When Joy & I put on our first Homefries U retreat, we had a little help from our sponsors!
365- Weeks 38 & 39
A food related photo everyday until 2012. Here’s both week 37 & 38:
270/365 Edamame & a pomegranate spritzer at Butterfly
Banana Donuts w/ Peanut Butter Frosting
Are you sitting down? Good. So, I baked these banana doughnuts to share with you. That’s right, baked. I spared a few calories by baking the doughnuts but don’t worry I made up for it on the back end. Peanut butter frosting sounds pretty amazing right? What could possibly make it better?
Cue the flashing lights, throw confetti in the air, hug the person next to you because Browned Butter has made its way into this peanut butter frosting. Check out those browned butter bits! That’s totally not vanilla bean, it’s butter!
A banana bread like doughnut gets glazed with a sweet/savory peanut butter & browned butter frosting. Watch out, you’re getting drool on your keyboard!

Fall is in the air!
Have you ever done one of those quizzes that tells you what color season you are? I’m a Winter person. That’s right! I’m a cool tone icy blue, purple, teal, green and turquoise kind of girl. My mom, on the other hand is totally in the autumn camp. She looks great in reds oranges, golds and bronze tones. Even though I don’t look good in autumnal colors, I love EATING autumnal colors. Here’s proof with a little roundup.
Orange, yellow, browns with a few little hints of green.
Fall! You’re here. So let’s get acquainted with your color scheme.

Hello, Autumn!
Episode #19 is up!
Hello! Sorry it’s been crickets & tumbleweeds around here. I just got back from teaching with Joy at the HomefriesU BACK TO SCHOOL retreat in Palm Springs. It was soooo much fun! Don’t worry, I’ll post more on that soon. Did you get a chance to listen to Episode 19 of the Joy the Baker Podcast? Joy & I talk about GUILTY PLEASURES. Not only do we share a few of our own, we hear from a few listeners! Bacon? Donuts? Housewives? Costco samples? YES!
Happy Monday, friends. More soon!
