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 […]
These. Are. Delicious. Sinfully delicious. And rich. And decadent. I first made these at Thanksgiving with my Mother in Law, but I didn’t have my camera so I didn’t blog it then. They were so good though – Tim’s sister even said it was the best thing she ever ate – that I knew I’d […]
I can’t believe I’ve posted 99 recipes on this blog already! I mean, I guess it has been almost a year, but that’s a lot of posts. That’s kind of exciting! It’s very timely that coinciding with my 100th blog post is the completion of our kitchen remodel. Well, okay, it’s been completed for over […]
Once it starts to turn cool and fall makes its appearance, pumpkin begins calling to me. For about three or four years now, I have been making these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies that, for me, are synonymous with the beginning of fall. They are so soft and cakey, a little cinnamonny, and of course there’s […]
I think I’m kind of obsessed with this granola bar thing. There are so many different ways to make them – I just can’t help myself! This time I went back to the old standby of peanut butter and chocolate chips, but I also used coconut oil and added coconut. Try to contain your excitement. […]

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 […]
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 […]
Here I go again with the peanut butter and chocolate. Recently, a friend pinned this recipe with a subtle suggestion that I should make these cupcakes, and I was pretty easily convinced. They just looked so good, and you know how I am with peanut butter and chocolate. The only thing was I wanted there […]
I saw this recipe on Pinterest a while back, and it just looked so delicious. Sometimes I need to cook breakfast for a crowd, like when we have family in town, so I am always keeping an eye out for new breakfast recipes. You see a lot of breakfast casseroles that have eggs, meat, and […]
