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

it isn't dead, it's just resting
Chivalry, that is.
I definitely don't want to get into any sort of conversation about feminism (and people who know me might suggest that I usually don't want to get into any sort of conversation at all...), though I might be dancing around the topic a bit in this post. You've been warned. read more words!

the next big baby name?
Chutney. That's my prediction, anyway. After some of the ones I've seen, it's not out of the question, amiright?

*Not to be confused with krumping, which is entirely different and not in any way the same.

his favorite
While I'm assuredly pretty close to the tippy-top of my boyfriend's list of favorite people*, this is a post about his favorite desserts.
*I'm pretty sure he isn't thrilled that I'm focusing on him in a post, and it could result in me moving down a notch or two on the aforementioned list.

swour (it'll make sense in a second)(i hope)
I'm definitely on a sweet and sour kick lately. Isn't it interesting how our taste buds transform and develop over time?

blessed be
There seems to be ample evidence that many of my favorite side dishes could almost double as a dessert--I've posted several that have plain ol' granulated sugar as an ingredient (exhibits A, B, D, M, and R, for starters). I must have a sweet tooth or something.

sweetest salad ever
What if I told you I lived without a blender for nearly all of my adult life? It's true--I just didn't have a need for one.

"pretty please...
...with a cherry on top." So many times, the promise of that cherry makes all the difference and suddenly, like magic, the person you're asking to do something for you is willing to do it.

flat-out delicious (and a great giveaway)
If you're anything like me, you often find inspiration for suppers at home in menus at restaurants. That was the case here.

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.

whet your appletite
The first baked treat I endeavored to make from scratch was an apple pie. Best to start with something simple, right?

no fire required
While there are a number of sweet treats associated with New Orleans (beignets and bread pudding, to name a few), one of the most awesome desserts that has its origins in The Big Easy is bananas Foster. For my money, it’s hard to beat the combination of bananas, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and rum.

mommie dearest
Here I go again, posting a cheesecake recipe even though I've come right out and said that cheesecake is not something that makes me swoon. I still find it tolerable at best.
That said, I will gladly tolerate anything that looks as impressive as this treat, with its lovely swirl of raspberry preserves swimming through a smooth, creamy cake. read more words!
