Banana Bread (Inspired by the Disneyland Hotel)
I was in a banana bread-making mood last weekend. And I just so happened to come across this recipe at Food.com, where they mentioned that this banana bread is served at the Disneyland Hotel. Not having ever stayed there myself, I hadn’t ever tasted their banana bread, but it sounded like a great recipe to try! After all, I’m…

Pomegranate Walnut Banana Bread
I had some very ripe bananas a few days ago, so naturally I thought of making banana bread. But I wanted to try something different. I’ve been seeing recipes with pomegranate seeds quite a bit, and I finally tried some. I love the way they taste, so juicy with a light sweetness, and a little…

Chocolate Chip-Cherry Banana Bread
I love trying different variations on banana bread–there seem to be so many! I’ve made a Chocolate Chip Banana Bread before, which is really yummy, so a banana bread with chocolate chips and cherries in it sounded really good! This quick bread is such a treat and if you want a more elaborate dessert, you can…

Irish Soda Bread
Whenever St. Patrick’s Day comes around, I see different recipes for Irish Soda Bread and I finally decided to try making it! I found a recipe at Kraft that sounded good and it looked pretty easy, too. I modified it slightly and was happy with how it turned out! It has

Yum Plum Crumb Loaf
Yum Plum Crumb Loaf…a little bit of a tongue-twister, but it really does describe this moist and tasty quick bread! My friend Ann, who has lots of yummy recipes and had lots of plums from her backyard plum tree, gave me a recipe for Plum Bread that a friend gave her, which I changed up…

Ann’s Jalapeno (or Green Chile) Cornbread
If you’re a fan of cornbread or savory, cheesy breads, I think you will love this recipe! My friend Ann gave it to me last fall, after I had made some Cheddar and Green Onion Cornbread. I finally got around to making this, and wish I had made it much sooner because it is sooooo good!…

Lemon-Zucchini Loaf with Lemon Glaze
I baked this loaf late one evening, sleepily mixing the glaze while the loaf was cooling. A little later, yawning while I drenched the loaf with the lemon glaze, I was hoping, after this late night baking session, that this creation of mine would taste good when I tried it the next day.

Sunken Apple Pie Bread
This recipe was kind of an experiment one day when I was craving an apple dessert. I didn’t have time to make a pie and didn’t have any apples, but I did have a can of apple pie filling. So I tried making this apple bread. I peeked at it while it was baking, and…

Pumpkin Bread with Pumpkin Buttercream
I make a lot of pumpkin bread in the fall and winter, and wanted to try out a new recipe. So I decided to try the Pumpkin Loaf from Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins & More by Carole Walter (I made a few small changes, noted in the recipe below). It’s a great basic pumpkin bread recipe—the…

Cinnamon Streusel Banana Bread
I almost gave up on making Cinnamon Streusel Banana Bread. I had tried several different recipes that sounded really good, but was disappointed with how they turned out. They were okay, but not nearly as good as I thought they would be. I decided to make one more attempt. I searched again and found this recipe…

Caramel Toffee Banana Bread with Caramel Glaze
Like many of you, when I have bananas that are getting too ripe, I like to make banana bread (unless the weather is too hot for baking—then I put the bananas in the freezer and use them for smoothies!). I really like trying out different versions of banana bread, and a caramel-flavored one sounded good!…

Cheddar and Green Onion Cornbread
I remember the first time I had cornbread, in my twenties—there was a soup and salad place I would often eat lunch at that had really good basic cornbread, and I’ve been a fan of it ever since! I was thinking it would be nice to make a savory cornbread with cheese and green onions,…
