I baked these blondies today for my new neighbors. Since this is our first holiday in the new house, I wanted to do something nice for them. I wanted to bake something with a festive ingredient and also something that was easy to package. Chris and I sampled these blondies and were delighted to discover that they tasted like a pumpkin pie with eggnog. So if you dig pumpkin pie, bake a batch of these blondies today!

Peanut Butter Cup Blondies
I recently discovered blondies. They’re all over the baking aisles at the market during the holiday season and for the longest time; I didn’t know what they were. I finally looked it up and found out it was a lighter version of brownies. And since I had some dark peanut butter cups lying around, which I’m not too fond of (I’m a milk chocolate fan), I thought —why not bake some and throw those in there?
Chocolate Chip Coffee Muffins
I just got back from a 5-day family trip. We celebrated Thanksgiving in sunny Mexico! It was a good thing too because the week of Thanksgiving, it sucks to be at the grocery store. Anyway —there were ten of us on this trip and we all stayed in a 3-bedroom suite. Before we arrived at the hotel, we made a stop at the market to pick up some groceries. One of which was instant coffee since we didn’t know if the hotel would provide any. They did but only for a couple of days, as the coffee they provided were samples. The hotel wanted us to purchase coffee at their on-site market. Thank goodness for instant! We got a big jar of it which we didn’t finish so I volunteered to take the leftovers home. Since I wasn’t really a fan of instant coffee, I thought it would be great for baking. These muffins were delicious! You can really taste the coffee and the chocolate chips were a nice complement to the coffee flavor. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving (belated) to all!
Banana Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins
My homemade vanilla extract is finally ready for use today –hooray! It’s been a long anticipated wait (I waited two months) and it’s finally here. So I decided to test it on a batch of banana espresso chocolate chip muffins. Why? Because I had some overly ripe bananas sitting on the counter. And who doesn’t like anything with espresso and/or chocolate?
Bacon and Chocolate Muffins
About a week ago, I came across a fellow blogger’s bacon, pecan & chocolate chunk muffin recipe that intrigued me. I decided to make my own version of it using what I had since I’m not a big fan of nuts.
