Banana cake is one of my all time favorite kind of cake. To me its one of those cakes that has fruit so it seems like it is healthy and has the rich sweet taste from the cooked bananas that makes banana bread so good, but in cake form. The banana walnut cake comes out super moist and fluffy, great balance of sweet and richness and is topped with a great cream cheese frosting that isn't over sweet. Banana cake tastes even better after it has been in the refrigerator and is cold on a hot summer day like today. Check out the recipe below in post.

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Protein Muffins are the perfect snack or breakfast for the person on the go.

The protein powder helps give you energy to the start of your morning as breakfast or get through the mid day slump as a snack or post workout treat. The all-purpose flour can be substituted for whole wheat flour for the people who are looking for more whole grains in their diet. Check out the recipe below in the post.

Doughnuts and muffins to me is the breakfast choice you have when you  are looking for something extremely easy and fast to eat on a busy morning. Both are great in there own way, but doughnuts check so many more boxes since they are sugared filled and greasy from being fried. These chocolate muffin tin doughnuts have great characteristics of both, but the texture and richness you get in  doughnut, but the ease of muffins when making them at home. With the baking process you don't have to worry about having oil at the right temperature and flipping them over mid way. Just scoop the batter in the muffin tins and let them cook hassle free for 20 minutes.

The classic spring  dessert is the classic carrot cake. Most recipes for carrot cakes come out dry or so moist they just fall apart so why not just make it easy and make them into small cookies that have the flavor. These carrot cake cookies have the same flavor, are moist and topped with a generous portion of light and fluffy cream cheese frosting. These are great to make with kids with the ease of the preparation and the fun of decoration them in spring theme or just the classic carrot shape that is the norm of carrot cake.

​It seems like lately that you see people using essential oils to help make their houses smell better and other health benefits that can come along with them. I bring this point for this exact recipe, because with this recipe you are cooking my favorite oil, BUTTER!!! I mean a lot of butter goes into these brownies and then stirring in chocolate on top of more chocolate into it your house becomes pretty good smelling I can so myself. These brownies do have a lot of butter, but these brownies do have very little flour and the texture is kinda like a chocolate souffle or chocolate torte and most of the structure and binding is from the eggs and the condense milk that veins through the brownies makes them super moist for days. Overall these brownies are awesome tasting and smell even better. Check out the recipe below.

While I was on a vacation to Washington DC, I had an amazing chocolate pecan pie that has stuck with me for the past week. the richness and sweetness of the pie was fantastic.

As we are in the holiday season, deserts are a big part of the season. Poach pear tarts are quite simple to make and is a real wow factor with the colors of the red wine leaching into the light color of the pears and the whole how would be filled with a great smell from the cinnamon and orange. The Light and flaky tart with the rich and creamy mascarpone cheese topped with the soft, tender poached pears do make a great tasting tart that will please any group.

Cranberries tend to be a great staple for the fall season especially around thanksgiving. The great tart flavor and the vibrate red color makes it very appealing to the eyes. This Cranberry Streusel Cake is a great addition to your thanksgiving table for a dessert option, it even makes a great breakfast cake option too. It has a great combination of sweet and tart from the cranberries and orange in the cake.

The first thing is you make the base cake, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and soda and salt. Cut in the butter to the flour mixture until a course meal like texture. Using a hand held mixer on low speed is an easy easy of doing this, you can also use a pastry blender or two knives.

One of my favorite  flavors is lemon, in my mind lemon can go with pretty much anything and can be used even to replace salt in recipes too. This easy lemon pudding cake offer a soft moist lemon cake onto of a rich lemon custard on the bottom. I am not a huge dessert fan to be honest, but i can eat one of these in mere minutes!!

Start off by preheating the oven to 350F and heat some water in a sauce pan or tea kettle until it is simmering and hot. Grease 6-6ounce ramekins with oil spray and set aside.

Combine the sugar and flour together and set aside. In a separate bowl whisk the egg yolks and the softened butter until combine. Add the milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract.

Fill each of the ramekins ¾ the way full and place each ramekin in a baking pan filled with water half way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and puffy on top. Remove from the water bath and let cool for 20minutes.
