BIZZY BAKES

Peach-Cashew Coffee Cake  The scheduled recipe for the Home Bakers is a Peach-Cashew Coffee Cake and I am happy to say that I made this choice.  I love peaches and hubby loves nuts so we have a cake akin to a marriage made in heaven. When, I chose the cake, I did not know it was to be scheduled at this time but once I got the date, I thought, I would be able to pull it off and I guess I have.  I feel badly that I didn't get better photos but it has been an incredibly busy month with school and the Jewish holy days, which I am sure I have repeated over and over again.  I had no time to make this a second time although, I am thinking, it would be a wonderful cake for the upcoming Succot holidays.  If I do make it, I plan to update the photos, if they are better. I am sharing the recipe as it is written in the book.  I made mine gluten-free to accommodate my husband.  I ended up using frozen peaches to save the time of preparing fresh pea...

There are blogs that are addictive and A Well Seasoned Life is one of them.  There are fabulous sweet recipes even one called, Peach Enchiladas.   All those with a sweet tooth could bake their way through this blog, recipe by recipe. To make it better, there is a linky with more delightful desserts - all sorts of sweets.  You could just move in there and bake.  Please, find out for yourself. When, I stopped there before, I saw a recipe for Peach Cobbler Muffins, I wanted to link to Muffin Mondays, weekly and have been on the look-out for new recipes.  I have a few to make but when I saw this one, I ran to the kitchen and 1-2-3, they were made.  That fast........  In the midst of my baking, I realized there was no egg in the recipe and stopped.  Have you ever been in that place?  You are working at full speed, waiting for a tantalizing recipe and something leaves you with a question and you feel like you can't move forward.  Since,...

The children of one of my son's came to spend the Sabbath with us.  Since, I am recuperating, they brought the entire meal, with them and they were here, to take the stress off of me, and do the serving, preparation, clearing and basically what I should not, yet do. No self respecting Bubby (grandma) allows her grandchildren to visit without baking so despite my limitations, I did just that.  With hubby, on hand, to get the bowls and put the baked goods , in the oven, I went to work and made two quick recipes that we all love, chocolate chip cookies and one of Dorie's brownies.  I used a better chocolate in the brownies and I admit, it makes a difference.  These were the best brownies and I will blog them at My Sweet and Savory for Monday 's Baking with Dorie. I had the kids covered although they brought cinnamon rolls with them so we were well- desserted (yes, I made up that word.)  Hubby had a delicious new muffin to eat but I felt badly for him so, again wi...

Photo: Peach Pie Smoothie Recipe Food Network photo I saw the name Peach Pie Smoothie and had to make it.  I am sure if this had been called a peach smoothie, the recipe would have been the same and I would have passed it by.  I am sure, I am not the only one who is attracted by the name of a recipe or the ingredients.  So, because of the word, "pie", we are drinking healthy and delicious peach drinks.  I have a feeling, next time, I make this, I will add almond flavoring and blueberries to the peaches for a variation. Peach Pie Smoothie Adapted Ellie Krieger, Prep Time: 5 min       serving, 2 cups I ngredients:  (I doubled this or we would not have enough.  We drank it with a savory lunch and it was just right for this.   I only doubled the milk, yogurt and peaches.  It did not need additional flavoring.  If you like it sweeter, add another tablespoon honey.) 1/2 cup nonfat or 1 ...
