peanut butter bundt // dark chocolate frosted + Leibster!

 

peanut butter & chocolate, is there any better combination?

everything about this cake i love- the pure peanut butter cake, dark cocoa frosting and the chopped peanuts

I'm telling you, this is a cake you will want to eat for breakfast, lunch & dinner.

a cake that is perfect for an after school snack, a potluck or your next book club get together

my book club peeps were quite lucky last week - i made them this cake. 2 days later i made another one, that is how incredibly tasty this cake is; totally worthy of baking twice in one week!

blood orange pistachio polenta cake // the liebster!

i am in love

that weightless, nothing in the world matters feeling

with winter citrus

it's the color i so desperately need this time of year

in between winter & spring where everything is gray

its like the scene in mars needs moms - where everything is bleak

and then you have this incredible burst of color

blood oranges are beautiful

cara cara oranges are quite nice too

my entire house is studded with bowls of winter citrus

i can't get enough of it

blood oranges make a beautiful showing in this cake

the perfect pick me up for anyone with the winter blues

Liebster Award ~ fra-gee-lay "its a major award!"

I was so excited and surprised that Fern from To Food with Love nominated me for the Liebster Blog Award; super excited (thanks Fern!). This award is simply a way of giving recognition to newer blogs or those that have fewer than 200 followers, which is an absolutely fantastic idea. The recipient of the award then has to select five other such blogs to pass the award on to.

To accept the Liebster Blog Award nomination one must:

~ thank your Liebster Blog Award presenter on your blog.

~ link back to the blogger who awarded you.

~ copy & paste the blog award on your blog

~ reveal your 5 blog picks.

~ let them know you choose them by leaving a comment on their blog.

Drum roll please....honestly I cannot drum roll to save my life, it is one of those life skills I apparently was not blessed with.
