Holiday Friendly Banana Bread

November 9, 2009 By Jelli 4 Comments

Dear Friends, I realize we’re all in the same boat this holiday season, concerned about our dryers mysteriously shrinking our favorite jeans, double chin reappearances, and maintaining a svelte silhouette to impress relatives who can’t  keep comments to themselves. With these things in mind, may I introduce you to your new autumn pre-Thanksgiving and December…

Carmel Apple Turnovers

August 10, 2009 By Jelli Leave a Comment

Still trying to make the best use of my 5kilos of dulce de leche, today’s recipe is for messy gooey caramel apple turnovers. Flaky pie dough hugs a tender filling of 3 varieties of apples, sugar, spices, and dulce de leche. Though I’m not yet an expert at picture-perfect empanadas, tarts, or turnovers, let me…

Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

July 23, 2009 By Jelli Leave a Comment

This week we still had an extra loaf of bread in the freezer but our sourdough starter still needed either a feeding or use. I decided to try something new with this week’s dough. Something delicious, a little lighter than the normal ooey gooey cinnamon roll, and exquisitely soft and tender. I liked the texture…

Banana Espresso Chip Muffins

June 18, 2009 By Jelli 2 Comments

Every day at about 3pm it kicks in. My major sweet tooth attack is like clockwork. I can’t do much about it, and a sip of diet Coke just doesn’t cut it. Yesterday my remedy was a delicious banana espresso chip muffin. It was perfectly moist, firm yet delicate, and most definitely sweet. Since I…

You are the sunshine of my life!

June 17, 2009 By Jelli 1 Comment

We met last summer on a warm, sunny August day (or was it July?) He was there waiting for me beneath the overflowing petals of the hanging basket above our lunch table when I arrived…with Mom and Grandma. Was he terrified? Nervous? Ready to scramble out the country barn-turned-gift shop-and-restaurant door? Not at all. He…

Pump it!

June 2, 2009 By Jelli Leave a Comment

Since I had pumpkin left over from the roll I made yesterday, I decided to make a figure friendly yet decadent muffin for snacking. This muffin is a combo of many recipes I perused this morning. Let’s just say it is exactly what I was hoping for. Delicious, loaded with vitamin A, and packing a…

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun AND Pancakes

May 26, 2009 By Jelli Leave a Comment

Me! Me! Choose me!! This month, IHOP sponsored a Pancake Olympics benefiting an animal rescue organization. Their festivities included the pancake flip, pancake toss, pancake decorating, and the event I want to sign up for ASAP: MUSICAL PANCAKES! Forget the eating contests, the tossing, flipping, and whatever else entrants did to my beloved flapjacks. The…

Hi, I'm Jelli! I snagged the best guy around, birthed four tiny kidlets, scribble down too many dessert recipes, love Jesus, and grow veggies in my front yard. Read More…
