I love my old favorite chocolate chip banana nut muffins, but I was in the mood for something different. I happened to grab a bag of coconut in the store today (I’m planning try an un-granola bar with coconut [sadly, oats bother me now too]), so I figured, how can banana and coconut be bad?

Grilled Summer Peaches
Grilled fruit is amazing. The smoky heat brings out the wonderful flavors while caramelizing the natural sugars for an added layer of sweetness. This was the first time I had ever used peaches. I’ve grilled pineapple which is also pretty amazing, but sadly you can add that to my seemingly endless list of food allergies….
Easy & Delicious Baked Apples
[This isn't exactly my recipe, but since I have participated in the buying of ingredients and it was baked in my oven, I figure it counts :)] AK first made these divine baked apples for me a few months ago (it’s his mom’s recipe, thanks JW!), and it’s a great alternative dessert if you don’t…
Sweet Potato Muffins
Annoyingly, grocery stores seem to think that people don’t use canned pumpkin year-round since I haven’t been able to find it in any stores near me. Thus, I decided to make sweet potato muffins instead! I used fresh sweet potatoes that I boiled and then pureed, but if you don’t have time, you can use…
Tomato Basil Scramble
I spend the first half of Passover with my sister and her family in Dallas. Her in-laws have a sheep farm where they also raise chickens, and we took a trip up there to visit. And brought back some beautiful eggs my nephews collected that morning! If you’ve never had a farm-fresh egg, I highly…
No-Sugar-Added Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Muffins
A few nights ago I came home from a really long day at work but still wanted to cook or bake. I made onion smothered chicken and a batch of my ever favorite chocolate chip banana nut muffins. The chicken was fantastic. The muffins were a bit of a crapshoot. This is a testament to how…
Dinner Party Side Dish: Sriracha-Spiked Corn Muffins
I like corn bread, but it frequently suffers from being dry and crumbly. I got the idea a while back to make corn bread with creamed corn to give the corn flavor but keep it nice and moist, and it was a total score! The corn chunks also added a nice texture. Corn bread does…
An Adventure in Vegan Baking: Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
I’ve been thinking for a while I’d like to try vegan baking (which mostly means no eggs). Last week when I saw a recipe from my Twitter friend, the Lazy GF Chef, that looked delicious and happened to be vegan, I decided to try it :) I made a few adaptations: My cocoa looked yucky…

Recipe Remix: Zesty Banana Nut Muffins
I had an abundance of brown bananas desperately calling to me last night (thanks EZRJ :)), but halfway through my batter mixing process I realized I was out of chocolate chips! Banana nut muffins without the chocolate chips just don’t do it for me, so I had to quickly think of another way to jazz…
