Double birthdays means double the birthday treats! Taste Tester and I celebrated our birthdays with Chocolate Opera Cake and Happy Face Peanut Butter Pancakes (see sketch after the break). Read on for the recipes!
Just a small note before you continue: some internet meanies have been tinkering with my site (jerks!). We are working on fixing […]

On our latest trip to Chicagoland, Taste Tester and I tried a few new chocolate peanut butter cupcakes in addition to our standby faves from Molly’s.
The Bleeding Heart Bakery started out on Chicago Ave just a few blocks from where Taste Tester and I lived in Chicago a few years ago. Not being vegan or […]

I’ve already raved about P.B.Loco’s Peanut Butter with Raspberry White Chocolate, but it’s now time to put the spotlight on it’s fellow spread, the Cocoa Banana.
Unfortunately I didn’t get to do anything fun with this peanut butter like bake cookies with it or drizzle it over ice cream - I was too busy eating it […]

I’m not sure this banana bread recipe quite deserves the title of ‘best ever’, but it’s real good and nice and moist. I used some pretty black bananas and replaced the pecans with raisins due to Taste Tester’s nut sensitivity. It wouldn’t be nice to poison him for breakfast… gotta at least wait til lunch […]

I have been a fan of Stonyfield Farm Yogurt for a long time. In fact, I’m pretty sure that I survived my college years on a habitual diet of Odwalla Bars, Peanut Butter & Co Peanut Butters, Pepperidge Farm Soft-Baked Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Stonyfield Farm Yogurt. So you can imagine my excitement when I […]

It’s been a little while since cupcakes have graced The CPB Gallery. It’s been a while for banana, too. But today is our lucky day - we’ve got both!
I bake from scratch most of the time, but every now and again I use a little help from the grocery. Who doesn’t? This recipe isn’t totally […]

The caption for this recipe states, “nobody skips breakfast when flaky crescent rolls hold layers of chocolate and banana filling.” They forgot to mention the peanut butter, but it’s okay - I’m too mesmerized by the deliciously sweet swirls in that pic to care too much.
I bet this would also be great served warm […]

The timing for our Atlanta cupcake tasting wasn’t very well scheduled. Lindsay and I spent the afternoon visiting a few cupcakeries all at once and stowed our collection away for a tasting later in the day. However, before the cupcake tasting, we had a pizza tasting to attend. We were lucky enough to be invited […]

Buying cookbooks (even though my shelf is completely packed full) is a vice of mine. I can’t help it. As long a book has an enticing name or a delicious looking photo on the cover (doesn’t that describe every cookbook?) I’m bound to at least investigate it.
When purchasing a cookbook from Amazon, I always […]

How adorable is this? It was made for a kid but as an adult I could eat it too, right? Right?!
This crazy cute sandwich was created as an entry for The Crafty Crow Funny Food Contest. Unfortunately the contest ended yesterday but I think it’s still worth checking the blog out for the voting process […]
