This, in my humble opinion, is the ultimate zucchini bread. It’s got all of the things you love about zucchini bread: its tender, moist crumb, it’s inviting sweetness and warmth, and its delicious excuse to eat cake for breakfast because VEGETABLES! But it feels special…
Peach season is here, and to me that means peach salads, jams, cobbler, and simple, summery cakes like this one. Peaches are one of my favorite fruits. this might be in part to their elusiveness. they are in season for a mere month or two…
It’s finally summer, which means less meals roasting in the oven and more of these light, refreshing suppers around here. This recipe is a perfect weeknight dinner, as the shrimp get a quick 30 minute marinade and then cook on the stovetop for under 5…
How fun as these little cuties? I am all about easy, healthy meal prep for the week and these are perfect for that. They also take all of 5 minutes to get in the oven, so are great when having people over for breakfast or…
If you’ve been here a while, you know how much I adore hummus. In fact, tahini has become one of my favorite ingredients and I’m so thankful to the Indian and Middle Eastern cultures and cuisine that brought it to us here in America. I’ve…
I baked six rounds of these cookies in a quest to make them perfect. Gluten, and grain free cookies are not easy to create! I’ve availed myself to many resources over the last year or so, learning more and more. America’s Test Kitchen has many…
It’s almost Mother’s Day, and what better way to celebrate than with CAKE?! And not just any cake, but coffee cake. And not just any coffee cake, but SALTED CARAMEL coffee cake. I’m crazy for this recipe, and so excited to share it with you. …

I didn’t mean to start a breakfast cookie website but… here we are. These Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread Cookies are sort of a cross between banana bread and cookies, hence the name. They are soft on the inside with lots of texture from coconut, banana…
I am very fond of simple, seasonal cakes. They are what I most enjoy baking and what I most enjoy eating. Last week’s Carrot Spice Snacking Cake and this Berry Zucchini Cake are examples of that, and very yummy ones I might add. My husband…
Carrot cake is one of my all time favorite cakes. Chrissy Teigen agrees. When made properly, it’s both tender and dense at the same time with just the right amount of spice and texture. The sweet, tangy, luscious cream cheese frosting doesn’t hurt either. So…
Breakfast cookies, they are a beautiful thing. While the idea of eating a cookie for breakfast may seem odd to some, it’s not an off the wall concept. After all, granola is really just a deconstructed oatmeal cookie isn’t it? The problem is that usually…
With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, how could I not provide you with a potato recipe? I know that mashed potatoes are classic in my household, but sometimes I like to switch it up, and this is an easy, impressive way to do just…
