You are going to fall in love with how delicious and easy this chocolate chunk banana bread is! Only one bowl to wash. No special tools required. And a loaf of moist and sweet banana bread studded with chocolate chunks in around one hour! There are probably a million banana bread recipes on the internet, because let’s face it, we all buy bananas with good intentions and then let them sit just a little too long. (Or maybe you buy…

Tea lovers will delight in these Earl Grey Scones. Light and flaky scones are delicately flavored with Earl Grey tea for a tea time treat you can’t resist. You might not know this, but I am a tea fanatic. At any given time I have probably about 30 varieties of tea in my cupboard. I drink it hot. I drink it cold. Most days I have at least 3 cups/glasses of tea. I’ve been wanting to make a recipe with…

Orange spiced monkey bread is the perfect ooey gooey citrusy sweet morning treat! Soft and fluffy biscuit pieces are rolled in orange zest, cinnamon, ground cloves and sugar before being doused in a homemade orange syrup and baked into a golden brown syrupy pull-apart treat!  Growing up my Grandmother always made us cups of orange spiced tea in the winter when we came in from playing outside. There’s just something about the combination of oranges, cinnamon, and cloves that is…

Pumpkin Muffins with Chocolate Chips are an easy treat perfect for anytime of the day! These quick chocolate chip muffins are at the top my list for family friendly fall recipes and are a great introduction for young bakers. If I had to describe these muffins in two words, those words would not be pumpkin or chocolate, it would be total indulgence. These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are everything we love about fall. Moist, rich, and spiced pumpkin muffins liberally…

These tender and sweet cinnamon raisin biscuits full of plump raisins and topped with a creamy vanilla glaze taste just like those famous fast food biscuits you remember. You know what I used to love when I was a kid? Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits from Hardee’s. My grandma would buy them for us.  I had the California Raisins toys and even bed sheets. Yes, my 80’s childhood is definitely showing. And looking back, how weird is it that they made cartoon…

Light and fluffy banana pancakes have the taste of banana bread baked inside to make an easy breakfast treat your whole family will love. Oy, I’ve been stuck in flood central. In fact, my city has had the worst floods this year since 1993. My town is basically an island right now, with all the major highways to and from the city shut down. Luckily we haven’t had any flooding at my house, but it’s still caused issues that have…

Malibu Muffins are full of pineapple, coconut, maraschino cherries, and a hint of rum flavor for a breakfast treat that packs the flavor of summer days sitting beach side. It might seem wrong to make breakfast with the flavors of a cocktail, but one bite of these Malibu muffins and I think you’ll change your mind. These fun muffins are loaded with pineapple, coconut, maraschino cherries, and hints of rum, just like a Malibu Sunset cocktail, hence the name Malibu…

Raspberry coffee cake has tender vanilla cake surrounding juicy fresh raspberries and is topped with a bright lemon glaze. No mixer required and ready in about 45 minutes. I know I just made Raspberry White Chocolate Shortbread Bars not that long ago, but raspberries were on sale the other day and I just couldn’t pass them up. $1.50/pkg is crazy cheap for around here. My kids love them. (They were really mad to hear that I gave away all of…

 Creamy eggs, tender asparagus, ham, potatoes and cheese make a hearty breakfast dish that comes together in less than 30 minutes. This ham, asparagus, and potato frittata might sound fancy, but really I just had some odds and ends in my fridge that needed used up! And that, my friends, is the beauty of the frittata. You can have a few odds and ends and actually come up with something delicious that will feed your whole family.  Sidenote: We’ll call…

Banoffee Scones have a tender banana scone base with chocolate and toffee bits added for a flavor combination you’ll love. These aren’t the prettiest scone in the book, but they rank high for how easy they are to make and how great they taste.  I adore baking scones. I also adore lazy shortcut recipes that use pantry staples and/or mixes. Do you love those too? If so you need to check out my top recipe on AHB. Today’s banoffee scones…
