• 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 […]

• 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 […]

• guava poppy seed quick bread with cream cheese icing

  

  This is a quick, tall, not too dense quick bread that is moist and has good flavors! What more could you ask for? Have you ever wondered whether you can substitute cream cheese for the butter in a cake or quick bread? It turns out you can, but you may want to add a little […]

• banana rum cake

  

  Good Morning! Ben and I are celebrating one of our anniversaries! Today is the anniversary of the day we met, sixteen years ago! Crazy, huh? Even though we also have a wedding anniversary every June and usually do not have big celebrations with either, this one feels more special to us. I think because for […]

• rosehip nut bread

  

  Okay, I promise this is the last time you’ll be seeing rosehips here. Haha! Lessons learned from a overeager weekend forager: Rugosa rosehips may seem ripe, but if you wait a few more weeks, their colors deepen even more, and they get a little softer. Debate is still out whether their flavor deepens, too, although […]

• fig tamarind marble pound cake

  

  During these troubling times, it can help to find joy in little things. As a food and baking  blogger, I sometimes feel odd spending my spare time obsessing over recipes, writing them out, and taking photos of stuff when outside my window the world looks like it’s slowly being destroyed. But I think it’s essential […]

• morning glory muffins

  

  Lately I’ve been attracted to make simple, familiar things that aren’t too complicated. I think it’s probably in response to the complicated world we now live in, and a yearning for simple and homey things that remind me of a simpler time. This was a recipe I tried several years ago, and this time I […]

• banana bread

  

  Happy December! What a year it has been! Over the past year, I’ve been perfecting how to make a humongous loaf of banana bread using a Pullman loaf pan. I’ve probably made one of these once every other month for the past year. I bring them in to work. I have a lot of coworkers. […]
