As some of you may recall (and as many others will likely not be surprised to find out), I’ve posted about banana bread before. In fact, I’ve got a few banana bread items: Vegan Banana Nut Muffins, Dessert Banana Bread, and Banana Pumpkin Bread. What I haven’t done is plain ol’ banana bread. Sure, this

I’ve done stuffed peppers before, long, long ago. It’s been long enough (and enough format changes since) that I figured it was time for a revisit. Stuffed peppers are easy to make, though a bit time-consuming. They’re great if you happen to have leftover rice on hand, as well! Ingredients6 Bell peppers1 tbsp Olive oil

Chili is one of those meals that you can make a thousand different ways and always manage to pull off something new. In this case, I got to talking with a friend at a hockey tournament about game chili, and while this recipe is written for game meats, I’m a basic suburban housewife, so I

My mom has been telling me to make this bundt cake for I-don’t-know-how-long. Initially, I put it off, not because I didn’t want to bake a cake, but because I didn’t want to eat an entire cake. As it turns out, though, bundt cakes freeze super well. So, here’s to a new era of making

I’ve made different frostings in previous recipes, including whipped cream icing to go with my black forest cake and rosewater buttercream for some cupcakes. As far as I can tell, though, I don’t have plain old buttercream anywhere on here. Fortunately, that’s pretty easy to fix. This recipe makes enough for about a dozen cupcakes,

A little often goes a long way, and to balance out the richness, they’re often paired with a cream cheese frosting. It’s a match made in culinary heaven, but if

Valentine’s Day is coming up, and you want the mood for dinner (or the after-dinner special) to be just right. Sure, candles are a classic touch, but maybe you want the fragrances involved to be a bit more potent and a little more varied. Worry not! We’ve got you covered.

Honey mustard is a versatile dipping sauce. It goes great with fries, chicken, and plenty of other comfort foods. The other nice thing about it that sets it apart from other sauces is that it’s an absolute breeze to make. You throw all your ingredients in one bowl, mix them up, and you’re ready to

I’d like to apologize for the lack of proper photos (at least until I get the chance to update this post). Hubby and I were so hungry, it wasn’t until we’d finished dinner, washed the dishes, and I had started writing this that I’d realized I never took a picture of the food. Bearing that

It’s no secret at this point that I love cookies and chocolate. Together, they make some of my favorite treats. With so many cookie options to choose from, classic chocolate chip usually gets pushed to the wayside. Even less commonly seen in my kitchen are the deliciously tempting double chocolate chip cookies that so many
