Lemon Poppyseed Bundt Cake

When we moved to this house, one of the (many) selling points was the backyard with so much gardening and planting potential.  There were fairly new citrus trees which my mom helped me prune and care for (because there were several diseased parts on them) and now that it’s winter they are bearing so much fruit!  We have lemons galore! [Side note: we were told there were two lemon trees and one lime tree, but I texted a photo to my mom last month to ask what was wrong with the lime tree (they were turning… Read more >

Pounds of zucchini

Zucchini bender! My friend got something like 4 million pounds of zucchini last week and has been unloading them on me, much to my delight. I have already baked two loaves and two batches of muffins.  And I still have 6 left!  I’m so excited because P loves them just as much as I do so we are flying through them. Within hours of these being out of the oven half were already gone.  Sheesh! Can’t get a better breakfast than this!  Zucchini for the win. Here’s the rough recipe I used (didn’t measure things… Read more >

Molasses as a sweetener

If you want to make 1 1/2 loaves of banana bread (one large, one small) here’s the recipe.  Alternatively, you could make one loaf and some muffins.  Not sure how the cooking time would vary for those but I’m just throwing it out there because I made this recipe and it had too much for one loaf but was still perfect and definitely worth sharing. Rather than applesauce as a sweetener, I used molasses.  It’s subtly sweet but the body treats it way different than sugar.  Almost everything I bake I make suitable for pacman and while… Read more >

Allergy friendly yellow cake

I know (I think?) what you’re thinking.  Yellow cake?  What’s the point?  Chocolate is where it’s AT!  I agree with you, but every once in a while you need some quality yellow cake in your life.  Like on the 4th of July. Because it just feels right.  Is #merica just so 2013? Since I wanted P to be able to eat some, I made it allergen friendly.  As in, no wheat, gluten, dairy, nuts, or soy.  The batter does contain eggs and I’m not sure if it would turn out without them but if anyone wants… Read more >

Weekend activities and my first recipe with bacon

This past weekend was all kinds of awesome.  We hung out with new friends who I’m certain will become old friends.  P got a taste of his first slip ‘n slide.  I ate a vegan ice cream sandwich that blew my mind.  And we got to enjoy some quality family time before Kyle went away for work.  Summer is his busy season so the sporadic posting often has to do with me being a solo parent while he’s off at random solar sites. That’s a separate mexican layered bean dip for the lactose free folks… Read more >
