These Coconut Streusel Banana Muffins are delicious, the perfect tender crumb, the right hit of sweetness with a touch of crunch. Definitely worth making. And just the right thing for when you’re on the go. I’ve started a new job as an outpatient oncology dietitian, and it’s been the perfect fit. I’m loving the work,Read more
Not quite a cracker, these savory cookies, are so scrumptious. I decided to make these Lemon, Dill, Havarti Savories over the holidays because the Boyfriend’s Sister-in-Law has a salty-tooth, not a sweet-tooth. And I have to say, these were one of my favorite things I baked during the holidays! The lemon and dill add aRead more
Bananas are great to have on hand for a quick snack, but getting the timing right so that they’re at the perfect ripeness can be challenging. Fortunately, overripe bananas are a delight for bakers. Banana bread is a family favorite, but to mix things up I tried these cinnamon chip banana muffins. They’re great forRead more
When Sister went to Stockholm she learned all about “Fika,” which is like tea-time, but with coffee and pastries and every 3 hours (at least that’s how I heard it). In an effort to be more worldly, I think we should adopt this tradition. And since we’re getting fancy, let’s go ahead and make someRead more
It’s finally strawberry season, the very first of picking season at my favorite farm, Homestead Farms. And despite a spring full of rain, the strawberries are fantastic!

I’ve only dreamt about my grandma 3 times since she passed away in 2007. Last night was one of those times. We were at a family reunion/Valentine’s Day party and everyone was dressed in white except Grandma. And she was there to babysit my cousins. I told her that I’d just eaten some of herRead more
As you may have heard, the East Coast got slammed with a blizzard. In anticipation of being snowed in for days, I’m staying with my parents since Boyfriend has to work downtown. Yesterday when I woke up and their was almost 2 feet of snow outside, I decided to make muffins. After about 20 minutes ofRead more
These muffins are fantastic. I doubled the original recipe (because 9 muffins that the original made is way too few), and then as Mom and I helped ourselves to a second, and Dad said he liked them. We decided we needed to make more. So I made another batch, this time tripling the original soRead more
I made these muffins for breakfast on Thanksgiving, and my family devoured the first batch so quickly that I made a second batch. These are tender and toothsome. The cranberries are bright, tart bursts surrounded by just sweet enough crumb. The oats and walnuts keep them chewy and filling. I used chopped black walnuts thatRead more
I don’t usually make muffins because they tend to be a bit indulgent, but aren’t quite indulgent enough to feel like a dessert. Well, these muffins are the perfect solution. I loved these because they’re just the right amount of sweet and are full of good-for-you ingredients. These muffins are perfect for breakfast with theirRead more
