I think I looked at about fifty different banana muffin and bread variations before finally deciding to make these muffins. My objective was to make something healthy but special. I didn’t want plain old banana bread and I sure didn’t want something that was boring and dry. Luckly, I had bookmarked Jenny’s recipe for these [...]
Dessert for Breakfast or Breakfast for Dessert
I might be an oatmeal girl most days of the week, but pancakes and other sweet treats will always have a special place in my heart. Often, when we go on vacation, we will try to balance breakfast with an egg white omelet and a side of donuts, pancakes or waffles. We all deserve to [...]

Accidentally Scuffins
Sometimes recipe experiments don’t work out. Sometimes they work, just a little differently than you expect. I set out to make scones, but I ended up with scuffins! A scuffin is basically the hybrid of a scone and a muffin. These Cinnamon Apple Chunk Scuffins are hearty, chewy, and flavorful. Like scones, they aren’t too [...]
Peanut Butter Cheesecakes and Avoiding Weight Gain
You already know that my pants don’t fit. I don’t know about you, but I find it nearly impossible to diet around this time of year. It is so cold out that the last thing I want to eat is salad. What really appeals to me are dishes like chili, lasagna, fresh baked cookies… comfort [...]
