Honey gives the bread crumb tipping a sticky-crisp sweetness that complements the tart rhubarb perfectly in this brown betty. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for betty nirvana.

Friday, June 1, 2012 in Dessert, Entertaining, Food, Vegetarian
Sweet, nutty poppyseeds. Crunchy almondy goodness. Buttery shortbread. Bad photos. Good cookies.
Deep Dark Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
Thursday, May 24, 2012 in Chicks Dig It, Dessert, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Vegetarian
Magical things happen when you bake this deep, dark hot fudge pudding cake. A rich, gooey cake forms on the top, and a warm, melty, dark, fudgy sauce forms on the bottom. Serve with ice cream and life is complete.
Glazed Greek Yogurt Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Thursday, May 10, 2012 in Breads, Breakfast, Food, Fruit, Vegetarian
This recipe can now be found on my new blog, Kitchen Treaty – the direct link is below. It is no longer available on The Hazel Bloom. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience, but I do hope you come on over to see Kitchen Treaty. It’s a food blog (and my new labor of love!) [...]
Hot Cross Bun Muffins
Monday, April 2, 2012 in Breads, Breakfast, Food, Holidays, Vegetarian
I started with King Arthur Flour’s Basic Muffins recipe, then added orange zest, a variety of orange-juice-soaked dried fruits and some warm, welcoming spices. Then I piped the telltale cross on the top and, bingo.
Coconut Banana Bread
Saturday, March 24, 2012 in Breads, Dessert, Food, Fruit, Vegetarian
A tropical twist on banana bread! This banana bread recipe is a perfectly moist and delicious version, with the added bonus of super-sweet coconut both in the batter and sprinkled over the top.

Dark Chocolate Raisinet Oatmeal Cookies
Monday, March 12, 2012 in Dessert, Food, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
Chocolate chips + oatmeal cookies are good. Raisins + oatmeal cookies are good. So I thought, how about chocolate-covered raisins in oatmeal cookies? Also good, as it turns out. Really good. Especially when you use the dark chocolate Raisinets, but regular Raisinets do just fine too.
Easy Overnight Baked French Toast
Friday, March 9, 2012 in Breads, Breakfast, Eggs, Entertaining, Food, Holidays, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
This is one of those magical recipes that tastes way too special to take only 10 minutes, if that, to prepare. With vanilla, nutmeg, and the crunch of pecans scattered along the top, you can’t go wrong. Serve with pure maple syrup and the weekend just got even sweeter.
Shamrock Shake Shortbread Cookies
Monday, March 5, 2012 in Dessert, Entertaining, Food, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
These crazy, delicious green cookies inspired by none other than the famous McD’s Shamrock Shake. We’re talking buttery green-hued shortbread flavored with vanilla and mint. Atop the cookie lies the best part – the minty buttercream, liberally flavored with vanilla and mint. And then naturally, a maraschino cherry on top.
Salted Cinnamon-Chocolate Fudge
Wednesday, February 29, 2012 in Chicks Dig It, Dessert, Entertaining, Food, Vegetarian
Divine chocolate, of course, enhanced with tons of ground cinnamon and then flecked with delicious little grains of Fleur de sel for that turbo-boost of flavor that only salt can give to chocolate.
Mint Chocolate Brownies
Monday, February 27, 2012 in Dessert, Entertaining, Food, Holidays, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
Rich, decadent chocolate brownies topped with a nice, thick, minty layer of sweet icing unabashedly spiked with green food coloring, and then sprinkled with mini chocolate chips. Chocolate on mint on chocolate.
Salted Dark-Chocolate-Dipped Oranges
Wednesday, February 8, 2012 in Chicks Dig It, Entertaining, Food, Fruit, Gluten Free, Vegetarian
So easy. Segments of oranges dipped in rich, dark chocolate and spiked with flakes of Fleur de sel … it totally works.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes
Friday, February 3, 2012 in Dessert, Food, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
The cupcake is reminiscent of a Toll House Cookie bar, but, you know, in cupcake form. Ooey, chewy, gooey, chocolate chippy goodness. And the buttercream … oh my. Lots of brown sugar, a hit of vanilla, a pinch of salt to take it over the top.
