Whole Wheat Blueberry Scones. Black Raspberry Oat Scones. A Braided Strawberry Rhubarb Cheese Danish. This week blows...

A Braided Strawberry Rhubarb Cheese Danish

Actually I take that back... the past 2 weeks have blown. My husband worked 65 hrs week 1... then this week... he has worked 80 hrs. In 14 days he had 1 day off. The hours don't include his commute time. In total he has been away from the house a staggering 87 hrs this week and 72 the week before. We are one of those couples that does everything together... in 12 yrs we really only spend the daytime apart during working hours. Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. Vegan Double Chocolate Coconut Banana Bread. Everyone has bananas that are just past eating at some point right? I think I say that every time I post some kind of banana bread, but it’s true. We eat a ton of bananas in our house, quite literally. At the store I always think I better get one extra bunch to throw in the freezer at the end of the week for smoothies and somehow we still only end up with one or two extra. I don’t know how it happens. It might be the two monkeys we have for kids, haha. A Sneak Peek at Janice’s Trip to California for Driscoll’s University and a Recipe for Blueberry Banana Oat Bread.

Last week I jetted off to Watsonville, California for Driscoll’s University.

A Sneak Peek at Janice’s Trip to California for Driscoll’s University and a Recipe for Blueberry Banana Oat Bread

If you haven’t heard of the University, let me explain: Every few months, Driscoll’s —producers of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries — invites small groups of customers, chefs, dietitians, and farmers to their ranch for a two-day experience where they get to see firsthand how the berries are grown. I was one of the lucky dietitians this May and learned a ton about berry nutrition, berry breeding and research, and berry harvesting. Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls. So my birthday was 2 weeks ago.

Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls

I’m a foodie dork and celebrated by making myself cinnamon rolls. But not just any cinnamon rolls. Funfetti cinnamon rolls. Because c’mon, who doesn’t LOVE funfetti?! SophiaSofei. Blueberry Lemon Cornmeal Cake. Spring has arrived!

Blueberry Lemon Cornmeal Cake

There's more variety of fruit available at the markets this week. I’m patiently waiting just a bit to let the season unfold with more ripened specimens. Lemon Blueberry Bread. With Mother’s Day coming up in a few days I wanted to share a recipe that would be perfect for your brunch table on Sunday.

Lemon Blueberry Bread

I found this recipe on Pinterest and like all things from that crazily-addicting website, it was all based on looks – specifically the evenly spaced blueberries and beautiful yellow color in the photo. Sweet Pea’s Kitchen did a fantastic job making this bread look amazing, so I pinned it, printed the recipe, and pulled it out of my oven not too long after. Turns out Pinterest is good for a lot more than just wasting time – this bread was delicious! Okay, maybe it’s more “cake” than bread, but with all the lemon and blueberries, you could probably convince yourself that it’s an appropriate dish to eat before noon, especially in celebration of Mom! Sometimes I get nervous baking loaves because they can get dried out easily, but this recipe yielded an insanely moist cake with great lemon flavor thanks to the lemon syrup bath after the cake is baked. Oh, ladycakes: Raw banana nut bread.

I’ve been making a lot of raw food lately.

oh, ladycakes: Raw banana nut bread

Partly because it’s easier on my digestive system, but mostly because my oven has decided to heat up to 500˚F any time it’s switched to BAKE. Which poses a problem when you’re a baker. And when you live on the top floor of a brick warehouse, with 20 foot ceilings. This place gets so hot I could probably instruct a bikram class in here. You know, if I was into torturing myself more than I do already. Anyway, be sure you use very ripe bananas. And yes, a new oven is being delivered sometime in the near future.

Last Easter, I was absolutely obsessed, OBSESSED, with hot cross buns. Not the traditional kind, however, with all the dried fruit and candied peel and all those gross things. The chocolate chip kind of hot cross buns. It started thanks to the local bakery chain in the mall where I work.

Around last Easter, I was working at a mens retail store, and spent most of my time there amazingly BORED. Why is it that boredom always leads to over-consumption of unnecessary food? Anyway, so we would talk about chocolate chip hot cross buns, and the girl I worked with sent me to another bakery, where they sold DOUBLE chocolate chip hot cross buns. It got to the point where I actually could not go a day without craving, and maybe even eating, a chocolate chip hot cross bun. Integralni kolač s jabukama i brusnicama / Whole Wheat Apple Cranberry Bread. Please scroll down for English. U anglofonim zemljama ovakva bi se vrsta kolača nazivala kruhom, što valjda ima smisla s obzirom na to da se peče u klasičnom kalupu za kruh. Osim toga, vanjskim izgledom, a ponekad i teksturom može ličiti onome što bismo podrazumijevali klasičnim kruhom.

Izvan anglofonog svijeta, doduše, stvari su malo drugačije jer nazivi određenih jela i vrsta jela uvelike su kulturološki uvjetovani. Jedan od meni najdražih kolegija na studiju engleskog jezika bila je kognitivna lingvistika. Monkey Bread.

Lemon Coconut Bread. I am a South Indian where rice and coconut are a staple in every house. There is something that goes very well with coconut. That is the sourness of limes, lemons and tamarind. If you see any of the South Indian recipes where coconut is used, majority of them will have either lime or tamarind in them unless it is in a dessert of course. So, I do know that these flavors work very well in any form. PEAR and POPPY SEED LOAF. Cranberry.
