This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_6784-e1617219729973.jpgThe folks over at Leite’s Culinaria posted this terrific sounding Banana Bread with Nutella.  Yes.  Nutella.  And I had a jar of Nutella in the cupboard, and several very ripe bananas just waiting for such a recipe.  But…and you knew there would be a “but”, didn’t you?  Because The Goddess can never, ever just leave a recipe alone.  This time, I think you’ll be very happy that she didn’t!

Vietnamese-Flavored Meatloaf

≈ 4 Comments

Tags

baking soda, brown sugar, dry potato flakes, egg, fish sauce, fresh ginger, fresh herbs, Garlic, Ground pork, lemongrass, milk, Scallions, Shallots, Spices

I’ve had Banh Mi on my mind recently.  At this point, venturing out for a Banh Mi, is foolishly indulgent, no matter how good it is.  And these are good!  Solution?  Make some for the The Latin Lover and me.  To that end, a meatloaf seemed like the place to start.  This is that meatloaf.  Continue reading →

Applesauce-Oatmeal Tea Cake

Tags

all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, eggs, Spices, toasted oatmeal, toasted walnuts, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, white sugar

This little gem of a cake is perfect for breakfast or an afternoon tea (or coffee).  It’s moist, actually gets better as it sits, (though it is damn fine the first day, too!), isn’t too sweet, keeps well and is more or less, a one-bowl cake.  It is just plain lovely!  Continue reading →

≈ 1 Comment

Tags

all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, black pepper, buttermilk, cheddar cheese, fresh herbs, olive oil, parmesan cheese

Okay, so this should really be called “Cheese-Herb” Quick Bread, because there’s way more cheese than herb.  But, I think the herbs are much more of a forward flavor, than the cheese…whatever you call it, doesn’t matter.  Just make it… Continue reading →

Tags

baking soda, Bing cherries, cherry brandy, cocoa, coffee, espresso powder, flour, Greek-style yogurt, salt, sugar, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, vinegar

One Layer Chocolate-Cherry CakeThe Goddess likes cake.  Yes, she does.  She doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, but chocolate cake is so good for breakfast.  This recipe is a riff on that old Peg Bracken cake from her “I Hate to Cook” cookbook.  In her recipe, you mix the cake right in the pan you’re going to bake it in.  It was a drop-dead easy recipe and had such a good flavor, so naturally The Goddess tossed in some bing cherries…naturally.  Continue reading →

all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, hot coffee, unsweetened cocoa, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, white sugar

Tea Cup Chocolate CakeIn days past, before measurements were standardized, this is how things were put together.  Every woman had her “special” tea cup, she used just for baking, or not.  This is the way my grandmother made chocolate cake.  And what a cake it is. Continue reading →

Spiced Pumpkin Bread with Cranberries and DatesThe Goddess loves this time of year, when the frost is on the pumpkin, the leaves are a riot of color and there’s just a slight chill in the air.  It’s soup weather.  It’s stew and chili weather.  And it’s time to make pumpkin bread!  Continue reading →
