The good news is… I made you bread. It tastes like pizza. It’s swirled with piles of grated provolone and spicy pepperoni and a nice little mixture of Italian seasoning [...that came out of a tube]. Yeah. We all do it. http://www.howsweeteats.com/2011/08/pizza-swirl-bread/

Pizza Swirl Bread | How Sweet It Is

http://www.honeyandjam.com/2010/06/dorie-greenspans-perfect-party-cake.html I’m a big believer in baking cakes just because you want to. I made this one because it’s Thursday, and Thursdays definitely need some joy injected into them. What is it with Tuesdays and Thursdays? They are always so dull.

Yesterday, my dad brought me 3 or 4 big freezer bags full of sour cherries from my grandpas cherry trees. That’s a lot of cherries, folks. My mind was racing with possibilities, cherry pie, cherry tarts, oh so much tastiness to be had. I really wanted to make them last though, be able to enjoy them for a while.

http://www.honeyandjam.com/2010/06/homemade-black-tea-lemonade.html Happy first day of summer, everyone! To celebrate, I’m bringing you a recipe for my favorite summer drink. I was first introduced to this delicious concoction through Starbucks - their black tea lemonade. It’s also known as an Arnold Palmer. No matter what you call it, it’s delicious. I don’t know about you, but I find lemonade a little strong on it’s own.

Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

It was getting late, and I had the itch. The itch to bake of course, which I find myself with often! I was looking for something simple and sweet, and the bag of Oreos on our counter was calling to me. Then I came across Brown Eyed Baker's Oreo Cheesecake cookies, and that was that. I mean, cookie covered cookies? I'm in! http://thisistolove.blogspot.com/2011/08/oreo-cheesecake-cookies.html

Roti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roti is generally a South Asian bread made from stoneground wholemeal flour, traditionally known as atta flour , that originated and is consumed in India , Pakistan , Bangladesh , Nepal and Sri Lanka . It is also consumed in parts of the Southern Caribbean, particularly in Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago. Its defining characteristic is that it is unleavened . Indian naan bread, by contrast, is a yeast -leavened bread. Roti is sometimes referred to as "Kolcha" in Indian cuisine, albeit this term is seldom used outside of the Indian subcontinent.

Oh yeah! Red Velvet Cake, with Cream Cheese Frosting… AND A LAYER OF CHEESECAKE IN THE MIDDLE! This cake has been in the planning process since February. When my friend began her plans for her husband’s surprise birthday, I immediately asked if I could make the birthday cake for Lincoln. I love any opportunity to bake, and wanted to know his favorite flavor. She began to describe his favorite cake by saying “He loves red velvet.”
