I swear, bananas do not last long in my house. Maybe it's because my kitchen is so warm and humid, or because we'll at a few bananas and then forget about the rest, but at least 1-2 bananas goes bad before we can get to them. Right now we are in 'waste not, want not'… Continue reading Banana Pineapple Bread

Blueberry Biscuit Bake
There's no better way to start the day than with a big breakfast. I'm a savory breakfast kind of gal. I always order protein and eggs when I'm at a restaurant. Sometimes, if I'm feeling frisky, I'll order a stack of pancakes...and then only eat half of one. I've never been big on eating a… Continue reading Blueberry Biscuit Bake

The easier, the better. These cookies are about as intense as I'll go. I kept seeing people posting… Continue reading Christmas Neapolitan Cookies
Candy Cane Thumbprint Cookies
With all of the holiday baking going on, sometimes you just need to take some shortcuts. I'm eternally thankful to my husband for getting me a stand mixer a few years ago. I don't think my wrists could take creaming butter and sugar together for four different batches of cookies. Another shortcut: parchment paper. I… Continue reading Candy Cane Thumbprint Cookies
