Everyday Food for Busy People
This is a guest post from Dawn Farias. In my house we are boring toast eaters for breakfast, but I’d serve this for a quick dinner or lunch any day! And if you do fix breakfast, this speedy and filling sandwich will make you happy.
This is my sister’s absolute favorite birthday cake. The moist, yellow cake is marbled with sweet, cinnamon swirl.

All that chocolate ganache. All that delicious cannoli filling stuffed in a chocolate chip muffin.
{Did she just say chocolate chip muffin?}
Yep! That’s right! This muffin has officially crossed the line into dessert.
I’ve been wanting to try this since I first made Chocolate Chip Muffins. The idea comes from The Cake Mix Doctor cookbook. I absolutely love that book. Anne Byrn has a recipe in there for Cannoli Cake that is divine.
I have to say though, my family agreed that the baby cakes version is better. The muffins are not as tender and sweet as the cake. And muffins have a bit of a crust that holds up to the thick, creamy filling better than the cake does. [Read more…] about Baby Cannoli Cakes
A neighbor gifted me with a giant zucchini the other day. My first inclination was to make zucchini bread, but then I ran across this recipe in one of my Amish cookbooks.

The only change I made to the recipe was to bake it in a jelly roll pan instead of a 9×13 size. I would also like to say that I did shred the carrots and zucchini the way the Amish would. I don’t have a food processor, but I want one. I want much.
