If you are a Banana Bread Fan – than these Banana Bread Donuts may be the ones for you! These donuts are not “baked donuts that taste like fried” but instead are a delicious moist and dense banana bread baked up into the shape of …
S’mores bars are out of this world! One of my top posts here on Teacher-Chef are S’mores Bar Cookies, and I still get requests from friends and family for either the recipe or to bring them places (or both!). In honor of Memorial Day (and …
When I think of a Pina Colada – visions of sun-filled beaches, long/warm summer days, feet kicked up with a good book, a nice breeze, and lots of happy memories all come to mind.

Once again though, trust me – it is way easier than it appears! Whip those whites, add the sugar & pipe (or plop) onto a baking sheet.
Now that we have everyone’s fears (mine included) out of the way – lets admire these beauties again…
