It may not be summer time just yet, but I think we could all use some sunshine and warmth right now in our lives. So, I thought I would go ahead and make these Skinny Summer Strawberry Scones and update the photography in the process.
I've made scones a handful of times in the past few years, and while it took a few attempts at first I’ve gotten the process of making these scones down well enough. The recipe is surprisingly similar to that for Irish Soda Bread…
Read MoreIn the midst of chaos, I managed to get my hands on some pretty sprinkles! And what does a girl do with sprinkles? She bakes up a sweet treat and uses the sprinkles for decoration! These Whole Wheat Sugar Cookie Bars are perfectly delicious while being made just a little better-for-you by using whole wheat flour and some natural sweetener in place of sugar.
The best part is, you still get frosting with these cookie bars! Yep, that’s right, these thick, fluffy cookie bars are topped with what I think is a perfect layer of homemade frosting. Not too thick, not too thin, and adds just the right amount of sweetness…
Read MoreIt’s a wide world of crazy out there right now. Things are being shut down left and right and groceries are scarce at this point to say the least. Until things return to normal, I’m doing my part in staying around home and coming up with simple, easy to make recipes that can hopefully be made with just a few staple pantry ingredients that everyone should have on hand.
This Everything Chicken Salad is one such recipe! Chicken salad is pretty much a fail-safe bite that’s full of protein, easy to make, and fairly versatile as it can be used as a dip, spread, or stand-alone. Being as I always always have ‘everything seasoning’ on hand, I thought I could put the two together!…
Read MoreToday’s the day! It’s St. Patrick’s Day. What goes better with self quarantine and St. Patty’s Day than Irish Soda Bread? This recipe is tried and true. It’s been in the family for many years now and I always have to make it to go with our Corned Beef!
So, are my irish roots showing yet? I've got my irish pride out today, that much is true. I love it when St. Patrick's Day rolls around. It isn't just special for that reason alone. Oh, no. No, no, no! It's also my red-haired, smart aleck of a father's birthday!…
Read MoreWelp. With my kids school being on extended Spring Break for at least another week, I thought I would spend some time baking. These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls were pretty much at the top of the list to make because… It’s strawberry season and who can say no to a homemade cinnamon roll of any kind?
These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are scratch made with a lightly sweetened cake and a quick and easy strawberry filling. Over the top is a lightened up cream cheese drizzle that really takes these sweet bites of heaven to the next level…
Read MoreI realized that it had been a hot minute since I made any sort of unicorn inspired recipe, so… I had to fix that today. When I said I was going to keep things fun and bright during Spring Break here, I wasn’t kidding! This Rainbow Unicorn Swiss Roll is as delicious as it is pretty.
This is a vanilla based cake that’s colored in the best of ways and rolled up with a lightly sweetened cream cheese filling. It’s great as a sweet breakfast option, brunch, or even as dessert. Really there wouldn’t be any bad time of day to have rainbow amazingness in your life…
