Cookbook Catchall has posted the winners of the latest round of DMBLGIT. Another group of beautiful shots. The big winner this time is Helen of Tartelette fame. Congratulations to all the winners!

I have made countless recipes for banana bread through the years, but I have somehow never combined that idea with peanut butter. Gena’s bread looks beyond delicious. This is one recipe that definitely going on my incredibly long “to bake” list.

I certainly have a weakness for chocolate, so it’s no surprise I was intrigued by this mousse recipe. Of course, it’s a bit more interesting than normal because of the addition of spices - cinnamon and anise. And, as usual, Anita’s photos are just beautiful.

I’m afraid I could get myself in trouble with this. These scones from Patricia’s blog are packed with three kinds of cheese. Great for accompanying a meal or as an appetizer.

I must remember this one for the next family gathering. We are all (except one) suckers for chocolate and peanut butter. This cake from Cafe Johnsonia looks wonderful!

When I was a child, chess pie was my favorite dessert. Seeing Laura’s Easter chess pie brought back fond memories and made me realize that I haven’t eaten chess pie in years. I must remedy that!

I have a long-standing love of pecans, so it’s no surprise that Patricia’s cookies immediately caught my eye. The addition of cinnamon to these giant cookies is a nice variation.

Hot cross buns are traditionally made for Good Friday. With dried fruit and plenty of spice, these from butter sugar flour look simply delicious! Happy Easter!

Chocolate and coconut is always a winning combination in my baking book. These muffins combine the two with the flavor of almond to make an intriguing breakfast treat.

I don’t get many opportunities to bake with coconut because Quinn doesn’t like it at all. So, I mostly choose to enjoy coconut desserts vicariously. Megan’s Chocolate Macaroon Bars definitely satisfy my virtual sweet tooth.
