Double Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Biscotti
Anise-free biscotti that is. There are few things on the planet that I dislike, and star anise or anything that tastes like black licorice is one of them. This may be why I dislike fennel so much, unless someone cooks the crap out of it. Then it’s ok. Maybe you can begin to understand why […]
Apple and Carrot Spice Muffins
There’s not much better out there than a really good, hearty muffin. Muffins are such a diverse food. You can have sweet muffins, savory muffins, sweet and savory muffins. You can make them as healthy as you want or as unhealthy as you want. The choice is really yours. I really wanted to try to […]
Zeppoles with a Stout, Chocolate Chili Sauce
Who doesn’t absolutely love a donut? Sure zeppoles are bite-sized little heart attacks, but they are DELICIOUS bite-sized little heart attacks. What’s so great about zeppoles is that they can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. Or they can be super simple and you can make elaborate sauces with them! This is […]
Steak and Eggs with Tomatillo Salsa
So I’m trying to get Zach into eating eggs. He’s never been much of an egg eater. He says they make him sick, but I’ve seen him eat eggs a couple of times now and he has NOT gotten sick. I think the IDEA of an egg makes him sick, but I will try not […]
Homemade Pop Tarts (or toaster strudels?) with Sugar Cookie Glaze
So I lied before. I thought I was getting better from what I think was still the flu, but I was completely wrong. I have spent the last two days pretty much bed ridden, but I can honestly say that I think I am FINALLY getting better. No where near 100%, but I can at […]
Banana Walnut Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Well it’s the weekend, and we were craving something super sweet and breakfast(y). We haven’t done a true breakfast in a while, so what the heck. We combined all of our favorite ingredients into one scrumptious pancake. These buttermilk pancakes are stuffed with bananas, walnuts and dark chocolate chips, and it’s everything you could imagine […]
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Granola Bars
Granola bars can be so annoying sometimes. I feel like every time we buy a store-bought granola bar, it isn’t how we expected it to be. It either lacked a certain sweetness…or saltiness. Most of the time they are WAY to hard. They get stuck in the bottom of the packaging, and you’d be lucky […]
Winter Fruit Salad with Citrus and Honey Dressing
This winter fruit salad is the perfect side dish!
Time to use up all of those eggs! – Buttermilk and Garlic Quiche
My family was just here for the holidays, and this quiche recipe was originally supposed to be for my mom since she loves quiche and she is on this new paleo-diet kick. Time ran away from us though and I didn’t have time to make it for her when she was here. I of course […]
