A couple weeks ago, I made this apple slab pie recipe and I ended up having way too many apples to fit into the pie. What do you do with a bunch of diced apples that already have sugar and cinnamon on them? You make an easy apple crumble recipe, of course! If you’re looking…
I’ve made blueberry muffins on my blog before, but it had been a very long time. The other recipe had a streusel topping and ginger, which is a great combo for blueberry muffins. But this time, I wanted something super simple. That’s why I decided to make these quick and easy blueberry muffins. This recipe…
Apple pie is such a classic for summer and fall. It’s one of the few desserts that most people love. It’s nostalgic and delicious. But homemade pie crust can be kind of a pain to make. That’s why you need to try this semi-homemade apple slab pie crust recipe. It’s so much easier to make…
A few weeks ago, I shared this nuts and seeds cookies recipe. I still had a lot of extra sunflower and sesame seeds leftover from that recipe, so I created this healthy oatmeal breakfast cookies recipe. Both recipes are similar in that they are crunchy and nutty. But they are quite different because this recipe…
One of my all-time favorite low carb recipes is my cauliflower breadsticks. I make them at least a couple of times a month. Although I love them, I decided to try to swap out cauliflower for zucchini because I had a bunch of zucchini on hand. Let me tell you, this zucchini pizza crust recipe…
This Butterfinger Blondies recipe is sponsored by Ferrero. All opinions are my own. Have you ever tried baking with Butterfinger® candy bars? I’ve always wondered how it would be to bake with them, so I decided to try making Butterfinger blondies. To my delight, these turned out even better than I expected, so I wanted…
It’s strawberry season and my family is so happy. Strawberries are my son’s favorite fruit, so I always stock up on them when it’s the prime season. This year, I went a little overboard and had way too many. That’s why I decided to try baking with fresh strawberries this time around. I’ve baked with…
I don’t know about you, but I miss the days of being able to go out to dinner. I’m not a big drinker, but I do always like to order a cocktail or glass of wine when I do go out. One of my favorite drinks to order is a glass of red sangria. I’ve…
I’m so excited to share one of my favorite healthy cookie recipes with you. I actually shared these nut and seed cookies a few years back, but I wanted to share them again because I love them so much. The original recipe is based on these cookies I used to get at the Merc in…
The other day, I received several bottles of Risata Moscato wine. It is a sweet white wine that has citrusy notes, so I decided I’d try to create a cocktail with it. I wanted to create a sangria margarita recipe because a classic margarita is one of my favorite drinks, and Cinco De Mayo is…
Do you have any recipes that remind you of your childhood? This Special K Bars recipe definitely does. This was one of my very favorite treats my mom would make when I was a kid. There’s something about the peanut butter and chocolate combination that I (still) can’t get enough of. It is by far…
What are you doing with all your free time? I’ve definitely been spending more time in the kitchen. On one recent trip to the grocery store, there were very few veggies. But, I did find a 2-pound pack of mushrooms. I love mushrooms, but what the heck do you do with two pounds? That’s precisely…
My friend Ramona from Fab Everyday recently posted a cooking/baking challenge on her Facebook page. Basically, the challenge outlined 30 things that you should try to make from scratch at your home. I have made 23 of the items, but there are still 7 I have yet to make. One of them was biscuits from…
If you follow my blog at all, you know I love to bake. It’s therapeutic and calms me. I also happen to love sweets and so do my kids. Although I’ve baked a lot of recipes on the blog over the years, I can’t believe I’ve never made baked donuts. Ironically, one of my all-time…
I love baking, especially when I have fresh citrus in my backyard! One thing I absolutely love about SoCal (and there are many) is the fresh fruit. The citrus here is darn good. Since my house actually has a lemon tree, I love getting to find new lemon recipes to try each spring. That’s why…
