Breads & Muffins
I have to be honest: I don’t really remember making these muffins, like at all. This picture somehow appeared while downloading photos of desserts I distinctly do remember making (like the Hazelnut Layer Brownies that you’re going to go all apeshit for when I get around to posting the recipe around August-ish). I know I made these […]

Because I’m obsessed with food, my digestive system, and more specifically how food affects my (usually pissed-off) digestive system, I’m always fooling around with a new diet. Could there be a way of eating that doesn’t leave me feeling (or looking) 18 weeks pregnant? (If being 18 weeks pregnant feels like a bloated stomach and heartburn […]

I was in an elevator on my way up to a really important work meeting last week when the idea for this recipe jolted me. I thought that maybe the elevator cable had been cut, but it was just the impact of divine inspiration: you need to stuff chocolate macaroons into banana muffins. Fantasizing about Ways […]

Who doesn’t like graham crackers? And since we already know that no one doesn’t like chocolate (not true- I met a lovely woman recently who really doesn’t care for it- strange but true), why not combine the two? I know, I know: the s’mores people already thought of the graham cracker/chocolate combination, but they never […]

How many more ingredients could I cram into the title of this recipe? I’d have added every single one of the following stunning additions to entice you, but thought the current extend-a-name was verging on ridiculous to begin with: Rum Cinnamon Orange Nutmeg Pecans Bananas (obviously) So there you have it- add the above-mentioned flavors […]

These are quite spectacularly excellent, as I know you’d expect pretty much anything with bacon in it to be. A friend brought the LCBO’s most fantabulous Food & Drink magazine on a recent visit (one of the things I miss most about Ontario, but not as much as Niagara-on-the-Lake and Cherry Blasters. Oh, and our families, of […]

Why not take a classic and make it seasonal? Because who doesn’t like the flavor of gingerbread? And who doesn’t like the odd chewy bit of candied ginger? (Okay, you won’t see the candied ginger in the loaf above because I forgot to stir it in. I had a truckload of the crystallized stuff and […]

I will always always always be modifying banana bread and muffins, until the day that my hands are gnarled from arthritis at the age of 96, or if I’m lucky, 97. I love banana bread/muffins, and alternate between my two favorite recipes: Banana Nut Muffins (a bit more rich and buttery, so therefore my true […]

It’s that pumpkin time of year, and so therefore everything is right in the baking world. You know, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Praline Cheesecake with Bourbon Caramel Sauce, Browned Butter Pumpkin Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Tarts… we’ve been there, done that, and we’ll absolutely keep going to the pumpkin patch for more. […]

I needed a recipe to remind me why it’s worth it to bake with yeast again. Because sometimes yeast and I don’t get along… like when I made these Hot Cross Buns (which ended up not so hot… a lukewarmish success at best. Lukewarm Cross Buns. Not Hot.). I found it. (Thanks to Marilyn, the woman […]

Look at them. All 15 of them. 15 Ghirardelli chocolate chips taunting you, begging to be devoured. I should mention that the 15 chips (on the muffin on the right, just in case you’re confused) are merely the chips on top of the muffin, whereas an entire gang of premium chocolate chips have taken up residence inside of […]

Who can’t make a recipe that they stumble across called “Dirt Bombs”? You know by now that I rip recipes out of magazines like there’s no tomorrow (until The Husband gently asks if I need to move any of the ragged pages from the kitchen counter over to my recipe binder, because they really do […]

I am so excited by these! Yeah, we’ve all had blueberry muffins, and I’ve posted more than my share of blueberry-filled recipes. But these. These muffins have a crumbly top, which takes them out of this realm and into another kind of buttery, sugary world. (I think crumble tops make anything better. Maybe I’ll start putting […]

This banana bread is basically a chocolate cake, and for that reason you will love this recipe (and me) forever. This recipe makes two lovely loaves, and takes care of those spotty old bananas on your counter. And it hits that craving for a dense, rich cake right in the banana bullseye. Bonus moment: if […]

Bigger is better when it comes to muffins, eh? (Except when you’re talking about the muffin tops that spill over a perfectly good pair of jeans. Of course.) These muffins don’t look that big in the picture, and for that I am bummed. I bought these rather gargantuous (word?) muffin cups from I don’t remember […]

I just made one of my dreams come true. (Well, technically a dozen dreams, since this recipe makes 12 puffy and sticky and wondiferous cinnamon buns.) Because I know you’re keenly interested, let’s have a discussion about The History of Cinnamon Buns in My Life, shall we? I don’t remember where it started, so I’ll […]

There is something about blueberries and lemon zest and cream cheese… it’s kind of like chocolate and caramel and nuts- they just go together, and you don’t fight it. (But really- check out these Caramel Chocolate Pecan Cubes after you’re done making these muffins.) I have married cream cheese with blueberries before (flash back to the […]

It’s that time of year. Crowds, weird mall Santas, and gingerbread. Gingerbread houses are interesting things, aren’t they? On one hand, they can be beautiful, and yet on the other hand they can seem incredibly germy. The person making the house obviously manhandles the hell out of each piece, and one has to breathe deeply […]
