Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins!

I put the ! after my recipe title because honestly, who’d have thought? I am CONSTANTLY looking for ways to use my fresh strawberries that are starting to turn the corner to “now or never” and these muffins were so good.

Kick-Ass Pumpkin Bread

Raise your hand if you went to high school for a couple of years in the late nineties and signed everybody’s yearbook with “Have a kick ass summer!”  That’s how this pumpkin bread is.  Totally kick-ass.

Caramel Apple Bread Pudding

Well all, fall is officially here, and I have been too busy to enjoy it so far (to say the least!)  We have been moving to a new home, putting our “old house” on the market, preparing for a trip to Disneyland (in 3 days!) dealing with a sickie poo kiddo, and generally been running around like… Continue reading Caramel Apple Bread Pudding

This recipe, however, is… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart

Double Chocolate Banana Bread

My future sister-in-law, Lexie, sent me this recipe on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago, with the message “I want this.”  When I went and looked at the recipe, I had to agree- I wanted this too. Chocolate and banana bread aren’t two things that I would have thought would be too terribly great together,… Continue reading Double Chocolate Banana Bread

Spiced Applesauce Streusel Bread

I love making sweet quick breads (that are really cakes) and calling them “breads,” because it makes me feel so much healthier- even though I’m not fooling anybody. This applesauce streusel bread is one of those love at first bite kind of breads.  It is packed full of the flavors of fall- cinnamon, apples, pumpkin… Continue reading Spiced Applesauce Streusel Bread
