Pão de Ló - Portuguese Sponge Cake by Sofia Reino

I have always loved this recipe, especially when one is able to cook in in such a way that the middle part is still wet. I have always been afraid of making this recipe as I am not the best at baking. But amazingly enough it came out perfect and I am very proud of myself.

My version of Nigella's Chocohotpot by Padma Priya Manikam

This is a dessert made by British chef Nigella and I have made it several times varrying a little. The original recipe calls for 4 ramikens but I bake mine in a rectangle oven-proof dish. I also use Van Houten's cooking chocolate. Below is the recipe adapted by me and for the original recipe kindly refer to the web link.

Chickpea Brownies by Paula Nicholson

These actually turned out really great! I am doing weight watchers and saw a recipe for black bean brownies. Unfortunately, I did not have any black beans but had chickpeas and have made cookies with chickpeas before and they were great. I took a chance and these brownies actually turned out really decadent with no funky after…

Granola by Linda

Quick and easy to make and much healthier than the kind you buy! Play with the ingredients. Maybe you would like pepitas instead of the flax; or vanilla instead of the cinnamon and nutmeg. Try adding dried fruit. Then, serve it with yogurt for breakfast or sprinkled over berries for a quick dessert.

Chocolate Orange Muffins by The Farmers Wife

I should make you all wait for this recipe... I mean I have so many other breakfast recipes I've been holding onto that I haven't posted yet, and I promised you my silly story about hashbrowns... I mean seriously this recipe is worth waiting for, but then you couldn't all rush out and get everything you need to make these for Sunday…

Pear and Blueberry Muffins with Ginger and Cardamom Spices by Geni

These soft and addicting muffins have such a nice texture and flavor with the pear puree, plump fresh blueberries with a hint of cinnamon and cardamom. This recipe utilizes almond flour as well so it gives you a bit of protein and a taste of almond.

Candied Ginger Scones by The Kitchen Magpie - Karlynn Johnston

These have been in the back of my mind for a while and I finally got around to making them. And I know I always say it, but really, these are my new favorite. I can say that because I only post my favorites, any recipe that isn’t worthy of the title “scone” is never posted. These are spicy with the ginger, crisp with the butter…

Better Than Sex Brownies by maribeth carson

I LOVE LOVE LOVE to BAKE!!! It is almost certainly the primarily favored thing I share from my kitchen. This recipe is fairly easy to make even for novice bakers but will have people thinking you toiled away making it. If you chose to top with frosting you can make your own or buy one off the shelf & make that your little secret.…

Peach-Pecan Muffins by The Mom Chef

Spring break in North Carolina. Yesterday it was snowing and today the sun is shining and the temperatures are headed into the 60's. That abrupt change is similar to what goes on in our house during spring break. Dudette, who usually sleeps until I have to wake her so she'll be ready to leave for preschool on time, is suddenly popping…

Calypso Blondies by Adam Janowski

I so love blondies! Blondies are basically brownies without the cocoa and contain brown sugar instead of white sugar. Brownies seem so “old hat” these days. Few people make them from scratch and you see them everywhere from PTA meetings to school bake sales to church bazaars. Blondies are not seen as often and are really easy to make.…
