Kitchen Remodel and Zucchini Pie Recipe

It’s an exciting time around our house because we’re in the process of a complete kitchen overhaul.  I mean, the whole works – we’ve torn down two walls, and we’ll be getting new flooring in the whole main floor, new cabinets and countertops…it’s so exciting.  And such a mess!  And if you’ve ever remodeled anything, […]

Kitchen Remodel and Zucchini Pie Recipe

Turkey, Feta, and Spinach Scramble

The other day I woke up and decided I wanted to make a skillet scramble for breakfast, so I opened the fridge to see what it had to offer.  I saw some of the things we frequently have on hand that were nearing their end game.  So I figured, why not throw them into my […]

Homemade Granola Bars Redux

I think I’m kind of obsessed with this granola bar thing.  There are so many different ways to make them – I just can’t help myself!  This time I went back to the old standby of peanut butter and chocolate chips, but I also used coconut oil and added coconut.  Try to contain your excitement. […]

Healthy Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

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 […]

Low Fat Strawberry Banana Smoothie

I wanted to make a smoothie the other day, but I didn’t want to go to the store, so I headed into the kitchen to see what I had on hand.  I had a ripe banana in the freezer (for just such an occasion), some strawberries, and some yogurt.  Perfect!  I knew I’d need something […]

Healthy Apple Muffins with Pecan Topping

Homemade Granola Bars, The Sequel

I’ve been working at the granola bars again.  This time, I went an entirely different route.  The last three times I made them (until I got them right), I went the peanut butter, nut, chocolate route.  And they were crispy and crunchy.  And delicious.  But as good as those were, I was itching to try […]

Peanut Butter Banana French Toast

I think Elvis would be proud.  This is the new breakfast of champions. I don’t even know what else to say about this recipe except that you have to try it.  It’s UH-MAZE-ING.  So delicious and decadent.  It’s perfect for a weekend brunch.  And it’s easy.  I’d bet you already have all of the ingredients on hand. […]

Baked Oatmeal with Strawberries, Bananas, and Chocolate

I saw this recipe on Pinterest a while back, and it just looked so delicious.  Sometimes I need to cook breakfast for a crowd, like when we have family in town, so I am always keeping an eye out for new breakfast recipes.  You see a lot of breakfast casseroles that have eggs, meat, and […]

Southwest Skillet Scramble

On weekends, Tim and I like to put together different variations of skillet scrambles using different meats, veggies, and cheeses.  They are so quick and easy, made all in one pan, and you can make them millions of different ways.  Tim loves eggs, so he’d eat them any which way.  I decided to put something […]
