Fig Corn Muffins
This past week was a tough one. I haven’t posted since early in the morning on Marathon Monday, I haven’t been able to gather thoughts in an appropriate manner, and it wasn’t the time for fun new recipe posts anyway. For those of you also in the Boston area, I hope you made it through the week safe and sound, and that you are gradually getting back into the swing of things. I can definitely say it’s a relief to be returning to normal, though I wish we’d never had to endure that week and those horrific events in the first place. (more…)
Honey Lemon Lavender Cupcakes
While the weather outside certainly doesn’t show it, spring is just 2 days away! And with the arrival of spring comes a whole slew of new recipes. As each season comes and goes, I always get excited for the recipes that I’ll make, but spring recipes just might be my favorite.

Mocha Cheesecake Bars

Zucchini Bread with Chocolate and Walnuts
This month’s Secret Recipe Challenge totally threw me for a loop – I was assigned a blog written entirely in Danish! I’ve encountered plenty of different kinds of blogs throughout my time participating in the SRC, but never a blog in another language. My assigned blog New Yorker By Heart, written by Birthe, has dozens upon dozens of recipes – all kinds of recipes – really something for everyone, so I knew I’d be able to settle on something that I’d really enjoy. I was a bit overwhelmed at first because there was just SO much to choose from, but once I decided what kind of recipe I was looking for, I found something perfect in no time. (more…)
Chocolate Covered Bananas
How this month’s Secret Recipe Club recipe came to be was completely serendipitous. I named this blog Sweetly Serendipity because I absolutely love the word serendipity and what it means, but I’ve never really been able to utilize the word in every day conversation. I mean, can you think of the last time someone said “well that was serendipitous!”? I can’t. (more…)
