Caramel Banana Brownies

I've been wanting to try out this idea ever since I did my Quick Easy Brownies post last month. I love caramel and bananas and thought it would be a great addition to my brownie recipe. I mashed a couple of bananas up with half a cup of caramel and swirled it into the brownie mixture. I adjusted the cooking time and hoped for the best. They came out looking great and I couldn't wait for them to cool so I could try it out. So it was time for a...

Crispy "Seaweed" with Spicy Peanut Garnish

I called this Crispy "Seaweed" but it actually is crispy kale but reminded of the fried seaweed you can order at a Chinese restaurant. I never thought of making something similar at home but was inspired by Junia and Rebecca to try this out. I wanted to add my own little touch to this simple recipe and came up with a Spicy Peanut Garnish to sprinkle over the crispy kale. This quick snack tasted great!! I will definitely be making this again......

Citrus BlogHop: Clementine Basil Mojito Loaf Cake

It's BlogHop time! This month we are focusing on Citrus. I had lots of ideas for this month and then came up with this recipe. I was inspired by a couple sources, the blog Barefoot Kitchen Witch for which my recipe is based on and my favorite mojito drink from a local restaurant Benson Blakes. This recipe was easy to whip up and loved the smells even before I baked it! Mojitos are my favorite drink when I go out and I love this loaf cake version....

Muffin Monday: Oreo Muffins

I can't remember the last time I had Oreos. Making these muffins brought back childhood memories when I used to eat Oreos all the time. Dip them in milk, twist them, eat the filling first, or eat it whole. Lots of ways I used to eat Oreos!  These muffins turned out great. I slightly changed the recipe from Food.com. First, I cut the recipe in half as I did not want to have 40 mini muffins, added a little vanilla in the batter, broke the cookies...
