Citrus Currant Sunshine Muffins


Well, it's nice to do a little bit of baking. I've fallen behind and literally have had ingredients on my counter for the past few recipes for weeks now! I made the corny corn muffins but they got eaten up before I could take a picture!!!


This weeks selection comes from Lauryn of Bella Baker. Such perfect timingfor a lovely spring muffin. I was asked to be a part of a women's health conference and bring some healthy muffins. These will be perfect along with a few others we've done. Mini muffins are perfect for this treat! I also added a lemon icing on them as well.

Great Grain Muffins


Christine of Happy Tummy selected a wonderful, healthy muffin. I chose apricots and walnuts as add ins. This was a yummy muffin that needed nothing more straight out of the oven. Maybe tomorrow I'll toast one with some cheddar cheese - hmmmmmmmmmm.....

Nutty Chocolately Swirly Sour Cream Bundt Cake


It's been way too, too, long but so good to be back! Moving into a new home that requires a lot of renovations has been and continues to be an incredible experience! And when your husband breaks his leg in the midst of the move - Wow!


This week's selection comes to us by Jennifer of Cooking for Comfort. I sliced this baby straight out of the oven! I thought the cinnamon was a little heavy but the chocolate and the cake texture was divine! Enjoy everyone!

Not Just For Thanksgiving Cranberry Shortbread Cake



So Sweet! So Tart! All I need is some vanilla ice cream to create a perfect harmony. I'm hoping that the cake will remain intact and not get soggy by tomorrow so that I can enjoy it with the ice cream. Something tells me that either way it will still be yummy! This was a wonderful in treat Pre-Thanksgiving! Thanks to Jessica, A Singleton in the Kitchen for this timely selection

Peanutties Blondies


Very Yummy, Very Tasty - from the dough to the finished product. Unfortunately, I used a dark coated 9 inch pan and should've turned down the thermostat so my blondies came out pretty dark around the edges and the center is not fully cooked. So, I've turned the temp on low and hoping the center will cook up some more. Hope everyone enjoys these as much as I do! Thanks to Nicole of Bakeologie for this great pick!

Fold-Over Pear Torte


Oh my goodness... did Dorie really say to lay the pie crust into the 8-inch springform pan? How about press, smoosh, press, smoosh and clump it all together! I didn't do too well in this department. I also baked mine for a lot longer than 70 minutes...more like 100. Everytime I stook a knife in the middle it wouldn't come out clean. Hmmm..... I gave up and took it out. So, it's gonna be cooling over night and will become a breakfast morning treat. Oh yea, I also used cognac instead of rum. Hope everyone enjoyed this one... My daughter says it looks like chicken pot pie ... sniff, sniff. Check out cake law at Laws of the Kitchen. She's our host this week!

Double Apple Bundt Cake




What a moist and tender cake! I love apple cake and this one is going to the top of the class! I haven't made the icing yet because Dorie said wait one day! Aw man! I can't wait to add the icing! Valedictorian after that! Thank you Lynne! Check out her blog site Honey Muffin!
