I love me any kind of baked good, especially on the weekend… and especially for breakfast.

As I was thinking about Mother’s Day and all the recipes my family and I have made in celebration of my mom over the years, I realized something: We always made dessert. And our attempts at baking only worked about half of the time, even though our hearts were in the right place.

While I’m sure we made her breakfast, too, I have no recollection of this. At. All.

So today? Today, I’m talkin’ Mother’s Day breakfast and a pretty darn simple baked good that you can whip up in no time to celebrate your mama.

It’s hoooooooooot.

Like, slap-in-the-face as soon as you walk out the door humid heat.

Typical for Florida, really, but extremely unwelcome. It’s only May! This doesn’t bode well for the actual summer season, I imagine.

I suppose it’s a good thing I received an ice cream attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer last year! I can see it getting put to use over the next few months. Ugh, few, what am I talking about. It won’t cool off until October!

Might as well get started now. How about a twist on a famous German cake in this cold. refreshing, and liquored up Black Forest Ice Cream? [Read more…]

Peanut Butter Banana Marble Muffins

There seems to be a theme around here when it comes to my posts.

A vast majority of the treats I share with you all feature the same five superstar ingredients: bananas, strawberries, peanut butter, chocolate, and hazelnut spread.

Am I ashamed of it? Never. You like what you like, right?

Maybe one of these days, I’ll break away and share something with crazy ingredients. Like beets. Or oysters. Or blue cheese.

(That last one is not likely, for the record.)

For now, how about we just dive right in and take a bite of these yummy Peanut Butter Banana Marble Muffins, my newest breakfast addiction! [Read more…]

It’s officially the springtime!

The spring always makes me think of strawberries, even though I could happily enjoy strawberries year-round. (And I kind of did during the final portion of pregnancy… they were just SO good with everything!)

You know what else I think about during the springtime?

Lemonade.
