Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chia Bites

If you spend any time on these vast internets searching for recipes (which you probably do since you’re reading this blog), you may have noticed the trend in bite-sized snacks. There are the sweeter types like cake balls/cake pops and cookie dough balls as well as healthier versions like raw energy balls. I’ve been wanting […]

Make Ahead Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is a great way to start your morning. I just ate this beautiful breakfast and the day is already off to a great start. Growing up in Central PA, baked oatmeal was always one of my favorite treats to have when we went out for breakfast. Every little diner and family restaurant has […]

TWD: Honey Nut Brownies

Sweet, sweet TWD.  It’s been too long. I have been a major slack-a-saurus with my Tuesdays with Dorie baking.  I think I just got burnt out on all the sugar.  Then I saw the words “honey nut brownies” and stopped in my tracks.  I had to make them.  Love me some honey! Here’s what you […]

Fruit and Nut Granola

This post is long overdue. I am a granola person.  It’s just how I roll.  Not only that, but I’m a picky granola person.  I like my granola just so.  And maybe that’s why I’ve waited so long to make it for myself.  I wouldn’t want to force down a batch of bad granola.. yuck. […]
