Hummingbird Cake has an interesting origin that dates back to the 1960's in Jamaica. The cake features bananas, pineapple, nuts-- and with this version, coconut. You can easily mix this with a bowl and spatula. I made a simple cream cheese icing by piping it on the bundt cake and sprinkling with additional pecans. The cake is moist, because I've used oil instead of butter. This cake is a little
The Best Homemade and Healthy Chicken Taco Soup
I've made several version of Taco or Tortilla Soup, over the years. This is the best one, so far. This one uses canned beans and enchilada sauce. For an additional shortcut, you can use canned or rotisserie chicken. However, I pressure cooked chicken thighs in my Instant Pot. In 30 minutes, I had delicious chicken broth and tender shredded chicken. This soup tastes even better the next day! I
How to Make Rohrnudeln or Buchteln (Bavarian Hot Cross Buns)
Rohrnudel (sometimes called Buchteln) are a sweet roll, made with yeast and filled with jam (and sometimes ground poppyseeds, cream cheese or curd). This recipe was taught to me by my Bavarian cousin and has become a family favorite. They aren't time-consuming to make and they are a fantastic treat, served warm, with a cup of coffee or tea. I've been seeing a lot of recipes for "Hot Cross
Healthy, Fast and Delicious Halibut Piccata
Piccata sauce is simple to make. It contains lemon juice, butter, and capers and is traditionally served over meat or chicken. Use any kind of firm, mild fish and you'll have a delicious dinner on the table in no time at all. It's also delicious over chicken or thinly pounded pork! Oh, how my husband loves Halibut! It's a tender, firm, white fish that has such a mild flavor. He particular
Perfect and the Best Dutch Baby Pancake
A Dutch Baby Pancake has roots from the US (not Germany). I'd call it an American "Popover" if you will. This recipe has an unexpected ingredient that creates a pancake that puffs up beautifully and has crispy edges-- and is baked in a Cast-Iron Skillet. This pancake deflates within moments of being removed from the oven, and is delicious with fresh squeezed lemon juice and powdered sugar. Since I
Light Carrot Cake Sheet Cake with Light Cream Cheese Frosting
While Carrot Cake sounds healthy, it's still a dessert. It can pack on some calories, but hey, it's a delicious and moist cake! This recipe cuts way back on fat grams and calories, by reducing the amount of eggs and oil. I was dubious, but once I finished baking the cake and frosting it-- I was smitten. The cake was moist, indeed, and it satisfied both my sweet tooth and bathroom
The Best and Fluffiest Homemade Pancakes
I can't remember the last time I bought boxed pancake mix. Homemade pancakes are super easy to make, and use common pantry staples. So why not make them at home? This recipe uses "soured milk" (milk and vinegar) that mimics buttermilk. I can make the mix in 5 minutes, let the batter "bubble" in 10 minutes and before you know it-- you have tender and fluffy pancakes. There's a whisper of vanilla in
Pineapple Chicken Cashew Fried Rice
This fast and easy Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice recipe is inspired by a dish I've ordered multiple times at a Thai Restaurant. Instead of white rice, I've used brown short rice, as a healthier choice. Once you've chopped the vegetables and chicken, a wok or deep skillet makes the dish come together really fast. Garnished with cilantro, this fried rice is flavorful and a lot less expensive than
The Best Banana Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting
I know there are countless recipes for banana bread– all claiming to be the best, and I don’t doubt that! This recipe ranks right up there with all of the others. They are a one-bowl-wonder to bake. You can bake these as muffins, and leave them plain. Baked as a loaf, the frosting is the crowning glory. This banana bread is a recipe that I posted quite a few years ago, and it was in dire need
