"Millions of peaches, peaches for meMillions of peaches, peaches for free"LOL 🙂 I love peaches, they're delicious and perfect for a sweet treat. I usually enjoy them cut up with some vanilla greek yogurt and sliced almonds but wanted to bake with them. Our local orchard had a peach celebration and I got a great deal on… Continue reading Peach Cake
I am loving all things bananas this pregnancy! I'm usually a fan of bananas but I don't know what it is right now, but I can't get enough of them. I pinned this recipe months ago and finally got around to making it this week. Madeline and I decided while Daddy was getting his haircut… Continue reading Banana Cake
My daughter’s 5th birthday (OMG…how did she get to be 5 already!!?!?!?) was last week and we threw her a friend birthday party at the gym where she has gymnastics lessons. She invited 8 friends from school and had a great time. Her one request about cupcakes were they needed to be pink and that… Continue reading Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting
After a month long hiatus, it's time again for The Secret Recipe Club again. This month I was assigned Miz Helen's Country Cottage. Miz Helen is a southern gal living in Texas and shares her simple way of life. Her style of cooking is different than mine and full of southern influences, things that I'm not… Continue reading The Secret Recipe Club: Cranberry Oat Cake
I love all things cranberry! It's probably one of my favorite things to bake with. I just love the tartness and bite of fresh cranberries. I've made two of these cakes in the last week and I see many more in my future. It's simple and oh, so delicious. The first one I took to… Continue reading Cranberry Upside Down Cake
Here's my next attempt at baking with beer! My coworker was having an Oktoberfest party and I knew the entire party would focus around beer and drinking. I have learned so much about beer by going out to lunch with a group of them on Fridays. It has definitely opened my eyes into the world… Continue reading Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes with Bailey’s Frosting
Peanut butter and banana are another one of my favorite combinations! As I was persuing Pinterest, I saw a pin with banana cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. PERFECT! Especially since I had a bunch of bananas that I needed to use up - you know the ones that ripen too quickly and then are brown… Continue reading Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
This year was the first year I decided to grow carrots. I was a little worried about them since I planted a little early, but to my surprise we were able to harvest a dozen carrots! While they weren't real big, they provided me with the perfect amount for these cupcakes. The cakes are moist… Continue reading Carrot Cake Cupcakes
It's that time again - The Secret Recipe Club!!! I'm having so much with the SRC and being able to try new things. This month, my assigned blog was Veggie Converter 365. Now this was going to be a challenge for me as we're big meat eaters in this family and Kristi's blog is all… Continue reading The Secret Recipe Club: Lemon Ricotta Pound Cake
Once again I found myself with a bunch of very ripe bananas. I hate when they go from green to brown in couple of days. That's what happened with this bunch, but I knew I'd find something to make with them - no more waste in this house! The recipe originally called for cinnamon chips,… Continue reading Banana Chocolate Chip Cake
