It’s back! Candy Corn is back in your local grocery store folks! You only have 60 days to enjoy this treat so don’t delay. I don’t know about you but my Labor Day was filled with super sweet waxy triangles of awesomeness. So what if it felt like I was cheating on the holiday. We’re just […]

Honey Cornbread Muffins

August 27, 2014.Reading time 3 minutes.

I learned an important lesson this week while making cornbread muffins. Don’t over-think things. Simple is best. Who says the best lessons aren’t learned while baking anyways? A few weeks ago I made a cornbread crumb cake that was delicious albeit a little time-consuming. And yesterday I cooked up a batch of vegetarian chili and was looking for […]

Panzanella Salad

August 15, 2014.Reading time 2 minutes.

Considering I’m a true adult now and all, I figured I should start expanding my salad repertoire and get a little fancier. Just kidding. I just had some rock hard bread that I didn’t want to go to waste. Truth is I love carbs as much as the next runner gearing up for a big […]

If you’ve been reading my recipe posts as of late, you’ll know that I’ve been doing everything in my power to avoid turning on my oven this summer. With the exception of this ombre birthday cake for Matt’s birthday, I have stuck with no-cook or grilling meals to combat the summer heat. When Rizzi from […]

In the middle of a full-on middle school crush with The Mindy Project. It’s been about 4 years since I had sophisticated TV equipment so I’m on technology overload as of late. How did I go so long without this show in my life and why can’t all OB/GYNs be that funny? Finding it hard to concentrate […]

Some of you may remember when I made my first attempt at an ombré cake back in March for my Mom’s birthday. It wasn’t a complete flop but I rushed through it, failing to execute the preschool-mastered skill of color order. Yes, it still tasted good and fit in with the whole St. Patrick’s day theme […]

Oh hey there. Me again. I’ve been meaning to share our meal plan this week with you but apparently I can only get my stuff together to make one of them happen at a time. Now don’t assume I’m a super planner who writes down her weekday meals every Sunday or anything. I want to be that […]

Cornbread Cake Crumble

July 14, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

Man I love subject lines chock full of alliteration. Can you blame me? It perfectly sums up what this recipe is; a mix of cornbread, cake and an awesome crumble on top. And as much as I love alliteration, I love cornbread even more. Just don’t tell my good friend almond butter. I’m not sure love even […]

Buffalo Turkey Flatbread

I don’t like to toot my own horn but over the years I’ve learned to make a pretty mean turkey burger. Toot. Toot. And so on my weekly (ok maybe more than weekly) Target trip I bought a pound of ground turkey with plans of making burgers. But then I saw this recipe from Little Leopard Book using […]
