A delicious banana cake for any occasion, though it featured at a third birthday party at my house :-). 
Back when Jennifer ate gluten (pre-diagnosis), she and Sean concluded that the cornbread I made was the best they’d ever had. And they both like cornbread. Sean, particularly, loves it.
So I was making these gingerbread cookies yesterday with my now 2 1/2 year old, and discovered when we went to frost them that I only had half the powdered dry milk that I needed. What’s a mama to do? Well, I altered the frosting recipe, and ended up with one that is much more buttercream-like, easier to work with, and amazingly tasty. Isn’t it great when life works out like that?
Hey there. No, I haven’t found my notebook, but I worked up natural sugar chocolate chips this week so I have that recipe in a new place :-). I even tested them in my chocolate chip cookies for you (because how can I know if a chocolate chip recipe is any good unless I know how it bakes up?)! Of course, they’re still actually chocolate chunks, but they’re quite tasty regardless of shape.
Sorry everyone, my recipe notebook is missing! I’d post you the new muffin recipe, but…it has a lot of ingredients and I’d like to get it right! Once I find that dratted notebook I promise I’ll post it ASAP. Sorry! Tune in next week for another new recipe from one of us, since, as far as I know, Jennifer’s notes haven’t gone missing.
This is not a fruit salad, oh no. This is an answer to “yet another dinner this week should have a green salad with it. I am TIRED of normal green salad.” My husband thought this was amazingly delicious and horked down like four servings. Even the two year old ate some of it!
This weekend Sean declared that it had been too long since he worked with bread dough and he wanted to make cinnamon raisin bread, and so this recipe was born :D. I crafted the recipe, but he did a lot of the work while I was taking care of other things. It turned out remarkably well, and we like it a lot.
Hello again! Sorry for the unexpected week without a post, but things are oddly crazy around here for having nothing much going on. We have been out and about a lot, though, and one of those little outings was to a farmer’s market. Lacking a veggie garden of my own (currently! Hopefully I can change that by next spring, but we’ll see), I set out to get the stuff for homemade pickles from the market. I succeeded easily, since it is indeed canning season and pickling cucumbers are plentiful.
We went to Pike Place Market yesterday and I was put in mind of the fact that raspberries and peaches share a season. Between that and the fact that we had a friend leaving to go home after a good visit, I thought a tasty dessert was in order, so here you go :-).
