I wanted this post to be prettier so I could really let the glory of my new mini loaf pan to sing, but alas, I haven’t used my digital camera in months, and I really need to start documenting my recipes again. Searching through my browsing history just isn’t cutting it anymore. But. Whatever. I made my first banana bread earlier this summer and I was unnecessarily shocked at how tasty it was. Finally made it again, with a few modifications. Also, a new CATEGORY: “vegan” !

breakfast
strawberry almond muffins
This is off-season, but that’s what I get for archiving a bunch of half-finished posts. Well, you get what you get, readers! (All two of you. Hi.) To be honest, I feel like these muffins were too moist. Maybe I should have baked them a little past set. I mostly needed to find something to use up my overripe strawberries with, so found this recipe. Will probably try something else next year. (Or buy fewer baskets of strawberries…)
waffles
Waffles! But first, check that your baking powder hasn’t expired! Typically baking powder has a shelf life of about a year, after which it’s time to get a new can. Apparently baking soda is much more shelf stable, but probably good to check every now and then. Ok, then when you’re ready… Read more
buttermilk pancakes
It’s been awhile since I had pancakes… and I somehow lost my old trusted recipe. So this time I decided to trust the 7000 reviews on this Allrecipes post. With a few lazy modifications. Also these are the most boring pictures ever. But nobody cares when you’re eating pancakes on a weekend morning 🙂

first attempt – liege waffles
These liege waffles were a huge pain in the butt. I had to buy special ingredients (Belgian pearl sugar), it took forever (3 days?) and to be honest I don’t think they came out that well. During our Portland trip a few months ago, we went to Off the Waffle for our last breakfast and damnnnn that waffle was amazing – I was inspired. But alas, my first attempt at liege waffles yielded something much denser and all-around not as mouth watering. Yes, they were still okay – it’s hard for sugared bread to be disliked, but with Off the Waffle fresh in my mind… I just couldn’t love these.
But I mean, I made them for a birthday brunch for a group of friends and they were a hit anyway. Maybe my standards are too high. But you know, maybe not.
When I’ve forgotten about this waffle incident I hope to revisit a less complex recipe and work on a second attempt. That may be awhile from now.
