Streusel Topping with or without Nuts
Here’s a recipe that will amp up anything it’s added to with minimal effort. Streusel Topping is most likely the easiest recipe on this blog. Because it only requires the mixing of a few ingredients, it’s my favorite way to spice up my desserts. A lot of my muffin recipes are topped with streusel topping,…
Mint Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Disclaimer: I truly have no idea in which recipe category this Mint Chocolate Chip Banana Bread belongs. It started out as a breakfast bread. I mean, it is banana bread, after all. But, then, slowly, unwittingly, it morphed into a dessert. The mint chocolate and ganache and a liberal sprinkling of candy canes kind of…
Zucchini Bread- Easy and Freezer-Friendly
My children humble me on an almost daily basis. Case in point: my son told me this past weekend, “I really love zucchini.” Me, being the humble person I am, thought, “Well, clearly I’m an amazing mother. He loves vegetables and has a love of healthy food. He takes after me.” Come to find out,…
Panzanella Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
I had to take a break from pretty much everything last week. My birthday was last Tuesday, which is great. I mean, I didn’t die last year! Whoo-hoo! However, three days later, my birthday is followed by my late mother’s birthday. “Late” being the operative word. I miss my mother more than ever, so last…
Mardi Gras King Cake Filled with Fun
I was recently away on a work trip to California. Long story short: I loved it, I learned a lot, and now I’m pining for luxury. None of that matters, and the only luxury I’m getting is this Mardi Gras King Cake. It was inspired after seeing a guy lug a three foot box onto…
Holiday Leftovers Breakfast Casserole
I’m ready for the holidays to be over; like for real, for real. There are so many airs to put on throughout the holidays- even if it’s unintentional. “Pretend you like this gift, pretend you like that co-worker”…it’s just too much. I’m grateful for the celebration, don’t get me wrong. Time just needs to hustle along. One good…
Pumpkin-Pecan Babka with Cinnamon-Maple Glaze
I’ve decided that I’m not going to overdo it on pumpkin this year- well, maybe a little. While pumpkin seems to be the highlight of the fall season; apple, maple, and cranberries deserve some props, too. But, those are for other posts. This Pumpkin-Pecan Babka with Cinnamon-Maple Glaze is something that I love to prepare…
Brioche: The Bread of All Breads (according to me)
Look at that. That brioche is sitting there like a cherubic little baby in its blanket. It’s the most precious sight in the whole world, I tell ya. In my cookbook, I mention(in great detail, I might add) how much I thoroughly enjoyed my first taste of a French brioche on a visit to Paris. Sitting in…
Peanut Butter & Jelly Stuffed French Toast
It’s no secret that I’m not a morning person. Lately, though, I’ve been waking up at four AM to go to the gym with the Soldier, and it kind of pisses me off. Yes, exercise is necessary at my age. But, let’s be real, I’m already married, I don’t need to look good anymore. He’s…
