I've been on a real banana bread tear lately and obviously can never be convinced that I've achieved banana bread perfection.

caprese crazy
The chef at one of my previous places of employment couldn't properly pronounce "caprese" if his life depended on it. Fortunately, that didn't stop him from having the best knack for perfectly combining flavors of anyone I've ever met.

frittayta, frittahta
Frittata is one of those words that always requires me to use my brain to spell. Focaccia is another one. I'm never quite sure if the double letters come first or last.

pizza...for breakfast...for dinner
As I've gotten older and the number of my responsibilities has exploded grown, I've come to appreciate some things at which I used to turn up my nose. High on that list is takeout (or, even better, delivery) pizza.

morning person
Though it wasn't always the case, I'd definitely firmly label myself as a morning person.

challenge accepted!
I've always been extremely competitive. If someone claimed claims to do something better than I, you'd better believe I'll do my darnedest to prove otherwise.
I even find myself trying to move my cart around faster than the lady next to me in the grocery store and out-walk others on the sidewalk and in the mall. I can't help it.

seeds of yesterday
Are you sick of Krusteaz yet? Tough (non-Krusteaz) cookies if you are, because I most definitely am not.

pumpkin spice explosion
There is such an obsession with pumpkin spice right now! Lattes, bread, muffins, donuts, even chewing gum--everywhere you look, there's something pumpkin-spiced.

the ones you know by heart
Most of us have recipes we've made so many times that we know them backwards and forwards and could probably carry them out blindfolded and with one hand tied behind the back. I have several of those, and this is one I can't believe I haven't shared.

flapjack* lovers unite!
*In this case, I mean American flapjacks, which are not to be confused with the British type.

gimme a quiche on the lips
I've become quite the fan of quiche. When all is said and done, what's not to love? There's nothing wrong with creamy, custardy eggs and tasty toss-ins encased in a flaky pastry crust...except that you might have to make said pastry crust.

gettin figgy wit it.
I had my very first fresh fig just one month ago, can you believe that?
It was pretty good, though I've been hard-pressed to find a fruit that I don't like. The thing is, I think I prefer them dried! That chew and the concentrated flavor is tough to top.

rollin' rollin' rollin'
My beloved bakery makes the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. That's not an exaggeration, folks, and I'm not the only one with that opinion.

scone zone*
Near the tippy-top of my list of people I'd love to meet and hang out with for any amount of time is Conan O'Brien. That man is a laugh riot.

wake-up call (and a novica giveaway)
Savory scones almost always look so drab.
Even if you get crazy and add scallions, they're still basically white or dark orange inside brown upon brown around beige. Blah.

good gravy! (giveaway)
Ah, gravy. Red eye, chipped beef, or sawmill, you really can't go wrong when you're looking for a flavorful and comforting way to greet the day.

a is for apricot (and almond)
How do you pronounce "apricot"? Most people around here say "app-ricot" but for some reason, I say "ape-ricot." I imagine somewhere it's pronounced "ah-pricot," and some goobers who like to Frenchify things might say "apri-co."
