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…

Banana Nut Muffins
It’s APRIL! The best month! Not just because it happens to be my married last name, but because we’re finally past those first awful months of the year, spring has sprung, FAF celebrates a birthday (only 9 days away– stay tuned for a special post and giveaway that day!), and summer is so close, we…
Honey Walnut Cookie Sticks (Sfratti)
You made it! We made it! Everyone made it through 12 days of Christmas Cookies! How did we do? Did you make any of them? All of them? Is your cookie jar full of fresh cookies or just crumbs from pure enjoyment? How much butter did you go through in the past 4 weeks? Oy…

Thankfully, the world of technology allows me to put…
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
It’s that time of year that I start wanting warm, cinnamon-y breakfast. Maybe it’s because the weather is chilly and cozy, but it probably has a lot to do with the fact that I am a vacation hoarder and have myself a nice 2 weeks off of work. I normally grab one of these in the morning, but…
Brownie Cookies
Sometimes when you try to replicate a recipe and have nothing to start with except your memory… You don’t end up with what you wanted. And other times, what you do end up with actually turns out to be a great result anyway. That’s what this recipe is: the end result of my first attempt…
