Blueberry Muffins

As I said, once I get stuck on a particular recipe for something, that's it. And really, after looking at the golden crust and juicy blueberries in this recipe for blueberry muffins, why try another? This recipe for blueberry muffins is so good that I only waited five months to share it, as opposed to my usual two years+. :P

Strawberry Banana Bread

All these bakeries posts reminded me that I had a few baked items in the queue. I don't do much baking and as you know, once I discover I like a baked good in a certain way, that's it. I might make variations here and there, but essentially it's the same recipe. And so it is that all sweet bread recipes are variations of my basic Banana Bread. I mean, I already know it'll produce moist, slightly sweet bread, so I'm hard-pressed to try something new?

I went a little overboard with the strawberries because I wanted the burst of pink to show in the photos, but that really made the bread too soggy. I halved it for the recipe because you really don't want to make my mistake. I held off on blogging this because I kept meaning to make it again and take nicer photos, but I'll never slog through my queue at that rate. These photos and this recipe have languished since April 2008.

Kiki Bakery - Monterey Park

Back in April, shortly after Kiki Bakery in Monterey Park had just opened, I stopped in with my third cousin who wanted some nice bread and rolls to take back with her to Orange County.

This location was pretty spacious, with a boba shop inside.
