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 […]

I know it’s no where near bell pepper season, but I crave stuffed peppers all year round. I like them a few different ways: fake meat and rice, chili and cornbread, full of veggies and tomato sauce– all are good choices! My sister and dad mentioned last week that they were going to make chicken […]

After a week of particularly bad eating (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween… the usual suspects), I like to get back on track with a vegan week. Being vegan isn’t so bad: until you remember cheese. This definitely isn’t a vegan week– in fact, my grocery bill was probably 50% cheese this week (Hello, pound of gouda!), but […]

I debated with myself weather to post a Valentine’s Day-sy recipe. Every blog I look at has had red velvet this and bright pink that. While 99% of those recipes seemed amazing, I’m not really a red velvet, pink, or overly romantic kind of person. I am, however, a dessert person, so I decided any […]

Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day. Lazy weekend breakfasts are even better, especially when they’re carby and covered in syrup. 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 […]

*Photos updated 1/20/2014* Snow day! Here in Michigan, there is easily a foot of snow in my driveway this morning! Crazy. I shoveled my way out to the road, only to find that the snow is so deep, even if I shoveled out my driveway, the bottom of my car can’t physically clear the height […]

*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 […]

For some reason, Valentine’s day always means cherry flavored everything. I’m a big fan of the fake-tasting cherry chip boxed cake mix, though I don’t really like to admit it. I took the idea of a cherry cupcake and ran with it, all the way to a real-cherry-tasting muffin. This recipe uses flax in place […]
