{TWD} Cocoa Nana Bread

Do you enjoy dessert for breakfast? I always enjoy the luxury of enjoying a true sweet treat with my morning coffee. You know how banana bread can be the perfect delight morning noon and night? It is like that great balance between something sweet and (sort of) healthy.

But now I am going to one-up you. [...]

Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Pecan Streusel

I am sorry. I owe you an enormous apology. I kept something from you that I really truly meant to share. I had these great intentions and somehow the relaxing days, the new bags of coffee with flavored creamer, guests and parties made me practically lose my mind. So much so that I forgot about [...]

TWD Rewind: Orange Berry Muffins

Most of the TWD bakers are presenting a delicious looking chocolate cake today. I promise, I bought everything for it. But see, here’s what’s going on. You remember how I packed up my life in Peru and moved it to the US just a couple of weeks ago? Yeah, that’s what’s going on…still.

Things are still [...]

{TWD} Rewind: Apple Cheddar Scones

First off, you may be wondering why I am posting a chosen TWD recipe from some time ago? Things in life are…well…a bit crazy right now. I have wanted to explain why but the words have not yet come to me. Soon, very soon I will share more about life’s craziness and the upcoming changes [...]

Dulce de Mango

Summer fruits are in full force in Peru. The weather is hot, humid but not all that sunny in Lima. Still, it makes you crave bites of sweet, chilled fruits like mangoes all through the day. There are several varieties of mangoes to choose from when you are shopping at the stores. This particular cake [...]

{BBB} Croissants

There are things you dream about making, right? Items on your list that you would never admit you want to make, because it just may push you into the doing, right?

One of those things for me has always been croissants. I am in awe of the swirls of flaky dough. I have known there are [...]

{TWD} Savory Corn & Pepper Muffins

Cornbread has a special place in my heart ever since Marie Callendar’s. I remember how their butter had honey mixed in, their cornbread was like cake and the combination of the two was like dessert for me. Someone got smart and started selling their cornbread in a box mix, although I can not tell a [...]

{TWD} Kugelhopf

Sometimes I can be a little stubborn and I don’t really like other people to tell me what to do. Except when they tell me what to do and even though I didn’t want to do it, I am happy in the end I did. So happy that I do it twice.

That is kind of [...]

{TWD} Pumpkin Muffins

Living some place for some time without some things causes change.

Complete and total change. I was excited to make pumpkin muffins this week, partially because the flavor fits perfectly with fall and partly because I have access to cans of real pumpkin. I was looking forward to the incredible flavor that I remember when eating [...]

Apple Danish Bread

It was not my intention to take the “easy way out” and make the recipe as written. This was one of those times that we had some freedom and it seems that I did not take advantage of it. The month has been a bit busy and life will be even busier until the end [...]
