Cream Cheese Banana Bread

I shared this Cream Cheese Banana Bread Recipe originally in 2012. It still gets traction, especially when the weather is perfect for baking or when you are just having a DAY.  Other awesome banana bread recipes include Elvis Banana Bread and Healthy Pumpkin Banana Bread. Cranberry Pecan Banana Bread is also a winner! Original rambling …

Strawberry Muffins

I do realize that it isn’t strawberry season anymore. So let me explain. Evan LOVES strawberries. And when I spied them on sale at the end of the season I got just a little overzealous with my purchase. He happily raided the strawberry container in the refrigerator for about 4 days, and then some of …

Maple Oatmeal Breakfast Bread

Breakfast is easily my favorite meal of the day. Unless dessert is a meal. I love breakfast for lots of reasons. Some of them include waffles with whipped cream. Or “Ah-lah-modey”.

Basil Butter

You can make it into treats that are drenched in pink sprinkles. Chex Mix, anyone? Corn Flakes are smashed and sprinkled over casserole. Chicken is dredged in cereal crumbs and baked …

Lemony Snickety Snack

The upcoming Easter holiday inspired me to buy a ridiculously large bage of lemons and then proceed to add lemon juice, lemon slices, and lemon zest to everything I’m cooking. When I plunked the gimantico bag of lemons into the shopping cart, ignoring the raised eyebrow that Chad threw my way (he has learned not …

A Sister’s Request

My littlest sister is a pretty proficient kitchen-ista (our other sister is the brownie/pumpkin muffin queen; her ability to bake any and everything into muffin cups can’t be touched). Every once in awhile she sends me a completely random photo of something she found a minute to prepare (though I have no idea when she …
