Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins with Pecan Streusel You know you’re a foodie when you express out loud how excited you are for spring/summer berries to arrive! And I’m telling you, this is pure, genuine excitement. I am such a weirdo. Another plus of the oncoming fruits and veggies, is major sales on the frozen variety. In celebration of bloobs season (which might I add isn’t until July, but you can never party too early!) Round one really was delicious, but I’d describe them more as a “cake meets muffin” or “cuffin” if you prefer. Personally, I’m a fan of round two so that’s what I’m posting, but if any of you are a die-hard cuffin fan you can email C at ILoveDavida@gmail.com.

Peanut Butter Mousse in Tuile Cookie Spoons Recently a friend asked me to bake for an upcoming party she's having, so I've been researching all kinds of bite-sized dessert canapés. One recipe that caught my attention is from BHG; a rich mousse that is served in the bowl of a teaspoon. The mousse sounds inviting, but I'm not sure I want to commit a good portion of flatware to the project (32 spoons!). Do they exist? I've wanted to try stencil paste (or tuile batter) for some time, and now I had the perfect opportunity! The tuile batter recipe comes from my new favorite cookbook, Le Cordon Bleu Complete Cooking Techniques. I'm happy to say that the stencil paste is very uncomplicated. These bake for only a short time. ...and onto the curve of a rolling pin. The hardened spoons will have a crisp texture. As for the mousse, it is very simple and quite good by itself. It is very rich and a little heavier than expected. My one complaint? Perhaps you are just plain crazy about incredibly rich and decadent peanut butter mousse. With love,

Late last night my friend had spotted this Cinnamon Bun Pancake Recipe from the blogisphere and posted it on her Facebook status suggesting for her daughter to make them.

Banana Bread Cobbler What does “comfort food” mean to you? It’s almost impossible to define, isn’t it? It really means something different to everyone. For a Southerner like me, it might mean fried chicken and cornbread. Whatever comfort food means to you, Southern Living has you covered in their new cookbook, “Comfort Food Made Easy.” When they say the recipes are comforting and easy, they aren’t kidding. Preheat the oven to 375. Top with the banana slices. To make the streusel, in a medium bowl use a fork to stir together the brown sugar, flour, and butter until a crumbly mixture is achieved. Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the banana slices. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy! A quick and easy dessert for any time of year using common pantry ingredients. Ingredients 1 cup self-rising flour 1 cup sugar 1 cup milk 1/2 cup butter, melted 4 medium-size ripe bananas, sliced Streusel topping Vanilla ice cream For the streusel: Instructions Preheat the oven to 375.

Cinnamon Bun Pancake Recipe When two people tell you that these are the best pancakes they have ever eaten, then you know that they are good. These pancakes are exactly what you want when you are craving a cinnamon bun but do not have the time to make them. These are sweet, cinnamony and fluffy. To make something delicious over the top, instead of maple syrup (which is also delicious), top them with cinnamon bun icing. This recipe is indeed a treat, but it is also a great recipe to try experimenting with whole wheat flours. *adapted from this recipe from Tasty Kitchen* 1 1/2 cups flour 3 Tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 Tablespoon cinnamon 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup milk 2 Tablespoons maple syrup 1/4 cup melted butter 1 Tablespoon vanilla Put all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients together. Add the wet ingredients and whisk together until well combined. Preheat a griddle or large saute pan over medium heat. They are delicious just like this but even better with this.
Nut Butter No-Bake Cheesecake {Plus a Vitamix Giveaway} As many of you can attest, there’s no shortage of peanut butter here at BoB. But, one thing I’ve somehow never done is make my own peanut butter. Recently, however, I received one very good reason to change that: a Vitamix. I decided to go one step further and make a mixed nut butter using peanuts, pecans, and cashews. I used my homemade nut butter as inspiration for a cheesecake. Including my wonderful homemade nut butter, I used my new Vitamix three separate times to make this cheesecake. I must confess that when the lovely folks at Vitamix offered to send me one of their beauties to try, I was excited but not overly so. And, I’m so excited to be able to give one of you your very own Vitamix! Nut Butter No-Bake Cheesecake Ingredients For the crust: 6 ounces chocolate wafers* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 tablespoon granulated sugar For the Mixed Nut Butter:** 2 cups roasted peanuts 3/4 cup roasted pecans 1/4 cup roasted cashews For the filling: For the topping: Instructions Notes
