The kitchen is getting a bit intensivo...

Our kitchen was a little out of control tonight...

Pomegranate Olive Oil Muffins

I  had three leftover pomegranates from Thanksgiving. Marc and I had Missy and Andrea over last night and I was supposed to make a pomegranate feast. I had all these ideas in mind...Arugula, prosciutto, pomegranate salad...lamb chops with pomegranate relish...pomegranate glazed salmon....and then it hit! the bad mood...

Banana Bread

This recipe is adapted from one my dad gave me, from one someone else gave him. So typical! I feel like most my blog entries start that way. This bread is dense and delicious! Most important, you can make this from ingredients you probably have in the house. I always buy bananas when I go shopping. As they turn brown, I throw them in the fridge, and then the freezer. I use the frozen bananas to make bread or as a sweetener in baking instead of using so much sugar.

Chocolate Zucchini Spice Cupcakes

 I have had this zucchini in my fridge and lately i feel like I have been making everything zucchini to use it up! Zucchini omlets, zucchini stir fry, the list goes on....and it seems like it just won't ever disappear.

Frozen Pretzel Raspberry Pie

Its damn hot outside. The weather forecast claims that it is only 83 degrees, but we all know that the weather lies. I am melting in my hot kitchen and the last thing I wanted to do was turn the oven on. Alas, I really wanted to make this frozen pretzel raspberry pie for a rooftop potluck I was going to, which required me to bake the crust. There are remedies for everything...

chocolate-butterscotch tofu pudding

I needed something to do with this tofu that has been in my fridge before it went bad. I had plans to make different dinners but it just wasn't calling out to me. So after perusing a zillion food sites, I found a few recipes for tofu pudding. I combined a few to come up with this recipe. I have to tell you I'm sure you are very skeptical right now thinking, "that sounds nasty", but I'll have you know its actually delicious and slightly healthier than regular pudding.
