Healthy Apple Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

“May 1st” has been a big thing at my house lately.  Something uttered daily, in fact.  You see, my sister is getting married in Hawaii in September.  I am maid-of-honor and there will be hundreds of photos taken of me, and I refuse to be fat. That said, I don’t like to torture myself by… Continue reading Healthy Apple Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Chocolate and Coconut Macaroon Bars

This is me every time somebody (namely, my husband) says they don’t like coconut: I was really desperate for some coconut macaroons tonight.  I’m not sure why.  Sometimes the mood just strikes.  I keep the two essential ingredients for macaroons (coconut and eggs) on hand at all times for just this reason. I decided to… Continue reading Chocolate and Coconut Macaroon Bars

Pumpkin Banana Bread

I am a big banana bread person.  I love it.  I don’t get depressed when I see the bananas I bought earlier in the week slowly browning and rotting away.  I get excited, because it means I’ll get to make some banana bread or banana muffins or something.

Carrot Cake Loaf with Cream Cheese Frosting

Oh, lets not call this cake.  Lets call this bread.  You know, so we can eat it for breakfast.  I feel like I should give a disclaimer that this bread absolutely does not need cream cheese frosting to be good.  However, I still recommend you add it, because it’s delicious with it, and because you… Continue reading Carrot Cake Loaf with Cream Cheese Frosting

Do you like snickerdoodles?  Do you like bread? If you answered “no” to those questions, what are you doing here on this blog? I am obsessed with snickerdoodles and with bread, so, obviously, I am obsessed with this new recipe for snickerdoodle bread. Question: If something has the word “snickerdoodle” in the title, can we… Continue reading Snickerdoodle Bread

Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

Confession: Somewhere along the way, writing a food blog turned me into a snob. I mean, I’m not insufferable.  I’m not one of those “oh, I would sooner die before I would use a box of cake mix” people, but as a general rule, while I cook with mixes, etc., often, I don’t often blog… Continue reading Cinnamon Sugar Cookies
