It’s officially fall now. The weather is turning cooler, the leaves are starting to change, and the internet is flooded with recipes laced with pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, butternut squash, and so many other wonderful fall flavors. Cars are lining up around the block for the infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte. Personally, I am a pumpkin lover […]
What I have to share with you today is not a recipe, but a simple tip. When I figured this out, I did a mental forehead smack for not thinking of it before. It’s one of those things that is so simple, yet so helpful. You may already be doing it! I don’t know about you, […]
It’s berry season – yay! Actually, we’re coming to the end of strawberry season (which was late this year), and tiptoeing into blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry season. Now’s the time when the berries are ripe, and sweet, and bursting with flavor…not to mention way cheaper than any other time! So it only makes sense to […]
These. Are. Delicious. Sinfully delicious. And rich. And decadent. I first made these at Thanksgiving with my Mother in Law, but I didn’t have my camera so I didn’t blog it then. They were so good though – Tim’s sister even said it was the best thing she ever ate – that I knew I’d […]
So, I subscribe to this awesome blog, Two Peas and Their Pod. I just love their recipes, their photos are fantastic, and their posts are well written. A couple of weeks ago, I saw they posted this recipe for Baked Spaghetti Squash with Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce. I knew immediately I’d have to try […]
Hi, my name is Cara, and I am addicted to peanut butter. I’m not ashamed of it. I own it. If you leave it to me, all baked goods will have peanut butter in them. And chocolate. And sometimes banana. So anyway, cookies. These are a really delicious balance of sweet and salty, with the […]
These muffins are amazing. In fact, they are so delicious, I think you could almost call them cupcakes. I know muffins are for breakfast, but I have no shame in admitting I’ve eaten them for dessert. The bananas and chocolate go so well together and the cinnamon and nutmeg add a bit of warmth. My […]
Here I go again with the peanut butter and chocolate. Recently, a friend pinned this recipe with a subtle suggestion that I should make these cupcakes, and I was pretty easily convinced. They just looked so good, and you know how I am with peanut butter and chocolate. The only thing was I wanted there […]
It’s officially grilling season! Officially declared by me, that is. We only have a charcoal grill at our house, so if we are going to grill something, it takes a decent time commitment. That’s why if we’re going to go through the trouble to get the grill ready, I usually want to cook as much […]
As an adult, I have really grown to love sweet potatoes. I would not even eat them as a kid, but now it seems like I can’t get enough. Plus, they’re a superfood – they’re full of fiber, complex carbohydrates, protein,vitamins A and C, iron, and calcium. Between the delicious sweet and savory taste and the health benefits, what’s not […]
