Do you like your cookies to be soft on the inside but still have some bite on the outside? Then, you will absolutely love this recipe! It’s one of the best I’ve ever made in all my years of baking (and that’s a longgggg time)! If you prefer a bit more crunch, roll small balls […]
I’ve been making cornbread since before I could walk. Every year at Thanksgiving, my job was to make the cornbread (but as muffins). I made the exact same recipe every year and while everyone said they liked them, truth-be-told, I never did. I thought they were dry and hard to swallow. So a few years […]
Last night, I was feeling a bit Southern-food-inspired but wanted to make it with a healthier twist. So I decided to make some good old fashioned Sweet Buttermilk Cornbread and this fried chicken. Traditional fried chicken is heavily coated and deep-fried. I can’t seem to handle deep-fried foods anymore, so I opted to use a […]
Here’s a cute little healthy and patriotic breakfast, lunch or snack for you and the kids! It’s all red, white and blue, all healthy and no added sugar. All you do is layer each thing on top of each other until it’s filled up to the top. I topped it with a flag, too, to […]
Chicken parm! A delicious Italian staple. It’s so good but it’s not always the healthiest – it’s usually dredged in a lot of egg and breadcrumbs/cheese, then fried, topped with a ton more cheese before it’s eaten with a big bowl of pasta. Now, there isn’t anything wrong with this dish! It’s delicious! But to […]
If you haven’t noticed the lack of meat on my site recently, you will now. For years and years, I was a vegetarian. And after traveling, I started eating meat again. In recent years, I’ve started going off of it again and as of last August, I haven’t add any red meat. I don’t see […]
Happy Memorial Day – a day of remembering and honoring our countries heroes. Today, we’re celebrating and reflecting with family. We are teaching our girls about our country and what red, white and blue means to us. With kids, big topics like this can be hard for them to digest, so we keep it simple […]
It’s my baby’s 3 BIRTHDAY!!!!! Matilda turns 3 today and everyone knows it! She has strong opinions about everything, including her special day. I simply love how she knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to share. She definitely seems to be taking after me in that department…. 🙂 Well, when we told her her […]
This morning, Amelia woke up and asked me to bake banana muffins. Since we always have overripe bananas frozen in the freezer, we had our morning activity planned! We mixed everything together and 25 minutes later had some tasty, NO SUGAR muffins ready to devour. I just love that these don’t have any added sugar […]
This time of year, I love to make big bakes of every kind and have my oven going nonstop. It keeps everything warm, from my house to my belly, and that makes me happy! For dinner tonight, I wanted some kind of mac n’ cheese, but I needed it to be a little more substantial. […]
