Nutella filled banana bread muffins, with Pistachio streusel.

"Quarantine Cooking"

My sister said, what is it about being stuck at home that makes you want to bake? My answer to that was I do not know. But I for one am in the mood to just cook and bake up a storm. I am even contemplating making some doughnuts and bagels. This banana bread is a quick tweak to my existing chocolate chip banana bread recipe. If you got that recipe down pact, then all you must do is top it with some streusel and you are good to go.

Nutella stuffed french toast with coffee patron maple syrup

"Feast of Saint Valentine"

My French toast skills just keep growing and growing. I thought the crunchy pumpkin French toast was good, but “lord have massy”  this is yummy. The thick bread is stuffed with Nutella coated in a hazelnut and vanilla bean flavored batter, rolled in crispy corn flakes and fried in butter.  And instead of Aunt Jemima, we invited coffee patron to the party. This is the ultimate Valentine ’s Day breakfast for ya boo.

I’m finally back from my cooking holiday and a day late as well. It’s another January and chocolate month is here once more. Let start things off with a yummy chocolate cake. This is not just any cake though! This is rich, decadent, chocolaty layers with Nutella frosting and topped with Ferrero rocher ….sigh…too epic not to try. 

Mochaccino Cupcakes

Cake Cake Cake...

Well greedy guys and gals it’s another year and another June, my birthday month. So I decided that a month of baking cakes and cupcakes is in order (let’s forget for a moment that baking is not my forte) I begin with chocolate, simple chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing, black on black. Well not too simple seeing as though I added coffee into the mix.

Chocolate cupcakes with Ganache n bacon

"Feast of Saint Valentine"

Well if is isn't chocolate and meat....again. This time good ole bacon. 

Remember as a child, when you did not want your food to touch? Your eggs bacon and pancakes had to be totally separated. Then you grew a little older and accidentally had pancakes, bacon and syrup all in one bite. You enjoyed the salty sweet combo. To seal the deal Mc Donald’s introduced the bacon egg and cheese mc griddles and you dared to brave this new territory of salty sweets. Yes I remember too, I think everyone on earth realized at the same time, how great a combo it was. I’m sure that’s when the world council unanimously decided that bacon should top everything, not just a breakfast plate.  And I totally agree with their decision.
