I love baking all the treats for my family’s lunches. The best way to ensure that I’m not standing at the oven daily though is to bake in large quantities and freeze in portions for quick lunch-packing in the morning. This recipe makes 24 muffins and one loaf. I love nuts in zucchini bread but …
I’m sorry. I felt the need to just get that out of the way. I’m sorry, because what you’re about to make is chock full of calories but is so damn good you’re not gonna care. You’re going to be smacking people’s hands out of the way as you go in for seconds. No sirree …

With tomatoes now being plentiful, it’s the perfect season to slow roast them. Not only do they serve as a delectable treat, but they can also be frozen and used later …
My husband knows I’m a total carb whore. He uses this knowledge to his advantage, not by being my Sugar Daddy, but by being my Bread Pusher. Not only can he bake up delicious loaves of bread and soft buns, but he also makes his own naan! Total enabler that man. Now, he’s moved onto …
