  • Banana crunch muffins

    Well, I fell off the cleanse/diet wagon. Luckily, I fell onto the sugar wagon, which is padded with toasted coconut marshmallows (thank you, Timmi!). So it didn’t hurt a bit. I am going back on the diet, but in the interim I needed to do something about these super-ripe bananas. (I randomly started calling them […]

  • Coconut pancakes

    I have had a subscription to Bon Appetit for a year (after they shuttered Gourmet) and read it every month… but none of the recipes ever looked very good to me. So imagine my surprise when I was leafing through the January issue and I saw a COUPLE of recipes that looked good. This is […]

  • Banana coconut muffins

    Remember these? Well, I didn’t have time to bake something with them when they were at this point, so I mashed them up (with a fork) and froze them. Then, today, I took this happy bag of banana mush out of the freezer, thawed it out in the fridge and made my favorite muffins. I […]
