Pineapple Buns (Bolo Bao)

These pineapple buns are light, soft, and airy. They are a Hong Kong bakery tradition. 

 

Oddly enough, pineapple buns do not contain any pineapple! They get their name because of the sweet crust on top of the bun. 

Peanut Butter Ghost Cookies

 These peanut butter ghost cookies are homemade peanut butter sandwich cookies coated with a vanilla candy coating and accented with mini chocolate chips. 

This post and recipe were created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! A sponsor has provided a prize package but as always opinions are 100% mine.

These peanut butter ghost cookies are such a big hit with the kids. The combination of flavors is sweet and peanut-y, and the cookies will remind you of Nutter Butters.

This wild rice and onion bread is easy to make, and amazingly delicious. 

I had wanted to make this wild rice and onion bread for a long time. I love the look of the wild rice throughout the bread, and I am crazy about onions in just about anything savory.

Broccoli Pizza with Provolone, Mozzarella, and Pecorino Romano

This broccoli pizza is a wonderful way to get in a full serving of vegetables while enjoying a slice of pizza! 

The crust on this broccoli pizza is really thin and incredibly crisp, and the combination of the cheeses, a garlicky white sauce, and the roasted broccoli is wonderfully flavorful. 

Whole Wheat and Sunflower Seed Muffins

These whole wheat sunflower seed muffins are spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. They are sweetened with brown sugar and grated fresh apple. 

These may look like traditional whole wheat muffins, but with the grated apple, sour cream, and spiced batter, these muffins are anything but. They are a sweet addition to breakfast, a midmorning snack, or afternoon tea, and the addition of salty roasted sesame seeds adds a little bit of crunch.
