Always hungry.
For our summer vacation this year CateyLou and I traveled back to Italy. True to form, we moved around a lot and did our best to see as much as we could over a 10 day period. Over the next few weeks we will be highlighting some of the best towns, hotels, and restaurants from our trip and providing some helpful tips for travel within Italy. After the jump is a quick look at what we’ll be covering. …
Raspberry preserves are swirled into a cream cheese muffin batter. These Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins are so tender and have an amazing flavor!
Sorry for the lack of posts this past week. TheBetterHalf and I were on vacation in Italy! If you follow me on Instagram, you can see some pictures from the trip. I can’t wait to share more details from the trip with you, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I have a delicious breakfast recipe for you – Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins. I had a block of cream cheese to use up before we left , so I decided to make this recipe from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook
How have I never made cookie bars before? That is really a great question, because these were SO easy and SO good. I was sitting on the couch the other night, craving something sweet (by the other night I mean every night…) and decided I wanted to whip up something quickly. No chilling of the dough or softening of the butter or getting out the heavy stand mixer (I love my mixer, but it is so darn heavy, and there is no room for it on our counter top!). And then I stumbled on this recipe from Averie Cooks and had to make them immediately. It is seriously so easy! Just mix together the ingredients, spread it into a baking pan, and bake for about 20 minutes. Voila! Chocolate peanut butter heaven. …
Today I have a healthier recipe for you. Because as much as I wish every breakfast could be coffee cake and pancakes, most mornings it is an english muffin and berries or some oatmeal. I love steel cut oats in the winter, but in the summer it is just too hot for that! That’s why this recipe is perfect for summer – oatmeal that you don’t need to cook, and that you eat cold! It sounds strange, but it is so good. There are so many variations on this dish and you can customize it for your preferences….
A great recipe for classic Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread. This is a light and fluffy wheat bread that is still sturdy enough for a sandwich!
I love no-knead bread and quick easy bread, but when I have time on a weekend, I really enjoy making good old fashioned bread. The kind that requires kneading, takes up lots of time, and causes a mess. But that’s what weekends are for, right? It had been awhile since I had baked bread, so last weekend I decided to make Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread. I have made this recipe before, so I knew it would be a winner, and that TheBetterHalf would like it, even though it has whole wheat in there (he is a white bread kind of guy). …
