Do you love a lazy weekend? My favorite thing to do when I don’t have to work is literally nothing. I briefly left my house to go to the bar, but mostly sat around, played silly games on my computer, did some baking, and watched Star Trek with a beer or two. Aside from the […]

This whole month, I’ve been participating in “Frugal February”. It’s too easy to feel exhausted after work and go out for dinner or drop $100 at Target because I’m bored – so I decided that at least for a month of February, I would make changes to the way I spend money and what I […]

I’ve been on a bit of a decadent banana breakfast kick lately. Last weekend I made banana french toast and this weekend I made both these oatmeal banana pancakes and peanut butter banana breakfast rolls (recipe coming soon!). I’m not normally so into bananas, but they’re cheap, delicious, and easy to keep around the house. […]

Ever since the delicious outcome of putting butternut squash in broccoli cheese soup, I’ve been trying to combine cheese and squash as often as possible. Macaroni and cheese is usually a fatty, calorie dense food with little actual substance – but too delicious to resist. Using squash in the base of the soup adds a […]

While pancakes will probably be my favorite forever, sometimes I just really want french toast. I don’t often keep eggs in the house, so most of my french toast recipes end […]

Did you watch the Super Bowl yesterday? I definitely did not! I did briefly tune in to the Puppy bowl and the kitty halftime show though and ate a lot of snacks!… Anyway, onto today’s recipe. I’m very late to the buffalo sauce game. I have never been able to do spicy, just looking at […]

*Pictures Updated on 8/15/13 with Easy Whole Wheat Bread* White chicken chili has always looked like something I’d want to eat– if only it didn’t have chicken. It’s creamy, smells a little spicy, and looks so comforting! Not knowing what it actually tastes like, I had to start with recipes I found online and tweak […]

Let’s put one thing out there, donuts are delicious. I have a friend who can’t have gluten and if you put her in any hypothetical or imaginary situation, her first response is “I would eat a donut”. I was already working on a healthy baked donut recipe, so I decided to make it gluten free […]
