	Chocolate Chip Cookies with browned butter by Heidi Namba I've heard of making chocolate chip cookies with browned butter for years. I'm not sure if Cook's Illustrated is the creator of this fine idea but I picked this recipe up off of Natalie's Killer Cuisine blog - she claims it's a Cook's Illustrated Recipe. I love that magazine and I trust their recipes although they do tend to be a bit…	1 vote 1207 views

	Banana Bread with Quick Caramel Icing by Heidi Namba I realize that banana bread is wonderful by itself. But I guess I'm always trying to make it a bit more like cake because I like everything sweet. The sweeter and gooey-er the better. The idea to put a caramel icing on my banana bread came from reading several recipes for banana cake with caramel frosting. The banana bread recipe I…	1 vote 964 views
	Paula Deen's Molten Lava Cakes by Heidi Namba For such a fancy looking dessert, these are sure easy to make. No mixer needed. I just used a rubber spatula, a 8 cup Pyrex measuring cup and stirred it all by hand. I doubled the recipe below and used jumbo muffin pans - I filled 12 in all. I let the cakes totally cool before flipping them out of the pan. Good thing I made 2 pans…	1 vote 3038 views
	Peeps make festive cupcake toppers! by Heidi Namba Does anyone really eat Peeps? I mean honestly, have you tasted one?! Eck. BUT, I do think they are completely adorable and so nostalgic. What would Easter be without classic Peeps? I made these cute cupcakes for my son's preschool Easter party tomorrow. I wanted something besides Easter sprinkles and I had no royal icing figures that…	1 vote 428 views

After years of searching and baking and eating blueberry muffins, this is it. I will make no other recipe now. I can't wait for blueberry season this year! I will be turning out dozens of these big boys. My one and only change was to…	1 vote 894 views

	Marcy Goldman's Banana Bread by Heidi Namba New favorite banana bread recipe!! Not too banana-y. Not rubbery or too dense. Not light and fluffy either. Just moist with an adequate banana flavor and a medium crumb. I love banana bread as is but ever since I first added a cinnamon brown sugar layer in my loaves, years ago, I was hooked. I would have never guessed that cinnamon…	1 vote 456 views
	Left-Over Easter Candy Brownies by Heidi Namba My kids received WAY too much Easter candy over the weekend. This recipe was a way to use up a little bit of the ton that we have. Of course it will only work with the chocolate variety. Not jelly beans, or Starbursts, or Sour Patch Bunnies......just chocolate. But you can probably use just about any candy bar in these brownies. Some…	1 vote 707 views
	French Butter Cookies by Heidi Namba These butter cookies are delightfully simple and delicious. By themselves, they are delicate with a light crispiness with a deep vanilla flavor. The recipe calls for a teaspoon of vanilla but I added about 1 tablespoon AND I added one freshly scraped vanilla bean. I love a strong vanilla flavor. I wasn't intending on dressing them up…	1 vote 443 views
