Coconut ginger banana bread is not your ordinary banana bread loaf. Made with coconut oil and shredded coconut, this delightful quick bread gets a flavor boost from chopped crystallized ginger. Bake a loaf soon! I've been doing things. Not blogging. Definitely moving. Literally. I thought I didn't have so much stuff (here's looking at you, cabinet full of glassware). I thought the stuff I did have was neatly organized. It turns out that I didn't have my not-so-much-stuff as together as I ...
Both ground and candied ginger flavor these butternut squash drop biscuits that are also made with butternut squash puree, coconut oil, and maple syrup. A nice accompaniment to a cup of tea or a bowl of soup, this recipe makes just a dozen small drop biscuits that are best enjoyed the same day. I’m a firm believer in done being better than perfectly done, but I’m not sure I’ve been taking what I dish out lately. I’ve spent so much time in the kitchen and took so many pictures and then ...
Whip up this pumpkin loaf for a weekend breakfast and then enjoy a few slices throughout the week. A brown sugar-cinnamon swirl throughout the batter and the addition of apple butter gives this simple loaf big fall flavor. When I saved this "pumpkin cinn-a-zag" bread recipe back in who knows when, I thought it was a pull-apart bread. Remember those loaves that were all the rage back in who knows when? 2012 or so judging from my pins. Speaking of pins, can we pause for a moment and ...
You guys, all I can say is, what a bunch of junk. From all outward appearances, I have been just a step shy of silent over the course of the year. Behind the scenes, however, I have been working like a maniac to make this blog a better place. For nearly its entire existence, I have operated in this space with a "create, create, create" mentality without much thought to "create, improve, create better." Now I find myself with some unexpected time on my hands, so I've been making an ...
“Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.” ― Erma Bombeck Ha ha, Erma! Ha ha! Anyone who glances at the recipe below may think these sweet potato rolls also take 18 hours to prepare, but I assure you, they do not. The homemade rolls only take 3 1/2 hours. A football game takes 3 1/2 hours. Coincidence? Not to worry, the majority of the time involved is inactive time while the yeast works ...
I deemed today "clear out the fridge and pantry day." Today's fate started yesterday when I walked to the store just to buy a coffee and breakfast. I was out of cream you see. I thoroughly enjoy coffee, but straight-up black coffee is not my jam. Some might go so far as to claim I like my cream with a dash of coffee rather than the other way around. Forty odd dollars later, I returned to my home with a coffee, breakfast, a flat of strawberries, and four plants. At least the plants - oregano, ...
