Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
As usual, I had a couple of over-ripe bananas and needed to find something to make to use them up. I don't know why we always end up with 2 or 3 bananas that never get eaten?!? I was thinking about making one of my muffin recipes, but then decided on this recipe for a… Continue reading Double Chocolate Banana Cake
Peach season is winding down and I grabbed one last basket of peaches from the farm stand I visited all summer. This basket ripened all at the same time and I knew we wouldn't be able to eat them before they went bad, so I decided to bake a cake. My coworker mentioned making an… Continue reading Upside Down Peach Cake
My kids have been asking for me to bake a cake and this is one that I'll definitely be making them again. It's not too sweet and is super moist. The only berries I had on hand were blueberries, but I can't wait to make it again when strawberries are in season. I'm thinking it… Continue reading Blueberry Ricotta Cake
I'm a little behind getting my posts up about blueberries. It's been another crazy busy week and I think it might get only worse in a few weeks. In addition to working full-time, my Rodan+Fields business, this blog, my family, I'll be starting to coach cheerleading. I know, I might be crazy, but our family… Continue reading Blueberry Yogurt Cake
Madeline is cheering again this year and each week different parents are asked to bring in a snack and drink. A couple weeks ago it was my turn and it also happened to be on the of coach's birthday, so I thought cupcakes were the perfect treat after the game. Now I usually would have… Continue reading Chocolate Cupcakes
Yes, once again I found myself with over-ripe bananas that I needed to use. I think it happens at least one a month, but no one was complaining this month after I made this cake! It was soooo good. The cake is moist and light, and then the caramelized bananas with the melted butter and… Continue reading Caramelized Banana Upside Down Cake
Last weekend we had my husband family's annual family reunion. I never know what to make but I usually bring a dessert so when I started thinking about something. I searched Pinterest and some of my favorite food blogs and saw Annie Eats Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes. Perfect! I always try to make something that… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes
I love carrot cake but rarely make it; I'm not sure why, but I have the perfect recipe and can't wait to make it again. The cake is super moist and I love the cream cheese frosting. There's just a hint of sourness from the sour cream that brings everything together. I topped the caked… Continue reading Carrot Cake
Rolled cakes were one of those items that I was "scared" to bake. I never had made one before and all the steps seemed so daunting! I finally made one for Thanksgiving and I wish I wouldn't have waited so long! It was so good and I now I know I can conquer a few… Continue reading Pumpkin Roll
Last weekend, we went to our local orchard and picked 15 pounds of apples. You can't beat 99 cents a pound for fresh PA apples. We picked a variety of Granny Smith, Stayman (it's said like our last name) and Fuji....so be on the lookout for new recipes featuring apples in the coming weeks. One… Continue reading Cinnamon-Apple Cake
