Cocoa Butterscotch Banana Muffins

March 27, 2015 by Chantal Leave a Comment

Cocoa Butterscotch Banana Muffins

A never-ending stream of overripe bananas that make their way to my freezer each week, from leftovers of the large claw of yellow green fruit I buy regularly that doesn’t make it to our lunch boxes.   I love bananas, and I always have some on my kitchen counter, but I always overbuy them, so […]

Ginger Spice Muffins

Ginger Spice Muffins

These started out life as Nigella Lawson’s Christmas Muffins, from her illustrious Nigella Christmas cookbook. All of the wonderful flavours we naturally associate with Christmas are here – clementines, ginger, cranberry. The recipe itself is easy enough to whip up on Christmas morning, and after eating a few with my morning coffee, I’ve decided these […]

Sour Cream Breakfast Pancakes with Caramelized Pineapple Topping

Any Day All-Occasion Snack Cake

Any Day All-Occasion Snack Cake

I’m not going to tap dance around the subject of photography today.  Let’s get straight to the issue, shall we?  This blog post suffers from lack of good photography.  My usual process is to snap pictures while prepping, cooking or baking, and I then snap a few more of the finished dish, after being portioned […]
