Hey friends❣️

It's adorable. It's one bowl. And it's a flavor combination that never disappoints.

​Banana Poppy Seed Cake with Vanilla Bean Frosting​

This banana cake from 2013 got a refresh but the recipe stood the test of time. The only thing I changed was to reduce the poppy seeds a bit, otherwise no tweaks were needed!

Here are a few more banana recipes to tempt you...including my favorite layer cake on the site!

Great recipe! Easy to make in a blender and perfect with any seafood dish. I made it to put on a shrimp poboy.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

pound cake

Hey friends❣️ If you only master one baking recipe I think the perfect pound cake would be a great choice :) Perfect Pound Cake Pound cake is a pretty straightforward combination of butter, flour, eggs and sugar, but within that framework there's a surprising amount of wiggle room. I tried several different variations before I settled on the best. It's soft, fragrant, and moist. (I hate it when a cake dries out minutes after I slice it.)

biscuits

Hey friends❣️ I had fun sifting through the Great Island archives for the most popular recipes from the months of April ~ from 2011 all the way up through 2025.

I think they'd be perfect with your Easter ham. Sometime this month the rhubarb's gonna hit your supermarket and you're going to want to have my rhubarb butter recipe...

French apple galette

Hey friends❣️ How about a day trip to France? Rustic French Dessert Recipes If the mere mention of French desserts conjures up the 3 β€œFs” ~ FUSSY, FANCY, and FINICKY, think again. Unlike the intricate pastries in elegant patisseries, my homemade treats focus on taste over perfection. Like my apple galette, above, where caramelized apples and buttery pastry come together in a perfectly imperfect way. These desserts invite you to roll up your sleeves and enjoy the process, imperfections and...
