Tasty Tuesday: Cinnamon Raisin muffins, uh, I mean bread.

November 27, 2018.Reading time 6 minutes.

I don’t even know who I am anymore. There. I said it. I baked. AGAIN. Like I said, I don’t know who I am. It all started with about a hundred of those little tiny raisin boxes floating around my son’s snack basket (he’s been a raisin fiend for the past month), and shifted one […]

When you have a kid that just doesn’t have the ability to leave a pumpkin behind… you have to improvise. And given just how many pie pumpkins I’ve had to buy this year because of my whole “well, we can leave it out for decoration for a little bit, then cook it” leave nothing to […]

Tasty Tuesday: Quick Apple Bread.

I always feel like I need to preface ANY blog entry I do that is baking related: I’m not a baker. I’m still trying to work on it. Give me cooking any day, but baking – I can surely leave it behind. This past Sunday was definitely a clear reminder as to why. The night […]

Fall Tastes Tuesday: Chocolate Chip Pumpkin (Cake) Cookies.

It was still well over 90°F outside, with humidity percentages that made the air feel like a lead weight upon your chest, when we brought our first pumpkin of 2018 home from the store. One of our “larger” grocery stores supports our local farmers in a big way – which is pretty much one of […]

Tasty Tuesday: Double Chocolate PB Protein Cookies.

Why, oh why does everything in the world have coconut in some shape or form in it nowadays? I swear it’s the hardest allergy to navigate in the “coconut solves everything!” mindset of today. I’ve had to change lotions and sunscreens a million times, because by the time I find one coconut free, after I […]

Why Not Wednesday: Protein Granola Bars

August 31, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

I have forever been on a mission to make myself a better snack. One where I don’t have to give (re: compromise) too much, if anything at all. Remember my protein hockey pucks? Yeah, those babies steered me off the path of making my own snacks for a bit. I think I finally ended up […]

A Food Thing: Cinnamon Swirl Protein Bread.

April 28, 2015.Reading time 5 minutes.

If I thought there was never a dull moment in this household before, having a baby has certainly changed that. Everything has changed, yet it’s all still the same (if that makes any sense to someone who doesn’t have newborn baby fried brain like me). I like to cook. Baking? I have very little patience […]

Brownies with… cottage cheese?

September 9, 2013.Reading time 5 minutes.

Let me just start out by saying, I’m honest in my own opinions with my food posts. If I say something is yummy, I mean that with every taste bud on my tongue, I think it really is good. So in all fairness, if I say something is crap, then to me, well… it’s crap. […]
