Whiskey Sea Salt Caramels

April 30, 2019 By Holly Leave a Comment

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.

Double Chocolate Olive Oil Brownies

February 26, 2019 By Lane 1 Comment

The Whole30 is over for me, and although I am eating a much more healthy diet (give me all of the fruits and vegetables!) I am finding that a little indulgence goes a long way, and is SO needed from time to time. Take these Double Chocolate Olive Oil Brownies for example. Each brownie has a crackly top, a fudgy, chewy interior, and chocolate for days. And they’re made with my secret weapon from Queen Creek Olive Mill! Bet you can’t eat just one! (head directly to the bottom of the post for your new favorite recipe).

Apple Cinnamon Crescent Rolls with Dulce de Leche

February 5, 2019 By Holly 1 Comment

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

December 18, 2018 By Holly 1 Comment

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

October 16, 2018 By Holly 2 Comments

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

September 4, 2018 By Lane 36 Comments

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

August 21, 2018 By Holly 39 Comments

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

February 6, 2018 By Lane 16 Comments

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.
