It’s the holiday season, and there’s no better time to make my way down my ever-growing “to try” list!! These Polar Bear Paws copycats (from See’s Candy) are absolute perfection! I don’t always love white chocolate, but when combined with salty peanuts and caramel they are truly a masterpiece to behold. I love that these … More Polar Bear Paws (See’s Candy style)
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
Years ago, if you’d ask me my favorite type of cookie, I’d probably have said something like chocolate chip or shortbread. However after baking and eating lots of cookies in the years since (especially during the pandemic), I’ve come to realize that I simply love a molasses cookie!!! Typically you only see them around the … More Chewy Molasses Ginger Crinkle Cookies
I clearly love chickpea stews and curries! Even in the heat of the summer, nothing is better than a comforting bowl of a soup, and even better when it’s garnished with creamy & crunchy toppings! This chickpea stew can be made in just about an hour (with most of that time being hands-off simmering time), … More Spiced Chickpea Coconut Stew
It’s not often something as simple as a zucchini bread really surprises me, but this one really knocked me off my feet! Deb @ Smitten Kitchen is known for reliable and well-tested recipes, and this zucchini bread is no different. The key here is to bake this off the night before you want to serve … More Perfect Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
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
I don’t have a ton of pasta recipes here, because frankly we just don’t eat it very often. The other day though, I had a super specific craving for spinach artichoke dip. I did some digging online to see how I could turn this into a respectable dinner (don’t get me wrong I’d certainly plow … More Spinach Artichoke Pasta
Summer has arrived! We’ve been loving 80 degree sunny days, but I haven’t been loving doing anything related to turning on the oven or stove. This recipe is sooo easy and besides soaking the chickpeas overnight, you’re under 30 minutes away from dinner (and most of that is hands off). Feel free to omit the … More Bacon & Tomato Chickpea Stew with Pesto (Instant Pot)
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
If you bake one thing during this pandemic / quarantine sitch, it has got to be these cookies. Last year, I shared a copycat of my all time favorite Levain cookie: the divine chocolate peanut butter. However, their original, which is a classic chocolate chip with walnuts, is a VERY close second. Stella Parks at … More Levain Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
Maybe it’s just a symptom of the times, but I’m typically not a potato-unless-it’s-a-french-fry-fan… and all the sudden I’ve been craving potatoes in all different ways! I remembered eating frozen cheese & potato pierogi as a kid and how buttery and comforting they were. I wanted to recreate them, but honestly didn’t feel like going … More Easy Pierogi Style Wontons
Welp. I usually try and mix things up over here so a back to back bread sitch isn’t exactly what I planned. Buuuut we had some old bananas and Andrew was jonesing for some banana bread… so here we are! If you know anything about CrossFit, one of the most well known athletes is Mat … More Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread
I’m not sure how in the world I don’t have this recipe on my site. I truly make a variety of this every week – it’s such a staple meal in my house. It’s so flavorful and easy, and I love that I can basically use whatever I have in the fridge and pantry. In … More Easy Thai Green Curry
I use my instant pot a few times a week, usually to make rice, shredded meat, or dried beans. This week I decided to go for a bit of a combo situation. This soup is probably one of the easiest recipes I’ve made in my instant pot. It’s also super healthy and filling! Let me … More Chicken, White Bean and Spinach Soup (Instant Pot)
