Fall is nearly upon us and I am so excited to start working with the amazing flavors of the new season while preparing for the (hopefully) cooler weather to come.
Pumpkin is one of my favorite things to work with in the fall. It's such a versatile fruit! It can be used for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Sweet, savory, or otherwise!...
Read MoreI'm not entirely sure why, but I just haven't been able to focus well lately. Everything has turned out really tasty, but my photography skills have just not been up to par. That means that I have to work twice as hard and it all becomes some vicious circle. Needless to say, this is now the third attempt at a decent and cohesive recipe post this week.
To say that I've exhausted myself, would be an understatement.
Even with all of that being said, I finally had success. Huge success. And all with this amazing Healthified Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Banana Bread! Look, fall is my favorite time of year, and I'll be the first to admit that I am one of those. I'm an outright pumpkin fanatic. I live for pumpkin spice anything...
Read MoreSo, there isn't much that makes me think of back-to-school and childhood other than the flavors of a good peanut butter and jelly. I've never felt inclined to limit PB&J to a mere sandwich though. In fact, one of my most favorite ways to enjoy peanut butter and jelly is in the form of a parfait. Seriously, it's good stuff. I'm a firm believer that you just can't go wrong when you mix the sweet and salty taste pf peanut butter with the tartness of fresh fruits.
Today I wanted to step outside the box even further to make these amazing PB&J Oat Bars. These would make for a perfect snack, an addition to a lunchbox, or even as breakfast; which is how I've been enjoying them all week long! Back-to-school as been crazy and this grab-and-go bar has been exactly what I needed. I've actually enjoyed them so much that I'm planning to make them again next week!...

My little girl is 6 years old now and is a little eccentric. She's a lefty and as such is incredibly creative and imaginative. Needless to say, in this house, we 'believe' in magical things like fairies, unicorns, mermaids, leprechauns, and so on. That's what childhood is for, right? Magic, wonder, and all things amazing.
Childhood is a thing worth celebrating.
Of course, this Unicorn Ice Cream Cake would be amazing for any holiday or celebration and the bright and super fun colors are completely versatile and up to you to get creative with. Maybe there's a back-to-school unicorn around your house with the primary colors? Or a holiday unicorn with red, green, and white? Today though? It was all about the infamous rainbow unicorn...
Read MoreIt's still really hot here in Texas right now. Seriously, it was 80 degrees upstairs in my house last night. ...And that was after the sun set. So, clearly I'm staying away from the oven as much as humanly possible for a few more weeks. In the mean time... I'm still craving things that generally require cooking or baking. Let's face it, life doesn't stop just because it's hot outside! Cookies are what's been on my brain lately.
If it's cookies I want, it's cookies I get.
Not just any old cookie though. I want something thick and rick and colorful. Enter this Skinny Edible Monster Cookie Dough! If this won't get you through the heat of the summer and curb your cookie cravings, nothing will...
Read MoreSo, today I decided to be a bit lazy and go the no bake route. I mean... it's 100 degrees here in Texas and I sure don't want to turn my oven or stove on anymore than I need to. That being said, sometimes a girl just needs a sweet treat or a cookie to make it through the day! This is definitely the best of both worlds right here.
These no bake thumbprint cookies are so super easy to whip and I don't even need to heat my kitchen up at all to enjoy them! The best part is that they are basically as clean as cookies can come! Using oat and nut flours instead of wheat, also means they are gluten-free!...
