I haven’t always loved avocado. When I was little I thought it tasted funny. Thankfully I came to my senses somewhere down the road and have learned to love the creamy, dreamy green fruit. Julia loves it, too. She could (and often does) eat “aco” with a spoo …
I like to consider myself the Pantry Princess. I’m usually pretty good at coming up with a delicious meal or snack out of things I already have on hand. I try my best to only go to the grocery store once a week (it cuts down on spending, folks), so if something comes up …
It’s the final day of Fall Treat Week. I hope you’ve enjoyed the scrumptious goodies that I’ve shared. I’ve certainly enjoyed coming up with them and tasting them myself. The Duke’s been a pretty good sport about this project. too. Our final trea …
Today’s Fall Treat is spooky delicious and scary cute! Monster Munch is perfect for every little ghoul and goblin. It’s got sweet candy corn and raisins, as well as salty pretzels, peanuts and oyster crackers. The melted white chocolate is the decadent glue that h …

I feel like scones are the under appreciated breakfast food. We all love biscuits, pancakes, waffles, cinnamon rolls, and bagels, but scones tend to get the shaft. I, for one, LOVE scones. Panera has the best scones ever…cinnamon is the best flavor (in my humble opinion …
Today is the first day of Spring which makes me oh so happy! To celebrate the warm weather we’ve been having, we decided to grill a pizza over the weekend. Correction. The Duke grilled the pizza. I’m afraid of the grill. But I did all of the prep work. I was reall …
I was definitely a Toaster Strudel kind of kid. Pop Tarts? No thanks. I’ll have a hot and flaky pastry pocket filled with a warm and sweet center, please! This is my best effort at recreating a healthier Toaster Strudel that is every bit as delicious. Or, if you want my …
