I saw a recipe on Pinterest not too long ago for Spinach Banana Muffins. I pinned it immediately because I’m always looking for a way to sneak veggies into our two year old, Wes (pureed butternut squash in macaroni and cheese, zucchini in spaghetti sauce, spinach on pizza, carrots and broccoli in his Indian food […]
I was at the Farmer’s Market the other day pining over all of the beautiful produce, and admiring the increasing variety of other products sold there – lotions, soaps, plants, cheeses, etc. I came up to a stand of baked goods that looked good enough to make your mouth water, and I very nearly bought […]
I’m forever on the hunt for healthy things my toddler will eat. Whenever possible, I like to make things at home as opposed to buying them so I can control the quality of ingredients. The less additives, the better! Breakfast seems to be the most challenging meal for me be creative with. I’m a working […]
The pumpkin craze strikes again, this time in the form of lactation bars. I make lactation granola bars regularly and switch up the flavors with ingredients like various dried fruits, coconut flakes (toasted or untoasted), bananas, etc. I thought it would be yummy to try a variation with pumpkin to switch things up a little.

No, really. That’s the name of these cookies – HolyCrapTheseAreAmazing Cookies. Well, I think actually the original name was Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies. But truly, holy crap, they are amazing.

They are so soft and cakey, a little cinnamonny, and of course there’s […]
Hi, my name is Cara, and I am addicted to peanut butter. I’m not ashamed of it. I own it. If you leave it to me, all baked goods will have peanut butter in them. And chocolate. And sometimes banana. So anyway, cookies. These are a really delicious balance of sweet and salty, with the […]
These muffins are amazing. In fact, they are so delicious, I think you could almost call them cupcakes. I know muffins are for breakfast, but I have no shame in admitting I’ve eaten them for dessert. The bananas and chocolate go so well together and the cinnamon and nutmeg add a bit of warmth. My […]
When I’m looking for a healthy recipe, one of the first places I usually look is at Ellie Krieger’s recipes. I needed to make some muffins last week, and of course, I wanted them to be healthy. I found this recipe and gave it a try. The muffins turned out very delicious and the apple […]
Remember when I made the low fat brownie bites with strawberries for Valentine’s Day? I’ve actually made that brownie recipe many times – with peanut butter, with chocolate chips, with nuts… It’s my favorite go-to, easy, chocolate but not terrible for you sweet. For St. Patrick’s Day, I made them with mint icing, obviously because […]
