Banana Bundt Breakfast Bread!

Happy Weekend!
We had a lovely potluck senior brunch this morning! I brought this!

It's my usual whole wheat, fat free banana bread recipe, but I wanted to make it look a little more special! Hence, Banana Bundt Bread, dusted with powdered sugar! I suppose you could call it cake...I brought along some honey cinnamon cream cheese frosting to go with it too :)

Yum yum....

Pretty with my roommate's flowers in the pic!
Enjoy!

Banana Cupcakes with Honey Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting!!

Happy (almost) Valentine's Day!

Which for me is basically just an excuse to make baked goods that are heart shaped, love-themed, or red & pink!

So these cupcakes aren't actually very Valentine's Day-y, BUT I happened to have a lot of bananas that were in need of being used in some sort of baking. So why not try out some banana cupcakes?! Frosted with honey cinnamon cream cheese frosting (which is as decadent as it sounds), and topped with a conversation heart, of course, to make it festive :)

^^I'm bringing this dozen to work... ^^

...giving some to friends for their birthdays....

...and keeping some for me and my roommates!


Perfect!

I'll be doing some more baking in the spirit of V-day, so stay tuned!!

Healthy, In-Season, & Scrumptious: That's What It's All About

Happy Fall!
The colorful, cooler season brings warm, comforting flavors to the forefront, and gives me an excuse to test out lots of new pumpkin and apple recipes!

I made these little guys for my group's presentation to Whole Foods.
They are Pumpkin Apple Cinnamon muffins. Made them mini so that everyone in the class could try them! The best part? They are whole wheat, fat-free, reduced sugar, and DELICIOUS! The Marketing Manager of Whole Foods loved 'em, that says something, right?!


More Fall Baking to come!!
