There was a coffee shop in Toledo that had these lemon blueberry scones that I often day dream about when I am reaching for my afternoon coffee and craving a bit of sugar = the ultimate cure for the mid-day slump that would be better cured with a cat nap…but since curling up in a fetal position underContinue reading “Cranberry Orange Scones with Orange Glaze”

peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread
AHHH!!!! I have done gone and did it again. ok, ok, ok…the improper English and the horrid grammar is pretty par for me and my blog. Or is it my blog and I? I don’t know. I have never known. No matter the amount of teaching done by countless English teachers in my educationContinue reading “peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread”
Brown Butter Peach Raspberry Bars
It is September (oy!) and I have already pumped out a few pumpkin desserts. It doesn’t seem right. A pumpkin freakazoid, I am not. I am not one of those chicks just waiting for Starbucks to roll out their limited edition Pumpkin Spice latte (it is like Disney releasing Beauty and the Beast or TheContinue reading “Brown Butter Peach Raspberry Bars”
Yogurt Cake w/ Peach Blueberry Compote
Yo! I have a cake for you today. And if you bake this cake…you will have cake tomorrow. It goes along the lines of the proverb … give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish… Proverbs don’t just pop into everyone’s brains randomly?Continue reading “Yogurt Cake w/ Peach Blueberry Compote”
Cherry Chocolate Banana Bread
I don’t like banana things. I like bananas…I take that back, I love actual, real life, peel and eat, yellow … and let’s be clear on the yellow…darkish yellow, not the new yellow that leads one to believe it was green just moments ago… they must be, ya know, perfectly ripe bananas. I just detestContinue reading “Cherry Chocolate Banana Bread”
Strawberry Lime Bundt Cake
My hands are tan. The tops at least…the palms are pinkish/orange (my carrot intake might be a touch out of control…again). They don’t look like my hands. Honestly, I think they look dirty…I am just so darn used to them being pale. My mind is weird. I can see the million tiny crevices and lines much easierContinue reading “Strawberry Lime Bundt Cake”
They say it’s your birthday / It’s my birthday too, yeah
30 years. 3 decades. 1,565.32 weeks. Even more days, hours, minutes, and seconds. 30 years of heart beats and breaths. 30 years where smiles have outnumbered frowns. Laughter has been abundant. Tears have been rare. Cities have been explored and oceans have been swam. Miles have been walked, ran, and flown. Friendships forged and lovesContinue reading “They say it’s your birthday / It’s my birthday too, yeah”
Lemon Tart
I have taken a bit of a break. Unexpected and unintentional…. Nights where I would normally plop down and flip on the TV to something mundane and focus most of my attention on editing photos – just a bit of a tweak…up-ing the contrast or brightness – not a whole lot, because in all honesty,Continue reading “Lemon Tart”
Raspberry Jam Bars
I love Ina Garten. This post might as well be called ‘ an ode to Ina”. I adore everything about her….even her button down shirts – that are tailored made just for her (why do I know this?) – with the popped collar – which makes me think of spring break and the cruiseContinue reading “Raspberry Jam Bars”
Cranberry Orange Walnut Bread
Wowza… What a whirlwind of a few days. Am I right? Holidays always leave me feeling like I just ran 20 million 100m sprints and all I can do is stand with my hands on my knees gasping for breath…when I know that if I stand with my hands behind my head, that air willContinue reading “Cranberry Orange Walnut Bread”
