• Lemon Blueberry Muffins

    January 31, 2024

    With the perfect combination of tart and sweet, these Lemon Blueberry Muffins are the perfect thing to make when you’re craving something sweet but not too sweet. If you ask my kids what their favorite thing to make in the kitchen together, the answer would hands down be muffins. And if you asked them what their favorite muffins to make are, they would shout very confidently, LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFINS. The Big Kid is absolutely obsessed with all things lemon. (Lemon chicken, lemon crinkle cookies, lemon blueberry scones, green tea lemonade…) The Little Kid pretty much loves whatever her sister loves…

    January 24, 2024

    These easy homemade chocolate covered peanut butter protein bites are made with 5 simple ingredients and taste absolutely decadent. // I’ve been on the hunt for easy (and somewhat healthy) snacks as of late, needing quick little pick-me-up’s to get me through the day. Most days, I’ll reach for cut veggies like bell peppers or pop in a few cherry tomatoes whenever I walk by the bowl on my counter.

    Green Tea Lemonade is the quintessential summer drink. It’s pleasantly sweet, seriously refreshing, and has a kick of caffeine to get you through the day! Hello warmer weather and hello green tea lemonade, my new favorite drink. It’s pleasantly sweet, seriously refreshing, and has a fun little kick of caffeine to boot. I can see myself drinking this — and every variation I can think of — all summer long. Last weekend we drove to Cincinnati to visit family and celebrate my oldest nephew graduating from high school. Of course, finding places to stop along the way is generally difficult…

  • Chocamole (AKA Chocolate Avocado Pudding)

    December 30, 2022

    Chocamole, otherwise known as chocolate avocado pudding, is the creamiest, dreamiest, richest, most decadent chocolate pudding there is. And it’s 100% dairy-free. I have a confession to make: I hate avocados. As in, you couldn’t pay me to eat them on toast, mashed up into guacamole, or any other way that people who like avocados would. I do, however, like them mixed up with some cocoa powder, maple syrup, a splash of almond milk, vanilla extract, and peanut butter. You read that right. I like my avocados with chocolate. And I’ve been eating it that way FOR YEARS. It’s seriously…

  • Cookie Bread Pudding

    November 25, 2022

    Looking for a way to use up stale or dried out and overcooked cookies? Cookie bread pudding is the answer to it all. Sometimes I leave cookies out on purpose just so I can make a batch.  Every now and then I have a batch of cookies that doesn’t quite turn out — they get overcooked or turn out super crumbly. On even rarer occasions, I’ll have too many cookies that can’t be eaten in time before going stale. The good news is, it doesn’t matter. Because cookie bread pudding is seriously the best thing since, well, the cookie.  I discovered this concept…
