Either I have an obsession with bananas or I don’t use them fast enough before they start turning a speckled color. Probably the later, but it’s a good thing. I’m always looking to use up the over ripe bananas in new and yummy ways. This is another one of those recipes that was in my [...]

I don’t know what it is about the combination of banana and chocolate. It is hands down one of my favorite flavor combinations. I remember last summer when I was going through wicked morning sickness, and couldn’t keep any food down, the only thing I wanted was frozen chocolate covered bananas. It hit the spot [...]

Years ago, I tried to make my first Pudding Cake for my husband on Valentine’s Day. Even though my baking skills were still coming around in the early years of our marriage, the cake was an immediate hit. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make, yet the flavor was amazing. Who doesn’t love [...]

Thumbprints are the perfect cookies to make for Valentine’s Day. They are sweet, colorful and easy to make with your kids. The dough is very similar to my Mexican Wedding Cake Cookies, and similarily don’t contain nuts. Many recipes for thumbprints involve rolling the dough balls in finely chopped nuts, which of course, we can’t [...]

Whoopie Pies are the next hottest food trend for 2010, according to the National Restaurant Association. And with good reason; their pillowy soft and cakey texture aligns perfectly with a sweet and fluffy filling. How can you go wrong?

I [...]

I’m counting down to the final weeks of my fifth pregnancy, and it never ceases to amaze me how awful I feel in the last month. Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond excited and grateful for this healthy pregnancy, and the fact that I get to welcome my fourth son into the family very soon. [...]

A reader last week requested a recipe for Corn Muffins, and a couple of other readers shared their yummy recipes (thank you!). I promised I’d share my Corn Muffin recipe from my book too. I make these muffins every time I serve chili for dinner because I can’t imagine a more perfect match. They are simply [...]

It’s a snowy day here in Chicago, the perfect kind to stay in and do nothing. I figured I would work on some new recipes today, especially since my due is approaching and am not sure of how much recipe work I’ll end up doing postpartum. But quite honestly, I didn’t feel up to working [...]

I made a lot of shortbread cookies last month for the holidays, but this month all I can think about is chocolate. Maybe it has something to do with the fact I am 8 1/2 months pregnant and living off of toast, cereal and every piece of chocolate I can get my hands on! It [...]
