Oh, hey, neglected blog. HEY. (sorry…!)

We’ve got another family birthday, which means another perfect excuse for me to bake!   (or rather, a reason to bake when I haven’t had much time to do so for fun.)  This time, it’s my mom’s birthday, but I didn’t ask her what she wanted since she’s usually pretty vocal about what she likes.   One of her favorite desserts is key lime pie, so I almost made mini key lime tarts (specifically these…omg). However, it seems like I’ve made a lot of key lime things for her in the past, so I decided that mini banana cream pies would be a good idea since she loves banana desserts, too.

I LOVE BANANA PUDDING, so for me this was a win/win situation.  (Growing up, I would always get either those star pops or banana pudding blizzards whenever we went to Dairy Queen.)  That said, I had never tried making banana pudding from scratch.  When I started searching for recipes, I kept finding some for vanilla pudding layered with bananas and Nilla Wafers.  While I do appreciate vanilla pudding, I wanted banana pudding.  That’s when I thought to check Homesick Texan, and bingo!  With roasting a banana as the first step, I had found my recipe.

These might as well be called Lazy Muffins.  You see, I bought some bananas a few days ago, but didn’t eat them fast enough.  I’ve never really thought of myself as a picky banana eater, but evidently I am.  Green is no good, but neither are brown spots.  I like my bananas perfectly yellow, apparently.

Anyway, when life gives you overripe bananas, make carbs, right?  So that’s what I decided to do.  But then the two eggs I had were past the expiration date and I was too lazy to go buy some more.   You may assume that I decided to add raspberries simply because I had some. Continue reading →

Black Forest Cake

My dad got me into baking when I was a kid.  He’s not a professional baker, but is good at following directions to a T, which seems to be a good trait in baking. Together we made things like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, frozen chocolate custard, triple chocolate cheesecake, and Black Forest cake.  Hmm…looking back, I’m definitely noticing a trend!

Black Forest Cake

I’ve always baked desserts for holidays, but this past year started baking things for family birthdays rather than giving gifts.  It’s much more fun to give something that you’ve made yourself! Continue reading →
