I would say 98% of the time, if I’m going to have a cocktail, it’s going to have tequila in it. On a very rare occasion (or when I run out of tequila and don’t feel like going to the store), I’ll go for something with gin. I’ve shared a rare gin cocktail here before … More Slippery When Wet – Gin Cocktail
I’ve always considered peaches to be my favorite fruit, but unless they are absolutely perfectly ripe, they’re pretty much meh. Somehow I’ve never tried making a peach cobbler, but recently I came across the most DIVINE peaches, and after eating my weight in them, I knew I had to make something special with the last … More Mind-blowing Peach Cobbler
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)
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
I’m calling these breakfast bars. Originally it was simply to justify eating them standing at the counter at 8am, but now I’m passing this rite onto you. Use whatever jam you have, and double the amount of jam if you don’t have fresh fruit. Easy peasy! Aaand if you do make them and find yourself … More Fruit & Oat Breakfast Bars
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
Another day, another cookie. We’ve tackled a copycat, a frosted, and a ball… and today we dive into chocolate overload. These cookies are everything. They have a crinkly top, they’re crisp on the outside and gooey and soft in the center. They’re legitimate perfection. ((The overnight rest is not optional! So, you’re gonna want to … More Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
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
I’ve been trying to do my grocery shopping every 2 weeks, so my cart ends up being much fuller than usual. It also makes it easier to grab things I wouldn’t normally buy, since it feels like all the “rules” are out the window…and kind of like I’m on the show Supermarket Sweep lol. Anywho, … More Grocery Store Bakery Style Frosted Sugar Cookies
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
For pretty much every holiday, I’m craving something with peanut butter! See examples here, here, and here. I make my crispy peanut butter balls every year for cookie exchanges (and pretty much once a month just because 🤷🏼♀️). So I wanted to make an Easter version with white chocolate. These really could not be an … More No Bake Peanut Butter Balls (Perfect for Easter!)
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
