Sugarless Blueberry Muffins

I've never been a big breakfast lover, but have been trying to get better at making a good starter meal for the day, especially for my husband and daughter, and to get me in the habit of eating something soon after I wake up. One super easy thing to whip up in just a few …

Peanut Butter “Play Dough”

When I was little, my mom made play-dough ALLLL the time for us. We would make salt dough and color it with food coloring or add essential oils to it, and spend hours upon hours making things, sometimes baking and painting them afterward. But the thing with salt dough is it takes a while to …

Banana No-Nut Bread

Since it's finally cooled off outside, I've gotten into a baking mood. Today I was catching up on some house work and noticed that I had some overly ripened bananas on the table that hadn't been eaten. They were way past eating them alone, so I knew I either had to throw them out or …

Butterfingers Cupcakes

I've shared the sheet cake version of this before, and it's the cake I've now made for my husband the past four birthdays. This year, however, I wanted to try a little different take on it. I decided to do cupcakes in hopes of a little portion control. (Or was that just wishful thinking?) Last …

THM Peanut Butter Shake (S)

I started THM (again!) right after Christmas, and have LOVED it this time around. I've definitely had some off days, either because I honestly messed up or I just threw self-control out the window completely. The week of my and Eden's birthday... and the week before... were really off weeks. But anyway. I'm determined to …

Easy One Pan Meal

I make these "one pan meals" all the time. They're not super quick, but if you give yourself a little prep time (not a whole lot) and put it in the oven just an hour before supper time, you're all set. This is just a guideline recipe like my last recipe, for cole slaw, so …

A Valentine Breakfast

I've been trying to think of cute little Valentine's Day foods I could make this week and next. It's not a super big holiday that we celebrate, but with my birthday being the same month (today, actually!), I've always enjoyed the pink and hearts and sparkles everywhere, so it's one of my favorites. So I …

Homemade Cole Slaw

Cole slaw is one of the easiest sides to make that goes with pretty much any meal. I love cabbage-- whether boiled, grilled, or raw-- and so the other day I decided to use some to make cole slaw for a dinner at some friends' house. I'm all about quick and easy, so instead of …

Christmas Sugar Cookies

Yesterday Eden and I made Christmas cookies. The smell of the dough reminded me of my childhood and getting to decorate sugar cookies with my grandma, siblings, and cousins. Last year Eden was too little to probably enjoy doing something like this, so this year I'm excited to get to try new fun things--like baking …

National Brownie Day

Brownies are good any day of the year, but because today is National Brownie Day, I'm sharing with you two of my brownie recipes. One is made in a mug, and the other is... just perfect-- those ooey-gooey chewy ones. So here ya go. Brownie in a Mug Perfect Brownies I hope you enjoy! Happy …
