Eggnog Muffins with Cranberry Filling

December 23, 2020 by Faith 6 Comments

This recipe for Eggnog Muffins with Cranberry Filling features soft, fluffy eggnog-flavored muffins with a sweet/tart cranberry sauce filling. They’re a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth when you’re in the mood for something festive!

Mike sometimes talks about taking a Christmas vacation to somewhere warm, but I have trouble getting behind that idea. I need cold, preferably snowy weather to feel festive.

Growing up in Buffalo, our Christmases were usually white. Not that it was ever a sure thing (because some years we did end up with a mucky brown Christmas!). But it was definitely more likely to be white there than it is here in the DC area.…

Pumpkin Coffee Cake Recipe

November 12, 2020 by Faith 24 Comments

This Pumpkin Coffee Cake Recipe is moist and perfectly spiced with a thick crumble topping similar to New York crumb cake. Are you a math person? I’m a weird sort of non-math math person. I’m the type of person who can figure out completely convoluted math word problems quickly. But then, I’m sad to say, my basic math skills – like multiplication and division – are pretty lacking. Sigh. I have absolutely nothing to say for myself....

Caramel Apple Cake Recipe

September 11, 2020 by Faith 31 Comments

This moist Caramel Apple Cake Recipe is warmly spiced, rich with caramel, and has a full pound of apples baked into the cake. And it’s finished off with an easy-to-make vanilla cinnamon buttercream! I can be such a party pooper when it comes to surprises. Every year before Mike’s birthday, I spend weeks searching for the perfect gift for him. I buy it in secret and then stash it away. This is all wasted energy. I always, always tell him what it is before his birthday (it’s sort-of a windfall for him, I guess)....

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars

August 21, 2020 by Faith 1 Comment

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars feature the classic favorite flavor combination in a delicious treat that’s perfect for snacking or school lunches. When it comes to keeping packed lunches interesting, the struggle is real. As a kid I remember getting bored with nearly every type of sandwich my mom packed. And I was bored within the first month of school starting!...

This Chocolate Zucchini Cake Recipe is moist and rich with a deep chocolate flavor; you’d never guess it has 3 whole zucchinis! When I was dreaming up this cake I had a decadent chocolate cake in mind. Something really indulgent…sinful, even....

Strawberry Coffee Cake Recipe

July 17, 2020 by Faith 1 Comment

This Strawberry Coffee Cake Recipe features rich and buttery crumb cake with a hint of vanilla aroma and strawberry flavor. And the best part is that it’s an easy-to-make one-bowl recipe! Even though I eat low-carb most of the time, I always enjoy baking. Spending an afternoon in the kitchen watching ingredients like flour, sugar, and eggs cohesively meld into something beautiful and delicious is like magic. Or if you want to realistic, it’s chemistry, lol)!...

Classic Blueberry Muffins Recipe

July 13, 2020 by Faith 10 Comments

This Classic Blueberry Muffins Recipe whips up in 30 minutes and yields soft, tender muffins that are studded with sweet blueberries and faintly scented with lemon for a crowd-pleasing breakfast or snack. It’s funny the things we miss when we’re away from home. When Mike and I were in Kuwait, I was surprised by which sights and smells triggered a memory....

Oatmeal Muffins Recipe

May 4, 2020 by Faith 27 Comments

This Oatmeal Muffins Recipe combines heart-healthy ingredients like oats and olive oil into muffins that are just sweet enough, aromatic with vanilla, and have a tender crumb. I make a ridiculous amount of muffins. Muffins are the perfect thing to whip up when you want to use up a little bit of coconut milk. Or the last 1/4 cup of a few different kinds of nuts or dried fruit. Or if you have an apple or banana that is past its prime, and isn’t good for much else except baking....

Celebrations in general and weddings in particular call for cake. It’s just one of those unwritten laws of the universe. But sometimes just a random Tuesday calls for cupcakes too.
