Well, now that Lane is officially done with her Whole30, I can post this recipe without too much co-blogger guilt, right? While I didn’t do the Whole30 with her, I did actually enjoy keeping the blog focus a little on the healthier side. I’m definitely someone who tries to keep my diet 80/20 – meaning that eighty percent of the time, I try to make good choices. The other twenty percent? I eat what I want. It’s been a good balance for me and helps me to enjoy treats while overall maintaining a healthy life. Now, when it comes to these new Apple Cinnamon Crescent Rolls with Dulce de Leche, well, these fall clearly into the twenty percent! These are simple, sweet treats that are neither healthy nor Whole30 compliant but they are 100 percent delicious and worth every calorie. Read on the for the recipe.

White Chocolate Cranberry Scones
It’s holiday crunch time and I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling a little bit of the pressure. One of my favorite things to do during these busy times is to use make ahead or easy prep recipes to decrease my workload on big cooking days, like Christmas! I love to have a special breakfast treat for Christmas morning, but I don’t love the idea of being stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is opening gifts or sitting by the fireplace. These White Chocolate Cranberry Scones are the perfect thing for holiday entertaining. They are easy, cake-like and studded with bits of pear sugar, cranberries, and white chocolate and come together in less than 30 minutes. And the best part? They are easily prepped ahead and baked from frozen so you can check off one more thing on your holiday list ahead of time.

Apple Walnut Granola
My husband eats a bowl of yogurt with granola every single morning. After years of watching him pour bowls of sugar laden, processed granola that tasted kind of like cardboard, I decided to take things into my own hands and make my own. One of the great things about granola is how versatile it is. I’ve made a tropical granola with dried fruit and macadamia nuts and a granola with maple, cranberry, and crunchy quinoa. This Apple Walnut Granola is my ode to fall.

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
Has anyone else had a bumper crop of zucchini this summer? My tiny backyard garden has been producing zucchini which are the size of clubs. I’ve shredded and frozen more zucchini this summer than I’ve seen in my life. And of course as I’ve been shredding my zucchini, I’ve had to make my Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread. Strangely, even though this quick bread really can’t be qualified as “healthy”, in my book it is because…well, ZUCCHINI!

Lemon Cardamom Skillet Monkey Bread
Is there anyone out there who doesn’t love monkey bread? I mean, there is just something so dang good about about it. It’s a gooey, sugary, buttery carbohydrate filled brunch classic that I love to make and love to eat. Growing up, my mom often made it in a simple bundt pan, coating each piece of biscuit dough with plenty of butter, sugar, and cinnamon so that when it came out of the oven, it was like mini-cinnamon roll heaven. A few years ago, I started making it in my cast iron skillet. I loved the cripsy edges it created and really loved the easy clean up and presentation of the skillet. Recently, I decided to change up the bread itself and this Lemon Cardamom Skillet Monkey Bread was born.

Quick Glazed Orange Bread
Quick Glazed Orange Bread is the treat you’ve been looking for! I made it again for my kids this weekend and then decided you might all want to make it as a treat for your kids. Or your significant other. Or make it for yourself. (what a gift!)
But if you’re making it for yourself, you may want to have someone else hide half of it where you can’t find it so you don’t eat all of it in one sitting. Or do eat all of it in one sitting. Trust me, we won’t judge.
After all, after you taste it, we know you’ll want to.

Apple Zucchini Toddler Muffins
One of the things I find most challenging as a mama is finding healthy things to make that my kids will eat and I feel good about feeding them…and that don’t take eight hours to make and are filled with exotic ingredients that are hard to find and cost an arm and a leg. Nowhere is this challenge more evident for me than in packing lunch for my kiddos for preschool/daycare. Our school is wonderful and does have a school lunch option but for a myriad of reasons, we’ve always packed lunch for them. One of my favorite little things to include are these Apple Zucchini Toddler Muffins. Adapted from a recipe by Super Healthy Kids, these tiny muffins pack a pretty good nutritional punch and they are super easy to make. Win! …
