Double Chocolate Banana Cake {vegan, GF}

Double Chocolate Banana Cake {vegan, GF}

I decided to wing it with this one. After all, making cakes week in and week out gives one a fair idea of how to do it right… right?! Based loosely on my own adaptation of Tracy Benjamin’s Hippy Banana Bread, and loosely on my own ideas of how to make a vegan chocolate cake,…

Best Ever Muffin Master Mix {nut-free}

Welcome back! Big changes have been occurring over here! My little one, my constant companion, the one who makes my heart sing and drives me batty all at the same time, has started at preschool.

Malibu Coconut Bread

{Disclaimer}: I use the word ‘Malibu’ loosely; the only rum in this bread is essence, and the only Malibu is on the jacket I’m wearing as I bake. 😉 “We’re all going on a summer holiday…” Ha! If only…! It’s the middle of winter here – cold, grey and miserable, but plans are afoot to get…
