So, I made myself and early birthday cake. My birthday isn’t for a couple weeks, but I needed an excuse to create this recipe I have had swirling around in my brain lately. I have so much to say about this cake! Lets break it down, piece by piece. First of all, it has…
Breakfast
Pumpkin Bread French Toast
The other day, my husband and I were looking for a place to go out to eat. We are really indecisive about restaurants. I think we had already spent 30 minutes looking through online menus. I don’t remember where we went or what we got (must not have been that great), but I remember seeing…
Pink Applesauce (Small Batch)
A few days ago I went apple picking with my husband and daughter and it was magical. We ate straight from the tree until we were sick and went home with a big bag of the most beautiful, delicious Suncrisp apples. They are the best apples I have ever eaten. We decided right away that…
Best Ever Breakfast Bowl with Homemade Granola, Greek Yogurt, Fresh Berries, and Pistachio Brittle (Inspired by North Star Café)
How would you like to wake up to this? It’s a bowl full of pure joy. In August I went to paradise. When I say paradise, you are probably thinking of somewhere in Hawaii or the Caribbean, but I am talking about the little town of Houghton, Michigan (in the summer). It’s a tiny town…
Mango, Coconut, Banana Muffins with Toasted Coconut Streusel
I love baking, but I don’t get to bake nearly as much as I want to. The majority of my time in the kitchen is spent trying to make healthy dinners or lunches. I don’t mind it, but often when I am sautéing onions or chopping veggies, I’m secretly wishing that I was making cinnamon…
My Adventures in Juicing
Since my last post I did something I never thought I would do…I bought a juicer. My husband and I put together all of our Amazon gift cards that we got for Christmas and made the plunge. We were pretty excited to see this beauty on our doorstep (The box, not the baby. Although, she…
Pumpkin Muffins with Toasted Pecan Streusel
I am totally obsessed with the new show called Master Chef Junior. I just can’t get enough of it. I love cooking competition shows, but I usually can’t handle Gordon Ramsey because he is so loud and mean. However, he turns into a marshmallow when hosting a show where the stars are ages 8-13….
National Breakfast Month: Breakfast Quesadilla
I have one more quick breakfast recipe for you for National Breakfast Month. I just made this up this morning and I loved it! It’s pretty simple and you can mix it up any which way you want. It can be as healthy or as decadent as you want. I call it a breakfast quesadilla,…
Tropical Green Smoothie
I love Saturdays! Its Tuesday now. Blah. Today my house is a mess and my daughter is teething, but last Saturday was spectacular. What a great day! Do you ever have just an truly relaxing, happy day and you just want to bottle it up so you can open in up, like a scent, any…
National Breakfast Month: Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal (No Added Sugar!)
Funny story. I keep the oats on top of my fridge. You know, in that card board-ish cylinder container with a plastic lid. I reached up to pull them down to make this oatmeal recipe. I was completely shocked to get a face full of oats. I had my glasses on, so I didn’t get…
