Banana Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

Last week I took my first true vacation since starting my (not-so) new job last Fall. I went to LA for a quick visit to see my friends Christine & Daryl (lots more on that soon!) and then was back home in time for a super fun charity event with my co-workers, Games 3 and […]

I feel like a broken record talking about how old my nieces and nephews are getting, but that doesn’t make it any less true! This year my niece Charlotte turned 9, and she chose a Caramel Banana Cake for birthday, which was just an an excellent decision. This is three layers of a hydrated banana cake […]

Espresso Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Deb on Smitten Kitchen has been talking a lot lately about making things just because you want to make them, “Find a recipe that sounds good to you and make it immediately. Don’t put it in the queue; don’t save it on that to-cook-one-day list, just dive in and dig in”. While I embrace that […]

My Favourite Banana Muffins

In the 5 years I’ve been blogging, I can’t even count the number of times I’ve made these muffins. They are the epitome of comfort to me. My Mom made these all the time for us when we were growing up and I make them all the time now. The recipe comes from a cookbook […]

Baking layer cakes is pretty much like therapy for me. I can rush my way through a batch of cookies or make a pan of brownies practically with my eyes closed, but layer cakes demand time, patience and love. We have a few coming up on our Baked Sunday Morning schedule and I can’t wait […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Crunchy Peanut Butter Banana Bread

August 31, 2014 Baked Sunday Mornings

I was really excited for this week’s Baked recipe as the peanut butter consumption in my life has fallen dramatically over the past two months. See, my new cubicle neighbour at work has a severe peanut allergy, so I’ve stopped bringing peanut butter to work, which is really sad for me, but as I don’t […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Banana Tart

August 24, 2014 Baked Sunday Mornings

This is actually a Baked Monday Night instead of a Baked Sunday Morning, but there’s another interesting twist here. See, I kind of cheated. I usually don’t read anyone else’s posts until I’ve written and posted my own, because I don’t want to be influenced by other opinions on whatever we’ve made. But today I […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Banana Whoopie Pies

Banana Whoopie Pies

I think I’ve made every whoopie pie recipe that the Baked boys have included in their previous cookbooks. I made the Red Velvet ones for my sister-in-law back in 2010, the Pumpkin version as part of Thanksgiving dessert in 2011, and the Chocolate Whoopie Pies in 2012. Guess 2013 was a Whoopie Pie free year, but […]

When you see a Baked layer cake on the Baked Sunday Morning schedule, you really have to evaluate your life and decide if you have time to bake it, and can fit it into your schedule. It also helps to find a family event or someone’s birthday on your calendar to give you an excuse […]

Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

It’s so much fun to hang out with other food bloggers: they just get it. These are the people who understand the importance of two new flavours of Oreos. Who hate salad in a bag as much as I do. They know the feeling of making a co-worker’s eyes glaze over after you’ve been talking […]
