added the spices. I wasn’t going […]

• strawberry flax muffins

  

  Greetings! I usually consider muffins to be more like a breakfast item rather than a dessert, but these muffins…these muffins can certainly pass as dessert, even with the healthier ingredients! In fact, I think I could’ve made them even healthier with whole wheat and less sugar. I do think the quality of the strawberries you […]

• apple carrot muffins

  

  This recipe is for 6 or 7 muffins, depending on how full you fill each muffin mold. It’s also a fairly thick batter. I used this recipe as a rough guide, but wanted to saute the carrots and apple in a little butter, which was a good call, I think. I also doubled the amount […]

• double chocolate muffins

  

  There is something deeply enjoyable to me about getting up early in the morning, like around 5AM, to have coffee with my cat. He and I will hang out in the kitchen, listen to NPR and I will look at recipes online, and then I’ll do a quick check of available ingredients in the pantry […]

• mantecadas

  

  Yesterday, putting my own spin and interpretation on a recipe I saw online, I made what I thought were mantecadas. I was mistaken. I actually made very soft and dainty little yellow cake cupcakes. I was so happy with them! They were great, but they weren’t mantecadas. It wasn’t until later when I did more […]
