I love entertaining with breakfast casseroles. You assemble them the night before, stick them in the fridge, and then the day-of, all you have to do is bake them! This allows you to actually spend time with your guests instead of preparing food! You can prepare it the same day you want to bake and […]
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 am so excited to share this recipe with you I don’t even know where to start! There are so many things I love about this dessert. I’ll start with the obvious, it is delicious! I recently made it for some family members we were having over for lunch, and everyone raved about it! Second, it is […]
So, I haven’t posted much since I’ve become a Mommy. I’m on summer break right now, so I can’t really complain about being too busy, but I am enjoying a lot of snuggles and smiles with my sweet little guy before I have to go back to work in four short weeks. I have cooked […]
I am notorious for trying out new recipes on guests. I know they say not to do that, and it makes sense…what if it’s a total flop? But I just can’t help myself. So we were having some friends over for dinner a couple of weeks ago, and I was looking for a new idea […]
Are you still as full from Thanksgiving as I am? I mean, we had four Thanksgiving meals in three days. That’s gotta be some kind of record. I don’t imagine you want to read about some big meal right now, so I figured I’d post something that’s kind of healthy and light. This is a […]
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 […]
I wanted to make a smoothie the other day, but I didn’t want to go to the store, so I headed into the kitchen to see what I had on hand. I had a ripe banana in the freezer (for just such an occasion), some strawberries, and some yogurt. Perfect! I knew I’d need something […]
I’ve been working at the granola bars again. This time, I went an entirely different route. The last three times I made them (until I got them right), I went the peanut butter, nut, chocolate route. And they were crispy and crunchy. And delicious. But as good as those were, I was itching to try […]
