Once December hits, I am all about Christmas cookies and candy ALL THE TIME. I saw a picture of “rocky road” and assumed it was a kind of fudge. Much to my delight – this is simply a super jazzed up chocolate bar. I am *obsessed* with Tony’s Chocolonely, (which is one of the few … More The Easiest Holiday Rocky Road
If you’re like me, when you have a specific craving (i.e. for a brownie), you want it now, and you want enough to satisfy your craving but not too much that you’re inundated with 100 leftovers. This recipe is perfection for this scenario! It makes 4 good-sized brownies and legitimately takes 20-25 minutes from start … More Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies (Small Batch)
I feel like I’m the last person in the world to try the pumpkin muffins at Starbucks. I’m more of a savory breakfast person as it is, so it’s super rare that I’m going to go for something in the bakery case. The first chilly weekend here in Maine came upon us though, and I … More Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins – Healthier Starbucks Copycat
You can really never have too many biscuit recipes – and this one has to make it into your rotation! I always get a lot of scallions when I buy groceries. I love that they add a little freshness and crisp onion flavor to pretty much any meal I make. Whether I’m making Asian, Mexican, … More Sour Cream & Onion Biscuits
I have no long-winded preamble about why these cookies came to be. We had some peanut butter m&ms and I want to put them in peanut butter cookies. I added in some oats, and some chocolate and pb chips… voila! These are SO GOOD! They’re super quick to make (only a 30 minute rest in … More Chocolate Peanut Butter Monster Cookies
Since moving to Maine late last year, we didn’t really know what to expect in terms of what our yard would be like. We have over 3 acres of land, with a lot of it being wooded, and we’ve had lots of fun exploring so far. Baxter is living the dream too! 😊 One of … More Easy Blackberry Syrup
Despite it being 85 degrees outside, I’m still baking 🤷🏼♀️. These blondies are so easy to make, only require 7 ingredients, use one bowl, and are done in just about 25 minutes. If you’re making them vegan, check your chocolate chips to be sure they don’t contain milk. Toll House chips are NOT vegan (all … More Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Blondies
Cook your rice noodles (or rice or other pasta) according to package instructions. Whisk together the sauce ingredients, using a couple tablespoons of warm water to thin slightly. In a large pan, add your oil along with the ginger and garlic and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Be careful not to burn. Add … More Easy Peanut Noodles
If I was to invite you over, you can be positive I’m going to try and serve you this margarita. Even if you’re “not a tequila person” (wuttt), I’m really going to push this on you. After visiting Hawaii and having a Lilikoi (passion fruit) cocktail, I searched high and low for that same tart … More Passion Fruit Margaritas
Sometimes it can be difficult to find recipes that don’t make a whole ton of something. With cookies, I often end up freezing half the dough (like here), but with something like muffins that’s not really an option. Luckily, the recipe this is based from had 2 eggs, so I was easily able to divide … More Small Batch Corn Muffins
With all the social distancing and working from home, its the perfect chance to spend some more time in the kitchen! These scones seriously could not be easier, and you really can use any add-ins you have in the freezer or fridge. I had frozen blueberries, so I went for those… but any berry or … More Pantry Blueberry Scones (Easy & Adaptable!)
In a shock to no one, I’ve found it extremely hard to get out of my holiday eating routines. Obviously each meal should have a dessert! And a bag of chips before bed…wonderful! HA So I’m making every attempt to find creative and fun (lol) ways to bulk up my veggie intake. Trader Joe’s had … More Sugar Snap Pea Salad
I’ve always been a savory breakfast person, and the recipes I make definitely reflect that! However, when I have a hankering for something sweet (but want to exert little effort as possible), I will reach for cinnamon cereal. This is the only cereal I buy, and usually after a bowl or two I’m satisfied for … More Cinnamon Square Marshmallow Treats
During the hot summer months, almost every night of the week, Andrew and I will sit on the patio outside and grill anything and everything in our fridge. Recently, we had some corn on the cob and instead of just grilling it and eating off the cob, I decided to whip up a salad using … More Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad
I don’t know about you guys, but my weekday lunches are typically whatever sad leftovers remain from the previous night’s dinner. Every once in awhile though, I make something for dinner that I’m pumped to have the next day for lunch. This easy Greek lentil salad is one of those things. In fact, it actually … More Greek Lentil Salad
