I love s’mores, but they are awfully messy. No matter how I eat them, I always end up with strands of melted marshmallow all over my chin and caked in my hair. These bars are the perfect solution. I do miss the campfire a little bit, but my marshmallow-free hair is totally making up for [...]
Today I tried rhubarb for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised. I love it! This rhubarb pie has the perfect balance of sweet and tart. If you’re one of those make-your-own-piecrust overachievers you could win a contest with this recipe. It’s so simple to make too! 4 cups chopped rhubarb (if using frozen [...]
We can’t celebrate Easter without a batch of Grammy’s famous (well, famous in our family) sugar cookies. It feels good to use my rolling pin every now and then. If you need a good cookie icing recipe this one is my favorite. You can make it different colors and get all fancy with it, but I [...]
If you need a simple dessert made from ingredients you already have on hand, look no further! These are scrumptious. Next time I make them I’m going to experiment with different jams for the filling. 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 cup rolled [...]
Am I the only one whose mom made those delicious “no bake cookies” after school growing up? My mom always called them “oatmeal candy cookies” which I think sounds much more delicious than “no bakes”. Anyway, today I tried Tiffany of The Gracious Pantry’s clean eating recipe for no bake cookies. They are so scrumptious [...]
Chocolate-covered Katie has redeemed herself. After my chickpea cookie dough fiasco, I had several recommendations to try Katie’s cookie pie recipe. It’s basically the same as the dough recipe, but you bake it. I had some serious doubts, because usually good tasting dough is the key to a good tasting cookie. Nevertheless I tried it [...]
I needed something sweet to distract me from all the leftover Halloween candy, so I was happy when I discovered this pumpkin frozen yogurt recipe. I was all set to make it, but the more I thought about it the more it seemed like it might not taste that great. The pumpkin to yogurt ratio [...]
Last week I discovered Katie’s Healthy Dessert Blog, and I was so excited to try her Cookie Dough Dip recipe. For some reason I was convinced that even though the recipe consisted mostly of smooshed up chickpeas, it would taste like cookie dough. I was being naive I guess. Today I made the “cookie dough”, [...]
How about a healthy dish to make up for all the Nutella ice cream you’ve been eating? I never would’ve thought to combine mint, edamame, and lemon, but since I like them all individually I gave it a shot. I’m glad I did, because this simple recipe is a keeper! I’ve been eating it all week [...]
Here’s another ridiculously easy and delicious recipe for you! This dish has become a regular around here, because it’s perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Serve it over a bed of arugula (or settle for mixed greens if your lame grocery store is out of arugula like mine was) with a drizzle of olive oil and [...]
