This is such a fun (even romantic!) treat to make for a loved one.
A simple cheesecake filling dresses up these beautiful berries. Perfect for a party too!

Nothing beats a great slice of cheesy garlic bread next to a plate of pasta.
This version is the one I've been making for years.
Growing up my Mom served slices of garlic bread with a lot of our meals. I guess it was just her thing. Never anything too fancy, often leftover hamburger buns buttered and sprinkled with garlic salt or powder.
Once out of the house, I realized not everyone grew up the same way I did!
Apparently lots of bread at meals can be frowned upon - BUT, to this day I still enjoy serving it on special occasions.
Shortly after graduating college I came upon this amped ..read more

You guys have loved my "famous" banana bread for years, so why not give it a glow up?
This version has hints of snickerdoodle!
Who doesn't love to bake up a little snacking bread when those bananas turn brown? If you are like me, I keep a bag of those has been bananas, peeled and ready to go in my freezer for all my banana bread baking needs.
For YEARS you guys have loved my famous banana bread recipe. And as the years go on I like to make different versions of it - remember my brown butter version?
Well, today it's the snickerdoodle version!
Snickerdoodle cookies have been arou ..read more

The new year is here and so is everyone being a bit more mindful about healthy eating.
I have a great twist to add even more protein to traditional egg salad.
This post is sponsored by AE Dairy, but all opinions are my own.
I love kicking off the new year with healthy recipes (as that is what most of you are looking for) + it’s always a good idea for us to indulge a bit less after the holidays!
The growing trend as of late is high quality food, clean ingredients and lots of protein. The more protein we fill ourselves with the longer our bellies stay full, so it makes sense right?

Let's kick off the New Year with some healthy breakfast foods!
These recipes are easy and delicious + easy to prep.
Well, we made it through another year!
Goodbye to 2024, hello to 2025. Like any fresh start, it brings new beginnings, new challenges, new traditions and often a desire to kick off the year a bit healthier - especially after an indulgent holiday season.
Anyone else feel like they ate an entire gallon bucket of sugar in the last month?
You'll often notice my January posts will have a certain theme - healthy and easy! I'm never one to give you complicated recipes, any time ..read more

Here's the list everyone looks forward to!
The top 10 recipes from the year. Do you see any of your favorites?
Once Christmas is over, I love to take a deep dive into the analytics and stats and see what performed best during the year (and often what didn't). It's so fun!
Some recipes are a clear winner, while others can be surprising! Usually by years end I have somewhat of an idea of what went over well with readers, but there are always one or two that surprise me too.
Now while I have long standing recipes that are always in the top 10 (this one) and (this one), this list is just f ..read more

You're a mean one Mr. Grinch, but you make a fun cookie!
These tender cookies melt in your mouth.
Our 10 year old loves The Grinch movie. I think we've watched each version 20 times! While watching it last week I got the ideas for these cookies.
For a few reasons - I thought the girls would love making them (they did) and because I knew they would really stand out on any Christmas cookie platter being green (and they do)!
There is not any green food coloring in these cookies - you're welcome! But rather two packets of instant pistachio pudding are in the cookie dough which give t ..read more

‘Tis the season for all things egg nog! This creamy, rich, decadent holiday drink gets turned into a easy dip for all your holiday parties.
This post is sponsored by AE Dairy, but all opinions are my own.
There are two kids in my house who absolutely adore egg nog during the holiday season. I cannot purchase a carton without it being gone just days after. Sometimes I think I keep the egg nog people in business!
My friends at AE Dairy have a cult following egg nog – which makes sense as it is a 70+ year old recipe – when recipes have been around that long they are always good. Their eg ..read more

It's Day 12 of my 12 Days of Holiday Giveaways!
We've made it to the end! Today (3) winners will receive a Soft Faux Leather Tote Bag in the color of their choosing + a $25 Starbucks Gift Card.
It's hard to believe it's the last day of my holiday giveaways. I've been doing this for nine years! So if my math is correct that is 108 days of giveaways I've done just during the holidays alone. Sometimes I sprinkle a couple in during the rest of the year too.
It's been fun, but I'm tired! I hope you've had fun and while I know the chances of winning are small I still hope everyone has ..read more
