Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread

February 16, 2010

This recipe comes to you courtesy of Musings of a Housewife and assumes that you are using a Kitchen Aid Mixer (which I believe that every person in the world should own…even those who don’t have electricity!

Slice of Heaven Banana Bread

January 8, 2010

This recipe is a tweak of the Heavenly Banana Bread from MomAdvice.com. I didn’t intend to tweak her recipe, but I had the bananas all mashed and then realized that I was out of brown sugar for the first time in my adult life and needed to improvise. I’m usually not a fan of banana [...]

Banana Pancakes

January 6, 2010

Need another recipe to use up those bananas that are sitting on your counter and starting to look funky? In my house, nobody will eat a banana unless it is a beautiful golden yellow without a speck of brown on the peel…and my kids won’t eat banana bread, but they WILL eat these!
I found this [...]

Carrot Muffins

December 31, 2009

On occasion, I whine complain moan mention that I just can’t get my children to eat vegetables (although that is changing soon, even if it kills me). I was hiding veggies in food even before “Deceptively Delicious” came out!
So I was thrilled when I saw my children practically inhaling some carrot muffins/cupcakes at a recent [...]
