Vegan Mango Banana Bread

July 13, 2011

Was it you who spent last Friday night with a bottle of white wine and a truly GIANT bowl of salty, sweet popcorn. Did you find yourself 4 hours into a Say Yes to the Dress marathon?  Wait… did you cry a little bit? Was it you who glanced at the random pair of scissors [...]

Brown Butter Banana Strawberry Bread

June 2, 2011

Can I tell you something about me?  This has exactly nothing to do with bananas or butter or bread.  Feel free to roll your eyes and skip ahead, if necessary. I used to be a worrier.  Like… a professional worrier.  I would worry like it was my job to worry, like I was getting paid [...]

Butterscotch Pudding with Caramelized Bananas and Cream

March 18, 2011

Fancy smelling dish soap and a fresh sponge are a luxury. Lotion next to the kitchen sink is a luxury. Fresh dish towels are a necessity. Not-so-fancy olive oil is a necessity . Fancy olive oil is a luxury. Homemade pudding is a luxury… sometimes a necessity… depends on the day. A full bottle of [...]

Kale Spinach and Pear Smoothie

January 3, 2011

If you’re lucky enough to romance someone with breakfast in bed…. do not bring kale.  Bring bacon.  Bacon is better in bed.  Kale is stupid in bed.  Kale is better if you’re a single lady that wants a smoothie. How is that for a pro tip?

Banana Bourbon Bread Pudding

July 21, 2010

Imagine how glorious your day would be if you took plain old, super soft white bread and baked it with milk and sugar, bananas and bourbon. Seriously… what are you doing right now?  Unless you’re shoe shopping or naked with someone you like… I think you should stop what you’re doing and at least think [...]

Strawberry Banana Cream Pie

April 10, 2010

It’s Spring!  I know because I’ve busted out my hippie print wrap skirt and I’ve got the last of the Cadbury Cream Eggs in my mouth at this very moment.  Thank goodness I’ve reached the end of the Easter candy… my thighs are angry with me… or angry with my tight fitting jeans… I can’t [...]

Mini Chocolate Dipped Bananas

July 1, 2009

Lovely friends… hi.  Dear readers… hello. Let’s talk about keeping it classy.  Hot dang! I try hard to keep it classy.  Holy smokes… do I ever fail sometimes. Let’s discuss classy versus not classy, and what the heck chocolate dipped bananas have to do with anything. Classy:  a tastefully short summer sundress.  Not class:  booty [...]

The One Year Rewind

June 29, 2009

Exactly one year ago I was rockin’ out with a mug of this stuff.  I was also saying things like “totally tubular!”  and “radical!”, wearing acid wash jeans, and hair-spraying my bangs into a tall wave across my forehead.  Ooooh 2008. Banana Pudding Ice Cream. Rad, right?

Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie

February 18, 2009

Pie takes time.  Pie requires attentions.  Pie demands love and care.  Pie, even for an everyday baker like me, is a lost art. I needed a good, old fashioned, pie contest to help me slow down, take a breath, and dream up the most delicious pie I could. The most delicious thing I could dream [...]

Banana Cranberry Bread

November 10, 2008

It should come as no surprise that I relate to the world through food. Sure, I’m fairly well adjusted, I can carry on a warm conversation and function in life, but in the secret world that is my brain, I’m always trying to understand the world around me by relating it to something I’ve eaten. [...]

Banana Pudding Ice Cream

June 29, 2008

I love comfort.  Ok.. I know that’s a stupid thing to say.  Who doesn’t like comfort?  That’s like saying that kittens are cute.  Not so controversial right? Well, this Banana Pudding Ice Cream is an exploration in comfort.  I absolutely love banana pudding.  It not just the pudding, it’s the fresh whipped cream and vanilla [...]

Whole Wheat Banana Walnut Pancakes with Vanilla-Brown Sugar Syrup

April 26, 2008

I love waking up about half an hour early on Wednesdays to make pancakes for breakfast.  They really take very little time to throw together, and they make a world of difference to my day.  I can’t save my pancakes only for special weekend breakfasts.  Sometimes (every Wednesday) I need that weekend indulgence before I [...]

Fact: the world is better with bananas

January 16, 2008

Say you’re a 17 year old girl, and it’s your birthday.  If you can’t have a new car, a cute new boyfriend, or a hassle free day from your parents, what would be next on your list?  Probably, Banana Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cupcakes. No?  You’d want one of those super skinny Macbook Airs?  Well let’s [...]
