I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been doing a whole lot of comfort baking lately. There is something so soothing about an afternoon mixing, measuring, sifting, and baking. Thankfully, my husband and my kids are happy to oblige in the eating of all these yummy treats. My recent favorite baking obsession has been these Whole Wheat Apple Cinnamon Donuts.
In my quest to clean up my nutrition during this crazy COVID era, I’ve been focusing on trying to choose better snacks. Because let’s face it – this pandemic life calls for snacks. I’m pretty good at keeping my meals full of veggies and overall, pretty nutritious. My downfall tends to be the snacks. I’m a total sucker for salty, crunchy, savory snacks which unfortunately are often highly processed and not so healthy. These easy, gluten-free (and vegan!) Simple 4 Ingredient Easy Flax Seed Crackers are my favorite new snack. They are ready in under 30 minutes and the perfect way to get that savory, crunchy fix without a bunch of unnecessary, processed ingredients.
My kids LOVE fresh bread. And they can eat loaves and loaves of it if I let them. But bread baking is so tedious, right? WRONG. Turns out this simple Dutch Oven Bread is so stinking simple you could make it every day.
As my kids get older and juggling four schedules gets a little crazier, I’ve really come to appreciate the beauty of a grab and go breakfast. Having a healthy, low sugar option that tastes great and keeps me full all morning? That’s a healthy kitchen win. Our new recipe for Cranberry Orange Baked Oatmeal Cups will have your whole family starting the day right.
There is nothing like a homemade cinnamon roll. This is what I USED to believe. Until I started making these homemade Apple Cinnamon Rolls. Then I realized what true love was…
It’s pumpkin season, friends. This versatile little squash is probably best known for the eponymous seasonal latte and as a fall decoration, but I love to bake with it. From my Mother-in-law’s famous pumpkin bread to our pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin is a key ingredient in so many of my fall and winter recipes. This week I’m sharing our new recipe for Pumpkin Pecan Scones.
There’s something about the turn of the season that really makes me crave comfort foods for brunch. Or dessert. Or, really, just all the time (if I’m being honest). This Bailey’s Bread Pudding is the perfect make ahead comfort food for fall. Or winter. Or a random Saturday when you really need some carbs.
Our Bailey’s Bread Pudding is a one dish, dump it and forget it type of treat. It’s fantastic for a lighter dessert and also really great addition to brunch. I suggest topping it with fresh berries and some sweetened whipped cream (or try our Bailey’s whipped cream to really do it right!).
…We’ve definitely had muffins on the brain lately. And although we gave you a great gluten free blender muffin recipe last week, between the crazy amounts of zucchini in my garden and my need to have quick portable breakfasts and snacks, I knew I needed to give you these Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins as well. Not only are these muffins moist and super flavorful, they also freeze well! Read on for the recipe!

It’s the first day of school for my oldest little one today and while I may not be ready for summer to end just yet, I am definitely feeling prepared for those early mornings with these new Banana Oat Blender Muffins.

I’m gonna start with a little bit of truth telling: if you are here looking for a healthy recipe, you might want to keep on looking. This recipe is NOT vegan, low carb, keto, Whole30, or paleo. I’m not sure what the calorie count per delectable bite is (and frankly, I don’t want to know). What I do know, is that these Whiskey Sea Salt Caramels are about the tastiest thing I’ve had in a very long time and I recently had to give away most of my last test batch to keep from eating them all.
