Do not confuse this recipe with banana bread. They are not the same. These cupcakes are light and sweet with major banana flavor. Banana bread (delicious too) is much more dense and not nearly the sweet factor of these. I love the vanilla buttercream on these cupcakes because you get the flecks of dark in… Continue reading Banana Cupcakes

Raspberry Pain au Chocolat
Everything sounds better when you say it in French. In English this recipes is just Raspberry Chocolate Croissants. Yeah. I like the French version way more too. Raspberry and chocolate is a divine combination. Wrap puff pastry around it and you've got a guaranteed winner. A little sprinkle of powdered sugar and folks will think… Continue reading Raspberry Pain au Chocolat
Spring Biscotti
The only biscotti cookie I've ever made is my mom's Twice Baked Walnut Cookies. Biscotti are fantastic and since I'm having a little tea/coffee get together tomorrow night, I thought a hard biscuity cookie would be a nice addition to my table. But, I wanted to try something new. I updated a typically bland cookie… Continue reading Spring Biscotti
Classic Tapioca
My dad's absolute favorite dessert is tapioca. I remember once as a kid, my grandma made it for him and put it in a flower-pot. She covered the top with crushed Oreos and added gummy worms too. Why do I remember that so vividly? Probably because of my father's delight when he realized there was… Continue reading Classic Tapioca
Pumpkin Spice Muffin Tops
These are one of my favorite "cookies" to make. First of all, they are warm tasting and soft. The spices make you feel all homey and there's no hard crunch to contend with to break that mood. Secondly, they are practically guilt free since they're made with applesauce and pumpkin. Really, they're like eating a… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Muffin Tops
Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes & Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

All individually packaged up in a convenient wrapper. Does anyone else think unwrapped cupcake holders look like tutus? No? Just me? Anyway. These are my favorite fall cupcakes - and… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes & Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
Homemade Cheese-Its
I couldn't sleep last night so I found myself pursuing baking blogs at two o'clock in the morning. I know, I have a sickness. I can't help it. When I found Smitten Kitchen, I was hooked instantly. As I was browsing her recipes, I found this one for homemade goldfish crackers. She's much healthier than… Continue reading Homemade Cheese-Its
Molasses Cookie Cake Balls
Sometimes I set out to bake something and it just doesn't turn out like I'm expecting. Today I made what were supposed to be frosted molasses cookie bars, but I didn't check the size pan properly and baked them in something too small. So instead of being bars, nice and thin(ish) - it baked up… Continue reading Molasses Cookie Cake Balls
Bismark Doughnut Muffins
To me, you can't get better than a warm, jelly filled Bismark doughnut. I love them. It's a really good thing there is not a doughnut shop on my normal driving route because raspberry Bismarks are one of the foods I cannot resist. Really. Anybody wants to capture me and torture me for information -… Continue reading Bismark Doughnut Muffins
Game Night Treats
I'm so excited for the return of game night with my church small group. We have a great time together with food, laughter, games and just enjoying each others company. I went to some easy comfort food treats tonight. Nothing fancy or new, just good hang out snacks. Since I've posted them both before, I'm… Continue reading Game Night Treats
