Make Ahead Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is a great way to start your morning. I just ate this beautiful breakfast and the day is already off to a great start. Growing up in Central PA, baked oatmeal was always one of my favorite treats to have when we went out for breakfast. Every little diner and family restaurant has […]

Sprinkled Chocolate Thumbrint Cookies

Good morning, all! How are your holiday sugar hangovers? Today I’ve got some more sugary treats for you in honor of the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, hosted by the fabulously talented Lindsay of Love and Olive Oil and Julie of The Little Kitchen. I have had the pleasure of meeting these two darlings in […]

New York-Style Crumb Cake

Good afternoon, earthquake survivors!  Seems like everyone is a little shook up today.  We didn’t feel it down here in GA, but if we had, I would certainly be celebrating survival with this crumb cake. Truthfully, I made this crumb cake about 100 million years ago and forgot to post it.  I found the photos […]

Miss Brenda’s Pound Cake

One of my favorite things about living in Georgia is that Southern hospitality.  Shortly after we arrived in GA, we had the honor of sharing a meal at Miss Brenda’s.  This woman is the sweetest Southern gal you will ever meet!  I just love her laughter and smiles, her love for the Lord and her […]

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

May is all supposed to be all about pies around here, my darlings.  I’m starting out with a bit of an unconventional pie post, though, just to keep things exciting for you.. with whoopie pies! Have you heard about whoopie pies?  They kind of had a moment in the foodie world recently, and it seemed […]

Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am a chewy chocolate chip cookie lover.  There is just something excellent about biting into a soft, gooey, melty cookie.  Sounds perfect already.. but add nutella, and I’ll eat the whole batch. I’ve been a little light on the posting lately.  That’s mostly because I got burnt out on all the vegan business.  It […]

Vegan CocoNana Mini Muffins

Even though I’m not living the vegan lifestyle anymore, I’m still finding ways to enjoy vegan recipes in my diet.  I saw this recipe this morning on Miss Mary‘s blog and I had to jump right in and make them!  They looked delicious and simple, and they were. The name CocoNana refers to the coconut […]

Part-Time Vegan, Day 4

  I ate too many cookies today. ‘Cause, you know.. sugar’s vegan. (Woo hoo!) Breakfast was a peanut butter banana wrap with almond milk. Lunch was the salad bar at Lane’s. Snack was (too many!!) vegan chocolate chip cookies. Dinner was leftover pasta. Let me just tell you about this banana wrap.  I make this […]

Fruit and Nut Granola

This post is long overdue. I am a granola person.  It’s just how I roll.  Not only that, but I’m a picky granola person.  I like my granola just so.  And maybe that’s why I’ve waited so long to make it for myself.  I wouldn’t want to force down a batch of bad granola.. yuck. […]

Strawberry Ice Cream

 Remember Monday?  When I couldn’t deliver my Valentine’s Day gift to you? So lame.  You deserve better. You deserve strawberry ice cream. Can we still be valentines? Good.  Moving on. You know what’s even better than making this ice cream for your sweetheart on VDay?  Making it for them a week later.  Then, not only […]
