When was the first time you heard of Nutella and tasted it for yourself? For me, it was 1995. My foreign language class was planning a “field trip” to Spain and France for spring break of that year. I was one of the lucky few whose parents allowed me to go. A friend of mine [...]
I have long been eyeing Bangerang Bake Shop’s cupcakes-in-a-jar. They always looked so appealing – a large cupcake filled and frosted with creamy frosting and smooshed into a cute little jar with a ribbon! I made a goal that one of the things I had to try before I left the US was a Bangerang [...]
I just love banana breads and muffins and have a collection of many different recipes for these. Earlier this week I chose to use a recipe from my Taste of Home cookbook, called Special Banana Nut Bread. As the name would imply, it is a recipe for banana bread, but I went out and bought [...]
I hadn’t planned on making this sandwich, but when I was browsing through Nigella Lawson’s newly designed website, I found the recipe for Elvis Presley’s fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. It reminded me that it was always something I wanted to try but hadn’t gotten around to yet.
I’ve had peanut butter and banana together [...]
We recently purchased a popsicle mold and have been drowning in frozen smoothie pops ever since. The following recipe has been my favorite so far, which is adapted from a bag of frozen strawberries.
Personally, I prefer unfrozen smoothies, but my daughter prefers them in frozen form, which is just as well. I’m glad she likes [...]
The first cupcakes I decided to try from February 2009’s issue of Martha Stewart Living were the banana cupcakes with caramel buttercream.
And they are really yummy! The cupcakes: they ended up more muffin-like in texture than I expected; they are soft and moist; they did not rise much while baking; they have an extreme banana [...]
I’ve been in a whoopie pie mood lately. I’ve never made them before though. I chose mini banana whoopie pies for my first time (recipe here).
Now, I didn’t have any sour cream so I substituted with organic vanilla yogurt. I don’t know if this was my problem, but all of my “pies” [...]
I wasn’t planning on baking today, but we had two seriously over-ripe bananas sitting around that I knew would end up not getting eaten. I couldn’t waste them, not when the temptation for banana muffins was too strong!
I searched BakeSpace for a banana muffin recipe and found this one, called Snow Day Muffins (blog post [...]
I love banana bread and had a great recipe, from Betty Crocker, I think, that I could swear by but have lost it somewhere. While on the search for another one I came across this one from Martha Stewart, which was a banana bread made with whole wheat flour and flaxseed (walnuts are also in [...]
In my search for a coffee and banana cupcake, I decided to try the following combination.
Mocha cupcakes from Genius of a Cook: Obviously I did not use the Kahlua frosting, but I can say that these are the best mocha cupcakes. They were so soft, delicate and moist and had just a hint of coffee. [...]
