In case you haven't noticed, tis the season for everything pumpkin. It's hard to ignore the beautiful fall weather and abundance of apples, squash, and pumpkins in the grocery stores. I absolutely love it. Like many of you, this is my favorite time of the year. And to celebrate it all, I have a very simple, very healthy way to incorporate a bit of pumpkin into your everyday eating (and to use up … [Read more...]
Homemade Larabars: Pistachio Cookie
You'll get 2 bars and a Jr. bar or ball!I have been working for years to create my own health food bar that I actually want to eat. It isn't a new concept to want a bar that focuses on only natural ingredients, but it is far too common to see "healthy" bars with endless lists of ingredients that are unpronounceable. Don't get me wrong, I do buy and eat some of those bars, but they leave me … [Read more...]
Blueberries and Cream Cold Oats
What's for breakfast? I am going to start talking about this a bit more often. I always try to prepare a good breakfast, and there's nothing I love more than the comfort and versatility of a bowl of oatmeal. To me, I look at oats as a plainly dressed Barbie doll and my pantry is filled with accessories to dress and jazz it up. I have an arsenal of oat recipes (hot, cold, steel cut, old fashioned, … [Read more...]
Iced Oatmeal Cookies
As you know, I can get really excited about tailgating on game days. My favorite part is the baking. I love sharing my goodies with others and watch how excited they get about being given something homemade and delicious.For this game, I wanted to theme my cookies for the occasion! Because there is absolutely nothing that a bunch of rowdy, drunk, tailgating men appreciate more than a themed … [Read more...]

Cherry Bran Muffins
When that cool breeze mixed with warm sunshine rolls in, fall flavors swim into my mind. I've been brainstorming lots of new recipes and have been having a bit of a love affair with my new Kitchenaid mixer lately. Not to go into great detail, but I've been so inspired and have been driven a lot lately to make sure my baking portfolio is perfect and business-ready (so some day in the next 5 years … [Read more...]
It’s All Greek To Me
I've been mostly doing small baking projects in the kitchen, which I haven't felt a need to share. Lately though, I've been changing up my everyday eating habits, which has greatly affected my cooking. Basically, I'm on protein-overdrive. For this reason, my post today is about...drumroll please...Greek Yogurt!!I've always loved Greek yogurt, but because it can get pricy, I would only buy a few … [Read more...]
Sprinkles Please
I love when I go on vacation and I spot a bakery that I just have to go in (for research purposes, of course...cough, cough). When we were moving my younger bro into his dorm in Chicago and exploring the city, something caught my eye: Sprinkles Cupcakes! I always jump at the opportunity to try an institution.I ordered the "Black and White" cupcake which is a dark Belgian chocolate cake with a … [Read more...]
It’s My Birthday!
Yesterday was the best day of the year: my birthday! Can you believe it's been a whole year since my ice cream maker joined the family? Well, yet another appliance has joined the gang, and this one is the mother-load! A KITCHENAID MIXER!!! Finally! Can you believe I've come this far without one?!This year for my birthday, I didn't ask for anything. I've gotten to that point where all I want is to … [Read more...]
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Well, in case you've been down in Fraggle Rock lately and haven't noticed, it's hot out there! I mean burning hot! My plan to make ice cream today has actually been my plan for weeks now, so I'm so glad that the hot weather finally made me get back into the kitchen. I had a hectic morning...going to the gym, running to the store, quickly making the ice cream base to get it into the fridge, washing … [Read more...]
