Chocolate Pecan Bars

Cookies, Dessert By Alana March 6, 2016 Tags: bars, chocolate, dessert, pecan, walnuts 2 Comments

I’ve always had a ridiculously strong sweet tooth. Ice cream and cookies are two food groups I am good at justifying eating daily. I can control it when I want to but for the most part I don’t want to… That has been the case lately as I have been giving into my sweet tooth more frequently. I like to think though that I am good at consuming sweets in moderation, daily, but in moderation… (Am I making any sense??)

So I felt the need to make some of these chocolate pecan bars to be a part of my daily sweet tooth cravings. Believe it or not I actually think these worked at curing my sweet tooth, for a few days of course, not permanently. They are so good and the perfect amount balance of sweet and salty.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Breads By Alana January 10, 2016 Tags: banana bread, chocolate chips, walnuts 2 Comments

I recently started a new job in the past month and have been a little busy getting situated and recouping from the holiday season. The result is that I have had a little less time on my hands for cooking and baking. However, I think I’m finally getting back in the swing of things starting with this banana bread recipe.

Having a good banana recipe is a must if you ask me. For one it seems like bananas are always going brown on me. Secondly, banana bread is super easy to whip up any day of the week. This means if you ever are having company over or have a craving for something sweet, this recipe is perfect.
