I have a deep love for zucchini breads of all kinds. I make them all the time. Up until recently my favorite had been a coconut zucchini bread (recipe another time, ahem), but my top spot has now been replaced by the ultimate, the best, most amazing (according to Ali) Chocolate Orange Zucchini Bread.

At my place there are a lot of nights where breakfast becomes dinner. Between having breakfast for breakfast, and breakfast for dinner, we tend to go through a lot of maple syrup. I wanted to try out a homemade syrup recipe, just a basic Maple to start. It turned out great and it was very simple to make.

This is why I don’t bake very often,…
Thank you to Yahoo! Mail for sponsoring this post about staying connected. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do. Are you emotionally connected to email? Can you imagine life without it? We could communicate without it, but it wouldn’t be quite the same. We couldn’t send one message to 80 people at once or forward a website to a friend. Everything would slow down, for sure. Do you have a special email memory?…
Have you ever had a delicious Strawberry Banana Smoothie? I took inspiration from that and created this tasty recipe for Strawberry Banana Bread. To up the yum factor, try toasting this in a toaster oven or in a skillet with just a dab of butter. Strawberry Banana Bread Makes one loaf 1/2 cup butter 2 eggs 3 large very ripe bananas 1 1/2 tablespoons sour cream or 1 1/2 tablespoons buttermilk 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1 cup sugar 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking…
