If I had to choose two songs, as the best songs, for singing in the car, I’d pick: Since You’ve Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson + Screaming Infidelities by Dashboard Confessional. Don’t bother judging me, ok? These are not my two most favorite songs in the whole world, or favorite artists even. But these songs are really good for singing from your heart alone in your car. If had to tell you a few foods I consider…
When you make this banana bread, just consider the oven a banana tanning bed. In a mere 15 minutes they have bronze beach bodies … and on top of all that, the fruit turns into a caramelized dream. I fell in love with roasted bananas back when I made Roasted Banana Cupcakes. So I decided to take my mom’s classic banana bread and roast the bananas. Then I added a bit of cinnamon. The next thing…
I bought the good corn meal this week, and right on the front of the bag was a recipe for my dream pancake. I might’ve been tempted to make these for dinner throughout the week, but I held out until this morning, and I’m going to be honest when I say that I ate these as I made them (I couldn’t resist!) … the ones on the party plate were reserved for Jake.

Don’t bother asking for a bite of my meal. Really, don’t bother. Especially when I’m eating a meal as delicious as this. It’s just not going to happen. I can’t wait to make this again on a freezing cold day. I’ll eat it in my frumpy fleece and yoga pants, and not even care. This beef stew is amazing. Jake and I both wanted to lick the bowls, and both agreed that the flavorful thick…
I love pizza and I love corn bread. So here you go. A delicious marriage of those two amazing things. We ate these outside. So many good things at once. Too much of a good thing? Impossible. Could I eat this one or five times a week? Hell yes. Did you know that I also love individualized foods? It’s true. I do! That’s the link between my love for cupcakes and my love for these…
