I’ve given you the fun, fruity flavors of Pina Colada Banana Bread, but now it’s time to bestow the gift of cinnamon, gooey Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread. There’s something about cinnamon swirl that is so nostalgic for me, and I think it’s because my mom would sometimes buy Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Swirl Bread when I was younger. But let me tell you, this bread is way better than Trader Joe’s. So keep on reading to learn how to make it!
Let’s get creative! Because in this post, I’m not going to be giving you a set recipe. Yes, that is correct – you are in charge of whatever type of bread pudding you want to make. All I will do is give you a guideline for how to build your own personal cup of warm, comforting bread pudding. So let’s get to it!
Quarantine = quick bread baking time. The last post was all about the banana bread. This post is all about zucchini bread. So let’s stay inside, turn on our ovens, shred some zucchinis, and get baking!
Wow. It’s been three years. A lot can happen in three years, and a lot did happen. I graduated high school, went to film school, interned at Foodbeast, and much more. But the important thing is: I’m back and we’re making banana bread!
Blueberry Muffins are literally the best. (Especially those Costco ones, like gimme… Seriously.) But when regular Blueberry Muffins aren’t just gonna cut it, I present to you: Blueberry Swirl Muffins! *applause* Why thank you. So how is a Blueberry Muffin and a Blueberry Swirl Muffin any different? you may ask. Well, basically instead of placing whole blueberries into muffin batter, you reduce the blueberries down into a sticky sauce and swirl it into the batter. Sure, it’s a little more work, but it looks super pretty and it’s super tasty! Wanna know how to make ’em? Keep on reading…
I’M BAA-AACK!!! OMG, guys, I am so, so, so sorry for not posting in like a WHOLE YEAR. (Like what is wrong with me???) There is truly no excuse for me being so inactive, but imma try anyway. You see, when I started this blog two years ago, balancing it with school was super easy, but this past year of school was way more difficult and time consuming than the year before, and I just couldn’t find the time to ever work on my blog (and if I did have time, I honestly didn’t want to work on my blog because that would entail more writing and sitting at a computer typing…) BUT, now that it’s summer, I got some time! So here I am. Me again. Oh, and you may have noticed from the title, I’m “making a comeback.” And this phrase doesn’t just pertain to me; it also refers to Carrot Cake’s comeback. You see, there’s a lot of stigma surrounding carrot cake. Everyone thinks it’s just some gross old people food and don’t forget the basic principal of a carrot cake – vegetables in cake??? Ew, gross. But that’s where you’re wrong my friend…
I’ve had my fair share of coffee cakes. And I am 100% sure that this is the best coffee cake I’ve ever made or ever eaten. So you know this has got to be serious. Just imagine this for a second: an equal ratio of fluffy, moist lemony cake with bursting blueberries, lemony cream cheese filling, and buttery, crunchy, streusel coated with a tart lemon glaze. I mean, it really can’t get much better than that.
So you may be wondering, What does she mean? “The Perfect Combo”? And I would confirm, Yes. The Perfect Combo. You see, strawberries and chocolate are a classic combination and insanely good together. I mean, chocolate covered strawberries are pretty hard to beat. But add that classic flavor combination to another perfect combo, cheesecake and brownies, and you get something out-of-this-world spectacular! So basically, these Strawberry Cheesecake Brownie Cups are the ultimate mash-up of perfect combinations: strawberry/chocolate and cheesecake/brownie! (Really, wants not to love? I know you want to click the “read more” button below…)
Happy 4th of July everyone! (Although it’s not quite July 4th yet… But in order to ensure you have time to make this dip, I can’t just post this on July 4th because then it would be too late to bring this awesome 7-layer dip to the party…) So yes. I know. This dip is really predictable. You’re probably thinking, Wow, so patriotic. She must be very ‘Merican. Well, no. I’m not very ‘Merican, but I do think that it’s great to be a little festive once and awhile. Personally, I think this dip is very cute, and it’s so easy to make! It’s sure to impress, and who doesn’t love a good 7-layer dip?
For a while, Nutella was the star. But Nutella’s time in the spotlight has been diminishing (although I’ll always love you the same, Nutella). We’ve all kown it was coming. Yes. I’m talking about Cookie Butter basically taking Nutella’s ever growing kingdom of fans and converting them to be on Cookie Butter’s side. Cookie Butter, you are evil. But anyway enough with some crazy story of mine, time to make ice cream for you! What could be a better combo than cookie butter and ice cream? I mean, you’ve got an ice cream that is packed with the speculoos cookie flavor, that warm, cinnamony, spicy cookie that everyone loves. And, this recipe only contains 5 ingredients and takes basically no time to whip up (it’s no-machine!).
