Continuing my sourdough adventures…. I had to give Alice some refreshment, and I really hate to through away perfectly good starter, I decided to make another style of breakfast bread (I already make a terrific Cranberry Walnut Bread!): Müsli Sourdough Breakfast Bread. Toasted Granola and the ever-controversial raisins are the mix-ins this time with some sweet, dark avocado blossom honey. It’s still a little dense, but incredibly moist and phenomenal flavor. I can definitely see this one going into the rotation of breakfast breads.

I seem to be the queen of finding random ingredients, and this week is no different. Have you ever heard of Banana JAM? I had no idea that you could make jam out of bananas, but you can and it’s pretty darn good. I had to buy a jar when I saw it in the shops and decided to make these here Monkey Pie Bars — Banana Coconut Crumble Bars. Amazingly rich banana flavor and toasted coconut. Perfect “tropical” flavors to warm up this cold March morning.
These are Almond Butter Cinnamon Chip Mini Cookies. A cookie will easily fit in the palm of my hand (like literally the palm part, not touching my fingers). They are wheat free / gluten free, butter free and despite taking all that fun stuff out, taste really yummy. Full of cinnamon and almond. They can also be made with mini chocolate or mini white chocolate chips.
Today is the 10th Anniversary of this here website. It was 10 years ago a few weeks ago, that I finally decided that I should put some of my recipes and photos online and Ben was nice enough to help me set up the initial iteration of the site. Ten years later, over 1500 recipes, I am still going strong. Who knew that I could keep a hobby going with such gusto!
As you folks are well aware, I sometimes have this tendency to put “unusual” flavor combinations together. Today is no exception, though I don’t think that this combination is all that odd. I give you: Pistachio and Wild Cherry Thumbprint Cookies. Ground pistachios in the dough and sprinkled on top, fantastic wild cheery jam (literally the best jam that I have ever tasted!) in the “thumbprints”. Great combo, in my opinion. If you can’t find cherry jam, plum or apricots would also be good substitutes.
