It’s Friday and you all know what this means: It’s Cookie Friday! Yay! Today’s cookies are made with fruits so you could say they are healthy cookies. Perfect match with all those New Year’s resolutions we have, right? Well… no matter if healthy or not, these Banana Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies are definitely delicious! That’s all that counts ;)
Last week I did not really make cookies for Cookie Friday… there were cookies involved though (check the Cookie Monster Chocolate Cookie Bark). Today I’m back to my (cookie) roots with delicious tasty Dark Chocolate Brownie Cookies. With walnuts. So good! ;)
Today’s recipe did not come out of my chaotic brain. Today’s recipe is from a very sane person (unlike me) that just recently published their first book here in Germany! Yay! My favorite blogger colleague of all time – Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte has written a really nice cookbook and this Zucchini Walnut Bread is one of her many recipes in that book. So proud of her! :)
Are you ready for Easter? It’s about time to decide what to cook and bake and what kind of decorations you might want to use for the festivities. Is there something you always have for Easter? Like a traditional bake or dish? For us it’s definitely a braided yeast loaf/challah – with or without filling, doesn’t matter. And Carrot Cake Cupcakes. Easter would not be perfect without them. These little fellas are soo good, you should definitely try someday!
It’s time for the next “Bake together – The Baking Surprise”! If you could only smell the pie I made for this little baking event from Andrea (Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte) and myself… this Sweet Potato Pie with Maple Walnuts is awesome! I wished there was internet where you can smell things ;)
Somebody told me (not too long ago) that I am baking too many pies… well, could be. But let’s be honest, the term »too many pies« does not really exist in my vocabulary. Pies are great and normally easy to make. That’s why they should be baked as often as possible! Right?! I think millions of pies will be baked for Thanksgiving this year (in the US alone) – stuff like this delicious Salted Caramel Walnut Pie. That can’t be something wrong, right?! ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
