A deliciously tipsy banana bread infused with bourbon, pecans and mini chocolate chips.

A simple and delicious recipe for homemade cinnamon swirl bread.
Coffee infused chocolate chip scones finished with a decadent mocha drizzle.
A creamy goat cheese spread is served on toasted baguette and topped with smoked salmon to create a simple and delicious bruschetta.
Last weekend we went to a local pizza restaurant that supposedly has the “best” deep dish pizza outside of Chicago. I hate deep dish pizza.
What’s my favorite thing about any Thanksgiving spread? Hands down, it’s the stuffing! Even though I never cook my stuffing inside of my turkey, I still call it stuffing. I know the correct term is dressing when it is cooked outside of the bird, but we just never referred to as dressing, so I simply …
Although I consider myself to be somewhat adventurous when it comes to food, I had never experienced Indian cuisine until last summer. On a whim, I decided I wanted to go out for Indian food; Brian reluctantly obliged. We had preconceived ideas of Indian dining, specifically the sweating scene from Along Came Polly, so we …
I adore quick breads, they have a certain appeal to them…beyond their ease of preparation–to me they exude a high level of hominess and are the perfect giftable baked good! If you are a baking newbie, a quick bread is well, quick and is leavened through the use of a chemical leavener such as baking …
Yes, my friends another pumpkin recipe. I forewarned everyone that my blog is going to be “chock full” of pumpkin in my pumpkin biscotti post. Well, actually there was an initial typo in that description… let’s just say I left out the “h” in chock. Ya catch my drift? However, one of my lovely readers, …
I originally saw this recipe over at the Pioneer Woman’s site and was immediately intrigued because I just so happened to have zucchini in my fridge. Rarely do I post recipes when I make them from her site because she has such a large following and provides step by step instructions with great photos. I …
I am not blessed to live on a piece of land that will accomodate a large lush garden; however, I do reep the benefits of friends’ overflowing crops. This arrangement is awesome because it means I have no gardening to do, and since I have the tendency to kill everything, this is a good thing! …
First, I would like to happily say that part one of my exam is finished and turned in to the university! Thank you for your kind words and support! I would also like to inform you that my diet of sour gummy worms and coca-cola has been swapped out for real food, although I think …
This week’s recipe for Mango Bread was chosen by Kelly of Baking with the Boys. Since we are not really mango fans, I decided to go ahead with the TwD recipe and just make some drastic changes! I was actually not going to make this recipe, but since I flubbed last week’s tart, I figured …
On Saturday morning, I was browsing the internet and came across a banana bread recipe that caught my eye. Ironically, I had brown speckled bananas sitting on my counter…so I figured I would get my lazy behind into the kitchen and do something somewhat productive. Now, most of you that read my blog know I …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!! I am a wee bit Irish; therefore, I wanted to throw together a St. Patrick’s Day inspired post. Last night I had a little time on my hands, so I thought I would whip together some Irish Soda Bread and some festive cupcakes. I have never made Irish Soda Bread before, …
After weeks and weeks of sweet treats, the TwD gang had the opportunity to make something savory. This week’s recipe is for Corn and Pepper Muffins and was chosen by Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake. I was a little apprehensive about making these since I prefer sweet corn bread as opposed to savory, but the …
About a week ago, I received an email from Oh Nuts (the name made me giggle), an online store that distributes nuts, dried fruits, chocolates, etc. The email stated that they viewed my blog and asked if I would like to receive some free products to use in my recipes. Of course, I responded to …
I do not know what my problem is, but it seems as though I cannot consume my bananas before they hit that nasty, brown, spotted stage. Maybe I subconsciously let them turn that way so I have an excuse to bake. Well, whatever the reason I had some bananas to use up, so I hit …
I joined the Daring Bakers with hopes of pushing myself to create things outside of my normal repertoire. Well this challenge definitely did that, I never thought I would make my own crackers…actually the thought probably never would have crossed my mind. Honestly, I was a little disappointed when I read what my first recipe …
I had four really brown (disgusting) bananas hanging out on my counter which left me with two options a.) throw them in the trash or b.) make something banana-y. I decided to go with the latter and make some bread. I love banana bread especially when it is smeared with some butter. I have tried …
