One of the first things that we tried to cook was a savory puff pancake with mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and cheddar cheese. It was our own creation, and, needless to say, it was pretty bad (and we even served it with ketchup…yuck). However, another recipe that we started making shortly after was this apple…

Cranberry Bread
Hurricane Sandy is finally here, and earned us a four-day weekend! As long as our power stays on, we’re not complaining (although we have it really lucky; some folks who are in the path of the storm more in NJ and NY are losing more than their electricity, which is so sad). What better time…
Pumpkin Muffins with Pecan Streusel Topping
With fall officially here, it is again acceptable to make anything and everything that contains pumpkin. Every year, and not just during fall, sometimes during winter, we make pumpkin bread/muffins. Usually, we use a different recipe each time because while all we have tried are good, none are spectacular. So when we decided to make…
Pumpkin Praline Waffles
Our aunt recently sent us the King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion cookbook. When looking through it, these waffles stood out and we finally got around to making them! And they were not a disappointment. These pumpkin waffles, paired with warm cinnamon maple syrup, butter, and a couple of slices of bacon, are a wonderful breakfast treat!…
Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes with Blackberry Sauce
After a long week of school, sometimes a relaxing Saturday morning with pancakes is necessary. We’ve been wanting to make these since Joy over at Joy the Baker first posted about them, so they were the perfect thing to make. It doesn’t get any better than these light and fluffy, lemony pancakes with sweet-tart blackberry…
Caramelized Banana Bread with Browned Butter Glaze
Our very favorite recipe for banana bread comes from the Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook and it is absolutely amazing. However, that recipe calls for six bananas, and we only had three on hand and really wanted to make some good banana bread. So, after browsing through a couple of issues of Cooking Light, we found this…
Buttermilk Crumb Muffins
These muffins are certainly not beauty queens, but after one bite you will understand why we are posting about them. They are personally my (Celine’s) favorite muffin ever, which is saying something since we make tons of muffins (probably at 2-3 flavors a month!). We have occasionally brought them in to school for a homeroom…
Chocolate Swirl Buns
When Annie over at Annie’s Eats posted about these buns two days ago, we knew we had to make them! They are a mini version of chocolate babka, minus the streusel. We worked at a retirement home over the summer, and they often served babka. It was purchased from a frozen food supplier and was…
Raspberry Almond Muffins
Back during the summer, we had a lot of fresh raspberries to be used up. These muffins were a great way to use them! At Thanksgiving, Celine made linzer torte cookies that we loved. This muffin recipe already had cinnamon and raspberries, so we added lemon and almond extract to create a “linzer torte muffin.” …
