I realize that there is not a dearth of scone or biscuit recipes on this site, the internet, or cookbook shelves at large — they’re easy to make, and the good ones are, to me, a revelat…

Sweet Harmony @ home:
While not delivering baked goods anymore from my kitchen to yours, I am always sourcing and baking great recipes. I will be posting sharing them here and on my website for you to try in your own kitchen.

Just happened to make my favorite Banana Bread recipe yesterday to use up bananas after returning home from vacation.
Cream:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
Add and blend in:
2 unbeaten eggs
1 cup mashed bananas
1/2 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
Combine and add to wet ingredients:
2 cups King Arthur Flour all-purpose flour
1 ts. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Butter and parchment paper 9" loaf pan and or use parchment liners in a muffin tin. Bake @ 350* for 45 min. if using loaf pan, 25 min. if making muffins. Check for doneness by tapping tops of muffins/bread - bread should just spring back when done. Enjoyed best warm with Kerrygold salted butter!

Brilliantly simple and "peachy keen" - Perelman: smitten kitchen is still a go to for me. This basic indulgence looks sure to please. I might even venture to pop the peaches on the summer grill in a cast iron skillet for an added touch of smoky flavor infusion. Enjoy!

I hope, if we are going to continue to be good friends, that we can have an implicit understanding that there is no such thing as too many peach recipes. Not in July, not in August, not in New York…

Using all of that rhubarb from your garden is easy with simple yet delicious recipes like this from Simply So Good from simplysogood.com

Rhubarb just brings out the best in Strawberries, especially when baked in a buttery tender pie crust. The simple free form crust creates a wonderful Rustic Strawberry Rhubarb Tart.

Decadent and bold. Thank you Bonappetit

As if this chocolate layer mocha cake wasn't enough, it's made with strong coffee and mascarpone cheese. You have been warned.
