Is it breakfast? Could I possibly have it for dessert? When the answer is yes to both, then you're on the right path in this life, my friend. I've wanted to make banana bread for the longest time, but people keep eating my damn bananas before they get to that perfectly ripe stage that I … Continue reading Double Chocolate Banana Bread
I've hit a snag in my holiday baking (or holibaking as it shall henceforth be known) plans: my family doesn't eat desserts as fast as I want to make them! Arrrrrgggghhhhh. This is tough guys, like, it's a serious problem. To me. I've got all this pent up energy and a basket of browning bananas … Continue reading Holibaking & Hummingbirds
I've been craving pears and oranges lately, just slices of cold fruit on the hot days while the renovation works go on around me. Sometimes I pair them with an ice-cold glass of fresh lemonade or pineapple flavoured water, and my parents would join me on the patio while we discuss interior decor and the … Continue reading Pear & Hummingbird Cake
There has been a particular recipe sitting on my shelf for far too long, and now that I've tried it, I don't quite know what I was so afraid of. I've been terrified of trying Banoffee Pie, or any caramel based recipe, due to the fact that I'm afraid to make caramel.I can't for the … Continue reading Back to Basics Banoffee Pie
Well can't you see that it's just raining? There ain't no need to go outside...

Whether it's with a loved one, … Continue reading Banana Pancakes

With five productive hours left to my Sunday evening (productive hours meaning those before I have to get ready for bed and work...) I decided to whip up a batch of blueberry muffins for breakfast, and also to bring a few with me to the office for my workmates. However, my mum was craving banana … Continue reading Indecisive Muffins
As I was driving home from town earlier today, I came to the scary realization that one of my biggest fears is that I have a brain tumor... but I think it's just bad headaches. And then I end up in hospital where the doctor is nowhere near as good-looking as McDreamy because this is … Continue reading Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
After about a year of no significant physical exertion, I decided to get off my steadily burgeoning behind and take up my friends on their invitation for their Sunday morning activities. The only problem is that we underestimated our early-20's Saturday night abilities to wear ourselves out. I was woken up on Sunday by my … Continue reading Productive Sunday
The Banana Bread/Quick Bread obsession continues with this delightful recipe I found on Joy's blog, a combination of all the good things in the world: BananasStrawberriesButterLove in a pan. Right there. Anyway, I came home from work slightly early-ish that day (which means I came home on time, yay me!) and was hunting for banana … Continue reading Brown Butter Strawberry Banana Bread
