Have you ever had a black bottom muffin/cupcake? It’s basically a chocolate cake base with a cream cheese cheesecake-like topping and it is definitely a decadent treat. These have some redeeming nutritional value since they have three bananas and we used low-fat cream cheese, but do not be fooled- even though these are acceptable for…

Our Favorite Pizza Crust
As you can tell from our blog, our pizza stone gets quite a workout. We use it at least every week or so because everyone loves pizza and it’s easy. We like to make fun topping combinations frequently, but no matter how great the toppings are, you need a great crust to start with. We…
Grapefruit Olive Oil Pound Cake
One of our aunts makes an olive oil cake that is truly excellent. She’s made a rosemary lemon cake and a fennel cake with a berry compote on top. Each time she’s made it, Leah and I have told ourselves to find a good recipe and make one on our own! Because an olive oil…
Pepper Jack & Cheddar Bean Dip
Whenever our mom made chili when we were younger, we would always pick around the kidney beans that she put in it. We did not enjoy refried beans on our tacos, and we certainly did not eat black beans. Over time, we have realized that beans are not nearly as unappetizing as they seem to…
Chocolate Chip Waffles topped with Almond Butter, Honey, and Sliced Bananas

But we generally find it a challenge to pass up trying a “specialty” waffle recipe, so of course we had to try this one. It’s a fun twist on the peanut butter- banana-…
White Pizza with Sage, Prosciutto, and Garlic Oil
After making these sliders the other day, we made a pizza with the leftover prosciutto, sage, and provolone. Yes, I know we have a lot of pizza on our blog, but pizza is probably the most easy recipe to adapt and invent new combinations, and of course it is delicious! We started this pizza with…
Cranberry and Turkey Sliders topped with Sage and Prosciutto
We are sadly back in school this week after a beautiful two full weeks off. Our school has several buildings and so we have to walk outside when switching classes, which should be awfully fun Tuesday morning when the temperature is to be 1° and the real feel is to be -20°. I know it’s…
Oatmeal Snack Cake
Despite our lack of posting over the past couple of weeks, we have done a good amount of baking over Christmas. We’ve been making some repeat recipes (such as chocolate chip cookies and brownies) but a few new recipes as well, including pecan crescent cookies and this oatmeal snack cake. This cake is pretty wonderful….
