Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowls

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowls

My life is so beautifully chaotic right now. So much joy and so much mess. Typing blog posts with a wee one snuggling on my belly while white noise blasts. Scarfing down one of these Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowls and then frantically trying to shower before the baby starts screaming again. Listening to audio books at three in the morning while feeding the little snuggle bug. Playing ...

Easy Weeknight Huevos Rancheros

This easy weeknight Huevos Rancheros dish that I am sharing with you today isn't really a recipe, more of an idea. It's so easy and quick that it's more just a pile of ingredients.

Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter

Whipped Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter

I usually like to balance things out on this blog. Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter right after Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars with plans for cookies in the near future is not balance. When I post something sweet and unhealthy, I try to put up a post or two with something somewhat healthy. And let me tell you, I am struggling. You guys, I have tried so hard to come up with a great healthy main dish post. ...

Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars

Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars

These Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars were inspired by a late night treat making episode with my sister. She was staying with me for a few days and  we were doing what we do best: binge watching Gilmore Girls and putting together a puzzle from the thrift store.
