Banana Bread Waffles with sprinkled powdered sugar

June 29, 2020 Baking

Banana Bread Waffles

It's confession time, I don't really like things with banana in them. Without the banana texture, the flavor by itself tastes foreign. But that changed with these Banana Bread Waffles! Banana Story Time Have you ever had a banana-flavored candy? Or used Banana extract? It smells similar to banana, but it never tastes quite like it.

The first time I had it was on a Carnival Cruise trip to the Bahamas. Which seems to be where most people come across it. However, it's also ...

Blood Orange Marmalade

March 14, 2018 Breakfast

Blood Orange Marmalade

This Blood Orange Marmalade recipe helps you dress up whatever dish you're making. From desserts to salads, to cold cuts and bbq, it's incredibly versatile! Since it's not overly sweet and slightly tart and bitter, it feels more adult, and by extension carries a more complex flavor profile. So it's been a while.... It's so good to be back to writing! We took a hiatus because life happened, Alicia and I got engaged! And we moved out! All within 2 weeks, which required tons of planning, ...
