I hope that you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. I have been a little MIA myself over the past couple weeks doing the same (eating too much and drinking a tad more wine than is probably recommended...ha!), but I am back in the game and ready to share some seriously … Continue reading Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is to bake, decorate, and (of course) eat sugar cookies with the family. It is simply not Christmas without decorated sugar cookies. As far back as I can remember, we have always done this each and every year, and it the one thing the kids truly enjoy making during … Continue reading Frosted Almond Sugar Cookies
For as long as I can remember, molasses cookies have been a delicious part of our family's holiday traditions. My sweet, sweet Grams made an incredibly soft, perfectly spiced cookie with a simple powdered sugar glaze. In my adult life, I only successfully made her recipe twice. She was one of those amazingly talented old … Continue reading Spiced Molasses Cookies- Paleo
It's the most wonderful time of the year... cue the classic Andy Williams song and cozy up with a warm peppermint mocha. Thanksgiving is officially over and I'm brimming full of Christmas cheer. My mind is working overtime trying to plan all things Christmas. Gifts to buy, holiday parties to attend, treats to make for … Continue reading Cranberry Dark Chocolate Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
This is the dinner that almost wasn't... the post that almost didn't happen because disaster ensued mid-cooking... Anyone else's kids absolutely obsessed with slime? Our girls have a serious infatuation with it. It has made its share of messes and stains and ruined countless household items, but we hit a new level of catastrophe on … Continue reading Egg Roll Bowls
We live in a world that tells us, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." I'm gonna call bullshit on that one and state the obvious facts: 1- whoever said that hasn't tasted this cake and 2- we need indulgence once in awhile. Life is too short to worry about trivial things... Don't spend the … Continue reading Melty Chocolate Lava Cake for 2
Call me crazy, call me cliche, but there is something that is honest-to-god decadently comforting about chocolate. While my palate's preferences vary vastly from season to season, chocolate is ALWAYS A THING in my world. Summer, spring, winter, and fall, chocolate knows no limits when it comes to satisfying the sweet tooth for this girl. … Continue reading Dark Chocolate & Toasted Pecan Cookies
I am a firm believer that you can stick just about any sort of meat in a warm corn tortilla, dress it up a bit, and the outcome is going to be delicious every time. I know a lot of people don't care for corn tortillas, but even before going gluten-free they were what I … Continue reading Oven-Roasted Chicken Fajitas
Anytime I get the opportunity to use the word "breakfast" and the word "cookie" in the same sentence, I get a little more excited than I probably should. It is no secret that I have a sweet tooth, but since overhauling my diet I have really tried to limit my intake of refined sugars. Going … Continue reading Healthy Breakfast Oatmeal Cookies 2 Ways
Some days I really dislike the technologically-driven world we live in... we are addicted to our phones and would rather spend time arguing with complete strangers over dumb political bullsh*t on Facebook than engaging our friends and family in meaningful conversation that will bring us closer together. That is a rant for a different day... … Continue reading Paleo Lemon Almond Poppyseed Muffins
