An easy dessert for anytime, that can be served over Ice Cream, pancakes or whatever you can imagine

I used a compilation of banana bread recipes, then added the raisins, rum and cardamom just because.

We showed this recipe to Miss. Mayo from Tokyo Japan and she draw this beautiful cartoon for us

This is my Oregonian version of ants on a log. Oregon is the largest domestic producer of hazelnuts so instead of peanut butter I used hazelnut butter. I sprinkled the "logs" with some finely grated blue cheese "lichens." I topped it with a slice of yellow pear coated in a honey vinegar dressing to mimic a slimey banana slug. The result is a fun and tasty snack.

Recently, my family was lucky enough to spend spring break in Italy. My sister and her fiance live there, so we went to visit them and meet his family. During our stay, we took a day trip to the Tuscan hill town of Arezzo, a beautiful, magical place, and while there, we chose, at random, a small restaurant and wine bar at which to eat lunch.

Fried Almond Butter and Banana Sandwich - inspired by The King (TCB). Can also make many and cut into quarters for party platter.

This is a recipe that I developed for my wife who has ulcerated colitis (UC). Her system cannot tolerate any processed sugars so my baking uses honey exclusively as the principal sweetner. It also uses only almond and rice flours. Makes two loaves.

A sweet, moist cake to go perfectly with a tangy, spice filled frosting.

I was in the mood for pancakes but I did not have pancake mix and I did not feel like going to the grocery store. I did not have maple syrup, so I ended up using agave nectar, which was a great substitute! I also did not have eggs, so I resorted to the vegan version and just substituted soy milk with 2% milk. (I should go grocery shopping :-P). I googled a few recipes and got an overview of the ingredients. This is a simple recipe and took me just a few minutes to put it together. I will never buy pancake mix...ever. The pancakes were perfect and my hubby said they were the best pancakes he's ever had. Woahh!

The day that Burger King released their Hot Fudge Bacon Sundae, my S.O. and I headed for the nearest location. As we sat at the drive-up window, we could hear the employees commenting as they made our sundae:

I hesitated for the longest time to buy the ice cream maker attachment to my KitchenAid stand mixer.

Sometimes I just want to eat a stack of pancakes, and I want them to be healthy enough that I can eat the stack without feeling super guilty/like a blob. These delicious gluten-free, optionally vegan pancakes do the trick!

Is it a cake, bread, loaf? I am not sure where one crosses the boundary from bread to cake....So often we refer to "Banana Bread." It is a cake in my book. A buttery, sweet satisfying, crumbly, sugar filled treat. In this recipe I combine many seasonal flavors. The spices combined with the butternut squash give a nice holiday twist to a traditional banana bread....or cake!

Ever since returning from Tahiti, I've had tropical fruits on the brain. The mornings there always included a platter of passionfruit, papaya, wedges of fresh coconut, green grapefruit and small, sweet bananas. On a rainy morning like today I was channeling Polynesia with this oatmeal. Creamy with coconut milk and fragrant with sticky Tahitian vanilla beans, I topped it with some lightly sautéed bananas that transformed a healthy, hearty breakfast dish into something very closely resembling dessert. The oats to liquid ratio is a personal preference. The proportions I give lean toward the milky rather than the porridgy side.

These muffins taste just as good as ones with dairy and eggs, and they maintain their moistness and texture through use of bananas and a bit of applesauce.

A guilt-free non-dairy delight! I took thekichn's One-Ingredient Ice Cream and added Amaretto di Saronno, raisins, graham cracker crumb and almonds to create this vegan dessert.
