Almond Poppy Seed Quick Bread

Almond Poppy Seed Quick Bread

Quick breads are the best. You can throw all the ingredients together in one or two bowls, pour everything into a pan and leave it in the oven for an hour.  There is no annoying whipping of egg whites, chopping of fruit, boiling of sugar or spooning batter into little cups. So easy! And this … Continue reading »

Coconut Banana Bread

Coconut Banana Bread

I’ve been on a quick bread binge lately! I apologize to the quick bread haters out there (do those people exist?), but this is my third bread recipe in a row.  I’ve been feeling a bit lazy when it comes to baking and I just love how easy it is to just whip up a … Continue reading »

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This bread is the bomb.  Pardon my cheesy word choice (I promise I haven’t said that since middle school, maybe), but I’ve seriously never had such rich, chocolate-y zucchini bread in my life.  I tried two recipes: one from Joy of Baking and the other from Taste of Home… this was the winner. It’s quick … Continue reading »

Banana Cranberry Breakfast Bread

Banana Cranberry Breakfast Bread

After all the Christmas treats I thought it was time for a “healthier” snack.  I also needed to get rid of some grossly black bananas and the cranberries that have been sitting in my freezer since October. I’m proud of this recipe. I usually am not able to combine ingredients in a way that produces … Continue reading »

America’s Test Kitchen Banana Bread

America’s Test Kitchen Banana Bread

I saw this on Tastespotting.  They got it from a book that claims this to be the best banana bread recipe out there. Obviously, I had to try it. It ended up being normal banana bread. There is nothing wrong with it at all– it’s perfectly moist, chewy (but still tender), a tad sweet and could … Continue reading »

Banana Crumb Snack Cake

Banana Crumb Snack Cake

I can’t stop baking. My housemate had overripe bananas… so he asked me if I wanted them for baking.  How could I say no?  Food should never be wasted. Instead of the usual loaf bread I wanted to try something a little bit different… this may be my favorite way to use up old bananas yet! … Continue reading »

Zucchini Banana Bread

Zucchini Banana Bread

After all the cupcakes and cookies these past few weeks, I thought it was time for something a little lighter.  I was very happy with this simple bread- it could easily be eaten for breakfast, but it is sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth as a dessert too! You can make this healthier by … Continue reading »

Apple Pie Bread

Apple Pie Bread

This bread was the product of my attempt to use up all of my perishable foods before going to Singapore for the next three weeks!  I modified the original recipe a bit in order to cram the maximum amount of apples into it and omitted the nuts and raisins completely.  The end result was a … Continue reading »

Maple Pecan Streusel Pumpkin Bread

Maple Pecan Streusel Pumpkin Bread

I found this recipe on FoodPornDaily.com, and it looked so great that I actually Google searched the recipe so I could make it for myself.  I love cooking with maple syrup– it has such a unique flavor and makes desserts taste rich and sophisticated.  The good part is, this bread is just as good as … Continue reading »

Kale Bagels with Cashew Cream Cheese

Kale Bagels with Cashew Cream Cheese

This past summer, I borrowed the Skinny Bitch Ultimate Everyday cookbook from the library and spent every day of the next month making recipes from that book.  That book is the sole reason I became interested in vegan cooking.  With any regular cookbook, I have to filter through the pages and ignore some recipes completely. … Continue reading »
