This might be a record-breaking week here on Brown Eyed Baker. First Quiche Lorraine Pizza, and now corn and pepper muffins. Two savory recipes in one week… it’s shocking even to me! Don’t worry, tomorrow is all geared up to be a sweet sensation (and perfect for summer), so stay tuned. Now, onto these muffins. [...]

Perfect pizza for breakfast. Or brunch. Or lunch. Or dinner. Or “it’s-3am-I-just-got-in-and-need-to-eat”. I do a lot of talking about my undying love for the sweet combination of peanut butter and chocolate. In my savory world, the combination of bacon and cheese is held in much the same regard. They were made for each other and [...]

I have become a strawberry ice cream convert in my adulthood. When I was a kid, I didn’t want to be anywhere near the stuff. I’ve always adored strawberries, but for some reason strawberry ice cream couldn’t have been more vile to me. The worst possible thing was when I would be at someone else’s [...]

When I was a kid, my parents kept our home relatively junk food- and sweets-free. We weren’t allowed to have the “cool” sugary cereals, no fruit rollups, no potato chips, no pop. You get the idea. So naturally, no Pop-Tarts. But all of these rules flew right out the window when we got to sleep [...]

No, I’m not going to bust out the photo albums and subject you to pictures of me as a baby. But I am going to take you for a little stroll down Brown Eyed Baker memory lane. I was inspired by Problogger’s recent 7 Links Challenge, which encouraged bloggers to create a post linking to [...]

They say there is a first time for everything. And these bars represent the very first time I have ever seen a recipe and made it in the same day. Sure, I have seen recipes before that I think are fabulous and I bookmark them, and maybe whip them up a few days later. But [...]

Any baked good that can double as both dessert and breakfast is one that I will hold near and dear to my heart. If I could send a Valentine to scones, I sure would. Not only are they perfectly acceptable to eat in the morning, afternoon and evening, but they require only one bowl, no [...]

Elvis would be so proud. Traditional banana splits include vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream and are topped with pineapple, strawberry and chocolate sauces, then garnished with crushed nuts, whipped cream and the all-important “cherry on top”. While it certainly sounds good, I have never been a fan. At all. I just never enjoyed the [...]
