I want dessert. Don't you?
Nothing seems to exude late summer more than this cake. The olive oil, almonds, and honey are a nod to Mediterranean flavors, while there is a pleasant crumbliness from the medium grind cornmeal. Fresh corn kernels studded throughout the loaf remind you of the bounty that summer harvests bring. I also broiled the cake for … Continue reading Honey Cornmeal Almond Olive Oil Cake

While I enjoy sweet juicy summer fruits like peaches and berries on its own, zucchini, a summer squash, needs a little transformation to truly be palatable. My favorite way of consuming zucchini is in the form of a … Continue reading Banana Zucchini Bread with Chocolate and Walnuts
As a reluctant vegetable eater, I'd love any way I can sneak vegetable into my dessert. Summer is when zucchini is in abundance, and while I heartily enjoy a simply-seasoned zucchini roast, I'm actually a big fan of zucchini bread.

You can't just stop at one. Bourbon … Continue reading Bourbon Banana Muffins
Despite this being called a dessert blog, I don't make dessert all the time. I might want dessert all the time, but I simply don't have enough calories allotted to eat everything I want. So, I improvise. I fulfill my desire to create by adding a chock-full of healthy ingredients into what could otherwise be … Continue reading Banana-Oat Walnut Bread
