Carrot Coconut Pineapple Muffins

April 18, 2013

I don’t know about you, but I keep forgetting it’s only April.  Maybe it’s the near 90-degree days here in Florida lately, or the fact that it will be “summer” according to my grad school in just three weeks, or the fact that all I want to eat for dinner is salad and ice cream [...]

Coconut Almond Granola

April 15, 2013

Mmm.  I may be addicted to coconut oil.  There are worse things in life, right? I almost always keep a batch of homemade granola around these days, because well, when you’re like me and eat Greek yogurt at least once a day, you need something fun to top it with.  I know you yogurt/granola folks [...]

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

April 7, 2013

Hello!  It feels like it’s been forever since I last blogged a recipe.  On a chaos scale of one to ten, I’ve been feeling a bit like a twelve.  You know the feeling, right? ;) … so, if you only see posts once a week for awhile, you know why. A quick diversion from tonight’s recipe – guess who [...]

Orange Cinnamon Rolls

April 1, 2013

Happy April Fool’s Day!  I hope you weren’t fooled yet today.  I have played plenty of April Fool’s jokes over the years, but I have played plenty of April Fool’s jokes over the years, but didn’t do anything this year.  April 1st snuck up on me!  Anyway… no joking around here, I promise.  This recipe is [...]

Robin Egg Sugar Cookies

March 28, 2013

Oh, you know I couldn’t let Easter “hop” by without a special treat. My sister texted me a couple weeks ago asking me which holiday has the best candy.  I say Easter wins, hands down… if not for the Peeps alone.  I mean, Peeeeps!  Anyway, what do you think? Although Peeps are definitely my favorite Easter [...]

Mini Cinnamon Buns

March 25, 2013

A few weeks ago, I went a little crazy with a pizza dough sale.  The dough was on sale at Earth Fare for $1 each (a 16-ounce portion), so I grabbed a bunch.  I froze some of the dough, but inevitably, I still had some leftover dough in my fridge that needed using up after [...]

Monster Cookies

March 21, 2013

I can’t believe I’ve never posted a recipe for monster cookies.  I know I’ve made them numerous times, but apparently they’ve been a little blog-shy.  Well, that all changes today, folks.  Because today is the official start of March Madness. Do you fill out a bracket in March?  Since I bleed orange, I obviously do. [...]

Oatmeal Pear Muffins

March 18, 2013

I know I’ve shared my love for the new Chobani banana yogurt, but Chobani has another new yogurt, pear.  Have you tried it?  Since I tend to compare pears to apples, I’d have to admit that I think I still like the apple cinnamon Chobani more (upstate New Yorker = big apple fan).  That said, [...]

Irish Soda Bread

March 14, 2013

Who is excited for Saint Patrick’s Day?  Green is definitely the color of the week!  I have to admit, even though I’m 50% Irish, I rarely embrace any Irish traditions (and hating beer doesn’t help).  So, instead of making something fabulously green to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day (I’m holding out for mint frozen yogurt and [...]

Peanut Butter and Jelly Granola

March 11, 2013

Hello and Happy Monday!  I hope your week is off to a good start.  I have the week off for spring break, so I am looking forward to a little relaxation.  Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to relax enough for you as well. My weekend was fairly low key since I’d been feeling quite under [...]
