Cornbread is one of those things that you think should be better the next day. Like banana bread or something similar. But for some reason, even an easy cornbread recipe is tender and delicious on day one, but the next day, it’s just dry and crumbly. So then you’re forced to eat it all on [...]
I drink a cup of coffee every morning. Just one, but I could never give it up. Throughout the rest of the day, I drink tea, usually just boring herbal tea. Occasionally, though, I’ll make something fancy, like this earl grey lavender latte. I don’t use tea bags very often and haven’t since I’ve discovered [...]
Garlic bread is something a lot of people don’t need a recipe for. Either because they just buy the frozen kind, or sprinkle some garlic salt on toast. I’m not judging — I’ve never had garlic bread that I didn’t like. But, there’s garlic flavored bread, and then there’s the kind made with actual garlic. It [...]
I work best in the early morning, and by the afternoon, I’m usually ready for a nap. When a nap is not in order, a healthy and energizing snack will usually do the trick. Like these easy to make carrot cake energy bites. I have lots of different snack foods available for this purpose, some [...]
I don’t seek out gluten-free cookies, but I do seek out easy and healthy cookie recipes, which is what this recipe is. Not only is it among the easiest recipes, it’s also seriously good. If you’re looking for the perfect Paleo cookie recipe, this is it. To be honest, I wasn’t sure I would like [...]
Okay, so I haven’t eaten bacon in years. It was never a favorite of mine anyway, but once in awhile I think about how bacon can add a lot of salty, smokiness to things like salads or sandwiches. So when the mood strikes, I make coconut bacon, which in my opinion tastes like bacon. It [...]
I love sour cherries, but they are hard to find. A couple weeks ago I went to Northern Michigan with my family, and was lucky enough to pick up a few quarts at a farmer’s market. I froze them, and immediately started dreaming up ways to use them all. My first thought was jam. [...]
When I was a kid, my favorite cake was the rainbow chip kind. It was just sprinkles in the boxed cake mix, but I loved it. I know now that it’s all the same, and that you can’t really taste the sprinkles that are baked in the cake (although, full disclosure: I don’t know when [...]
Last week, my husband opened up the cabinet we use as a pantry, looking for something. Nuts, pasta, crackers. It’s impossible to know. Especially considering I have everything under the sun in that cabinet shoved however it will fit. I guess some people might say I’m a bit disorganized. So out come several [...]
A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon this recipe. Apricot. Pie. I’ve made all sorts of pies in my time. Apple, peach, pumpkin, cherry, but never apricot. Which is odd because I LOVE apricots. A few days later, I was in Whole Foods and saw a bag of apricots and bought [...]
Here's all the social media sites people tell me I need to be on. You can (kinda) find me on these. The only one guaranteed to get you a quick response is email, so try that first.
