Lemon-Blueberry Muffins

Summer is drawing to an end and with that, the end of fresh blueberries. To pay respects to such a nutritious and high in anti-oxidant fruit, I decided to make Lemon-Blueberry Muffins from the America Test Kitchen cookbook.

Coconut Pound Cake

Summer is here and seeing all the fresh coconuts that are sold on the streets puts me in the mood for a coconut-featured pastry. I opened up my trusty America's Test Kitchen cookbook and found their Coconut Pound Cake recipe.

I've doubled the recipe because it calls for 3/4 cup cream of coconut (note that it's not coconut milk) and rather than leaving the rest in the fridge to dubious means, why not finish it all in one bake? The below recipe has been altered to utilize the full can of cream of coconut and it makes a bundt and loaf pan, which means more to share!

I Cheated...

Following the post of My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies, I cheated on Betty Crocker with a chocolate chip cookie recipe from America's Test Kitchen. Their recipe is called the Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie and obviously, their challenge is to be thick and chewy, which can be a tough one to beat.

Day 2 of Hurricane Irene! What better way to celebrate this perilous day that's full of fraught tension than Chocolate Chip Cookies?
