The other day, I had some apples I needed to use up. Incidentally, needing to use up ingredients is how many of my favorite recipes are born. Anyway, I wanted to make a dessert with the apples, and I happened to have some frozen pie dough in the freezer. I’ve never been a pie baker. […]
I saw a recipe for Chocolate Energy Bites, and I thought they were perfect for me. Recently we welcomed our second child, Eleanor Jayne, into our family.
