I’m a firm believer in PUMPKIN ALL THE TIME, but even more so a believer in pumpkin flavored things all of September, October, and November. Give me pumpkin spice in my coffee for 2 months straight before I hit up the peppermint mocha creamer. I await pumpkin pie with bated breath every year, so don’t…

Morning Glory Muffins
What do you immediately think of when I say “healthier muffin?” Is it something like a bran/fiber muffin, tasting much like cardboard, with a dense and dry texture? Yeah. Me too. So I’m here today to scratch that from your brain and give you a whole new outlook on a “healthier muffin” that has tons…
Homemade Magic Shell
Sorry, east coasters (and anyone else experiencing winter’s essential return). I brought the cold spring weather by planning this recipe weeks in advance thinking that the first week of May would be warm and sunny and we’d be licking cones of ice cream ahead of the melting. Like, seriously, where did the warmth go, people?!…
Chai Spiced Granola
It’s that time again! Time for cinnamon and nutmeg and cardamom and PUMPKIN and all the best flavors that fall has to offer. Essentially, it’s the beginning of the most wonderful time of the year. So let’s kick it off with none other than a warm, toasty, spicy snack that will have you reaching into…

Then I can finish an entire batch faster than you can find enough things to put it in/on (umm, your hand, obvious choice). This batch didn’t stand a chance in our house, especially considering one of us is pregnant and the other…

Apple Quinoa Granola
I have fallen head-over-heels in love with homemade granola. It all started last year when I made soft-baked carrot cake granola, and then I remembered how much I loved it when I made my Almond Joy variety this summer. I’ve been going back and forth between those two and just plain, fairly boring granola over…
Toasted Coconut Curry Peanuts
Do you ever make a snack or a treat that you find yourself taste testing until it’s gone? I’m not talking taking some and walking away with it or putting it in a bowl and sitting down to eat it… I’m talking standing over the container or tray you made it in and just gobbling…
