So, earlier today, this was my excuse to have chocolate for breakfast: Cherry Chocolate Hand Pies. Nom nom nom. Would be equally as good for dessert (with ice cream!), a snack or with your afternoon coffee break.

I’ve got visitors staying with me tonight and I thought I would be all “Bed and Breakfast-y” and make some muffins in case anyone is hungry in the morning. They were a bit of a flop, mainly because I think that my baking powder is getting old, so not a lot of rise to them — remember to buy fresh leavers, folks! They do taste great though, so nothing wrong with the recipe, just a chemical malfunction on my software.
Getting to be spring so I thought that I would make the most of this lovely Sunday morning by making some spring-like food: Rhubarb, first of the season for me. This is a great little coffee cake, perfect for breakfast but would be great with afternoon tea as well. Fool-proof too. And if it isn’t rhubarb season, substitute fresh blueberries or even apricots or peaches later in the summer. Lots and lots of crumble, something my dad really loves.
Took a couple of days off from making things this week after the marathon baking week last week. And of course work was busy at the end of the quarter so I wouldn’t have had time anyway. But I did decide to make these little gems, which seem to me to be rather spring-like, even though nothing about oatmeal or apricots says spring really. They are super easy to make, pretty hard to mess up and taste great even for breakfast (there is that oatmeal in the equation).
