Hazelnut Cream Cheese Brownies 

Not much could be better than than chocolate, hazelnuts, and cream cheese. The only thing wrong with these brownies is that I didn’t make them sooner. You may remember that I made the famous Fat Witch brownies last year after I received a copy of Fat Witch Brownies. I bookmarked this recipe then, and I’ve been wanting to make these for just over a year. A year! My friends, I can assure you that these were well worth the wait.

The Menu Planner to Rule Them All

Since moving to Florida this summer, Mark and I have taken the initiative to create a bit more structure in our lives…from the food inside our cabinets, to our exercising, and now…to our meals! Menu planning is one thing we both agreed would not only make our lives easier, but so much healthier. We’ve never done it before (chalking it up to busyness), but we’ve gotten into that chips-and-queso-for-dinner scenario one too many times of late…. It was time to make a change. Enter, the menu planner to rule them all! Freezable Foods — yup, you can freeze all of this! Banana Bread with Vanilla Browned Butter Glaze.

Banana Bread with Vanilla Browned Butter Glaze

In an ironic twist of timing, Monday August 27 is National Banana Lovers Day. Guess this recipe was worth the wait because it happens to be the best banana bread I’ve ever made or eaten and after I made it, I began experimenting with other banana bread versions and recipes and have come up with at least three more that I will be posting over next month, one per week, in something I’m calling Banana Bread Fest. If you’re interested in why I am calling this bread the best ever, feel free to read on; it’s a pretty wordy post. If you just want to stare at the pictures and cut to the recipe, I understand.

Recipe Favorites: Twice-Baked Cauliflower

I'm one of those people who really like cauliflower, and I especially like this dish, possibly in memory of all those twice baked potatoes I ate before I started eating the lower glycemic index way. I remember my mother making them for special occasions, and I'd help scoop out the potato insides and mix them with sour cream, cheese and butter, and lots of cheese sprinkled on top when the potatoes went back in the oven for the second baking.

In those days all the Denny siblings considered twice baked potatoes to be the ultimate gourmet treat, something my mother didn't make very often for the twelve (12!) People she was cooking for. Don't think of the cauliflower in this recipe as just a replacement for potatoes though. Cut up the cauliflower into small pieces and cook in boiling salted water until it's barely soft, then drain and mash the cauliflower, leaving some chunks.
