So about a month ago I came down with the biggest pain-in-the-ass cold, because my company moved into a new building and that building had rogue air conditioning. Since I've lived in Los Angeles for the last decade and resist wearing anything but Rainbow sandals and t-shirts well into November, I quickly grew ill and ended up huddled under several blankets for a whole day. The fever agitated my anxiety over how unproductive I was being (this is what working in publishing does to your brain, children) and so, obviously, I decided to bake! But not something that made any kind of sense (chicken noodle soup? Bread for toast?) http://www.autostraddle.com/get-baked-whiskey-brown-butter-walnut-chocolate-chip-cookies-146650/

Whole Bean Vanilla Cookies Recipe

I was pulling the sad remnant of a vanilla bean from a bag of sugar the other day, and it got me thinking about using whole vanilla beans. The entire pod. I'm sure this isn't a unique concept, but for whatever reason, it's not something I'd ever considered before. http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/whole-bean-vanilla-cookies-recipe.html
You can't help but want to bake something that goes along with the spring weather. This was supposed to be an actual cake, but it's always a good idea to check to see if you have the proper pan you'll need before coming up with a recipe. Oh well, cupcakes are just as adorable. Probably more adorable, right? Ingredients

http://nomasterchef.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/banana-peanut-butter-tart/ Every now and again, a strange idea strikes me. Sometimes it’s inspired by a conversation, a meal I ate or a recipe I saw. In this particular case, it was a conversation between an American and a Scotsman about Banana and Peanut Butter sandwiches.

Lemon Squares

I was on a mission. I needed more Green Scene No-Bake Energy Bites. I had been to the cozy organic market and deli just the week before. The half dozen Energy Bites I grabbed from the Green Scene deli lasted only minutes in the car on my way home. http://sdoeden.areavoices.com/2012/05/13/green-scene-no-bake-energy-bites/

http://www.raspberricupcakes.com/2012/04/banana-scones-with-whipped-honey-butter.html My love of scones is well-documented . But one thing has always irked me about my homemade scones; they're not very photogenic. In fact, the lumpiness and uneven shape of my original CWA scone post makes me cringe so much that I keep wanted to redo the photos.

BROWN SUGAR SOUR CREAM BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE

I need to get better at naming recipes. Usually, I just list the ingredients in a tasty sounding matter, but for this recipe...there's too much tasty! Obviously I have to mention the blueberries, but what about the brown sugar, giving it a deeper, almost maple-y flavor? I should also bring up the sour cream, adding a tangy richness.
