    cookies and cream snack cake

    The thought had crossed my mind that from now on, I could just make this the Oreo cookies and cream blog, but that would get pretty boring after a few months. Haha! I guess I really like Oreo cookies though. Come to think of it, they are my favorite store bought cookie. I promise though…

    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…

    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?

    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…

  • orange rosehip teacake

    orange rosehip teacake

    Good morning! Ever since we started working from home back in March, on my days off, I’ve been spending more time walking along what is called the Interurban trail, which is a 14-mile paved, bike and pedestrian trail with plenty of greenery as well as ample opportunities for foraging fruit! A few days ago, I…

  • lime coconut cassava snack cake

    lime coconut cassava snack cake

    This is an uncomplicated cake with subtle flavoring. If you want, you can make decorative swirls of lime zest or even a thin lime slice or wedge to top each square of cake. If you want more lime flavor, you can add more lime zest to the cake batter and just use more lime juice…

  • chocolate mocha quick bread

    chocolate mocha quick bread

    I solved the dilemma of whether to call it a cake loaf, or a loaf cake, by deciding on calling it a quick bread instead! Haha! Having said that, though, it really is more like a cake than a bread, I think. But whatever! Call it what you want. It’s an easy recipe with more…
