I love grab and go breakfast options. Small little treats that go perfectly with your morning coffee that you can throw in your bag before rushing out the door. These mini muffins are perfectly bite-sized. What I love most about them is that they are not overly sweet. Ava and I thought they were perfect [...]

Frozen Greek Strawberry Yogurt
After having colds and sinus infections for weeks I figured my family needed something cold and nourishing. This frozen Greek yogurt is extra creamy with a pop of refreshing berry flavor. I love this yogurt because it’s not too heavy and you still get that cold, creamy feeling of ice cream. I would much rather [...]
Potato Cheddar Bites
These potato bites are perfect and so versatile. I love this recipe because you can change it up in so many ways. You could add a mixture of sweet potato and white potatoes. You could do different cheeses. I love the idea of adding spinach or kale to them. The possibilities are endless. With a [...]
Pineapple Cilantro Smoothie
After a weekend packed full of cheese, wine and chocolate I was more than ready for few light meals. I love smoothies because they are loaded with nutrients and don’t leave you feeling overly full. This smoothie is sweet, creamy and unique. The cilantro adds a refreshing, distinct flavor that really sets it apart from [...]
Spiced Apple Cider Cookies
Fall is coming to an end. The bitter cold weather is slowly moving in. One of my favorite things about fall is warm apple cider. As we were spending our Thanksgiving sipping on cups of apple cider, I thought ‘How wonderful would it be to have this in cookie form?’ The following day I whipped [...]
Snicker Doodle Cookies
Warm snickers doodles are quite possibly the most blissful thing you could consume. I love the tartness of cream of tarter and the warm cinnamon spice. These cookies are the perfect treat for afternoon tea. With fall coming I know this recipe will be on my to make list regularly. These cookies would pair beautifully [...]
Blueberry Banana Bread
All banana bread recipes are not created equal. I can assure you of this. It seems like a simple enough baked good to but there are flop recipes out there. All over the web you will find a variety of variations. Honestly, though, the thought of veering from my classic recipe is scary. I love [...]
Strawberry Coconut Smoothie
This smoothie is so refreshing. It takes you right out of this March cold winter straight to a tropical island. Did you know there are people out there who hate coconut??? {gasp} I know. How could you possibly have an aversion to something so luxurious? It’s like those people who say they dislike the beach…really? [...]
Cold Fighting Orange Smoothie
We had a stunning weekend here. The weather was warm and we had amazing clear skies. Not a good weekend to be cooped up inside with a fierce cold. Which is exactly where I was. Inside on the couch. No fun. This smoothie was definitely the highlight of my weekend. The cold refreshing taste [...]
Banana Cake
I’m definitely one of those weirdos that swoons over brown bananas. They have to be just the right brown, though. I don’t do black bananas. Once black they are too far gone. This banana cake is extra moist with just a touch of spice . Perfect for any afternoon tea party or casual brunch. There [...]
