Jalapeno Apple Pie

1

Not your grandmothers apple pie. Laced with traditional cinnamon and sugar and punctuated by spicy hot jalapeno, this is all-American apple pie with a KICK! … Continue reading →

Creamy Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

2

Ice cream has always been a personal weakness.  And then I married a man with the same weakness.  Great.  In fact, his goes back at least a couple of generations.  I think there's a "compulsive ice cream eater" gene is the Killebrew line.  Fortunately for my husband and I, … Continue reading →

Cranberry (or Cherry) Almond Streusel Cake

8

Cranberries, another highly nutritious "superfruit", are nestled in this moist butter and sour cream-based streusel cake along with ground almonds and a hint of orange.  This cake was no sooner placed on the cake platter than it was stampeded by the clatter of eager forks … Continue reading →

Apple Butter Cinnamon Rolls

Yeah, and it only gets better with cream cheese frosting!  Cinnamon roll meets rich, caramelized apple butter, studded with fresh apples, and baked to perfection.  Spread with cream cheese or caramel topping and enjoy! I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like … Continue reading →

Classic Lemon Meringue Pie

14

Lemon custards, puddings and pies have been made and enjoyed since the Middle Ages. Meringue came on board some time during the 1600's and then, in the 1800's, Swiss baker Alexander Frehse came up with the brilliant idea of combining the two - lemon and meringue - to make … Continue reading →

Lemon Coconut Muffins

20

I love pretty much any baked goods with lemon.  Can't think of an exception.  Lemon has a way of bringing carbs to life, which is probably why lemon zest is a central component to German and European baking at large.  That and butter.  Must have butter.  But these muffins … Continue reading →

Rhubarb Buttermilk Streusel Cake

26

Rhubarb is easy to grow and spreads rapidly, yielding a generous harvest.  That said, we've attempted on at least a couple of occasions to grow rhubarb, but without success.  It's never been able to survive the antics of the family dog!  Fortunately, I was able to reap some … Continue reading →

Bananas Foster Popovers

17

Thank you to Pollinate Media Group and Huggies for sponsoring this post. Sponsored post A few months ago when I was trying to think of ideas to use up a large batch of fresh strawberries, the idea of using popovers in place of traditional shortcake came to mind. … Continue reading →

Orange Chocolate Hazelnut Bread

23

Does that hazelnut oil in the picture look familiar to you?  That's right!  You saw it in my Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies where I lavishly praised its name.  Hazelnut oil is simply too good to let sit unused in the refrigerator, so I wanted to put it to use.  And since I love … Continue reading →

Better Than Otis Almond Poppy Seed Muffins

68

  I know the title sounds terribly bold and audacious.  I mean, let's face it - Otis Spunkmeyer makes some pretty dang good tasting muffins.  And his Almond Poppy Seed muffins are no exception.  But mine rival his for two reasons:  1)  The list of ingredients in my … Continue reading →

Caramel Banana Upside Down Bread

196

I couldn't take it anymore.  After two carb-free days to lose the 2 pounds I had gained after an indulgent week, I had to have CARBS.  A few days ago I was back down to my desired weight and I approached the day with a smile on my face.  An almost intoxicated giddiness set … Continue reading →

Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies

17

I purchased some marvelous hazelnut oil from an international grocery store in Seattle a week ago. I finally opened it and inhaled...deeply.  The aroma, oh my, the aroma!  I bought it with the intention of using it as a finishing oil, primarily for salads and vegetables. … Continue reading →

Key Lime Pie

Quick to make, easy to assemble, and visually appealing.  A lovely, original alternative to traditional strawberry shortcake.  You can substitute any berry of your choice. The idea for these came on whim as I was making popovers to go with a stew.  While handling and … Continue reading →

French Almond Cake with Green Tea Honey Glaze

37

Oh.  My.  Golly.  Goodness. Don't let the simple appearance of this cake fool you - there's nothing simple about the flavor.   Almonds, vanilla, green tea and honey combine to make this a truly remarkable cake.  Light and airy, layers of flavor, and the perfect touch of … Continue reading →

Killer Peanut Butter Cake

333

Two things:  1)  I need more food props, and 2) to quote my husband, "Every time you use the white table cloth and that plant it looks like something out of a 1970's cookbook."  (Thanks, Todd.  Love you, too.) Combine points one and two:  No more 70's food pics.  Need. … Continue reading →

Mega Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies

71

We all need more wheat germ, oat bran, flax seeds, and coconut oil in our lives.  What you would call peanut butter cookies that incorporated all of these?  Yes, I can well imagine some very unflattering names one could come up with based on this description.  But you won't … Continue reading →

Pink Grapefruit Buttermilk Muffins

It's grapefruit season!  Have you noticed the heaping mountains of them in the produce sections of the grocery stores?  Now is the time to buy those luscious pink grapefruits because this time of year they're at their cheapest.  At 3 pink grapefruits for $1 we've been … Continue reading →

White Chocolate Cherry Macadamia Nut Cookies

45

The craving has hit.  Just looking at the pictures.  And I haven't even made it past the third sentence yet.  Ohhh, I'm in trouble.  Let me step away from the computer just long enough to get a grip on myself... *sigh* Okay, I'm back and ready to keep typing now.  … Continue reading →

Chocolate Deception Cake

15

As you hand your child something healthy to eat, they ask "What is thiiiiiis??"  "Honey, it's good, it's really, really yummy," you say as reassuringly as you can.  Your child takes a long, scrutinizing look at it, makes a face and holds it out to you with an emphatic, "I … Continue reading →

Sinfully Rich Brownies

2

A cold, drizzly, wintery day called for making the ultimate comfort treat: Sinfully Rich Brownies. Lots of butter and lots of chocolate.  Ahhh, does life get any better than this?  One bite and I was HOOKED!  Did I already say sinfully rich?? Like biting into some creamy … Continue reading →
