Sometimes trying a new recipe in the midst of an intense chocolate craving is risky. Really risky. But these coconut chocolate bars completely exceeded my expectations when I made them to appease jus...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, discussing pilaf isn’t the most scintillating food-talk we could be having, especially in light of treats like this and this. But it is ab...
I’ve waited months, all in the name of snapping a semi-decent photo, to share this delectable lasagna recipe with you. The delay has seriously benefited my family since we’ve enjoyed this...
*Since I will be away from my computer for the next few days, I decided to pick the winners early, because, I just KNEW you would all be on the edge of your seat until I announced the winners and I d...
Blueberry. Coconut. Lemon. A brilliant triple combination, if you ask me. This cake is deliciously moist and light and tastes like a perfect muffin in cake form. And the lemon sauce? Don’t get ...
Before waxing poetic about the deliciousness of this pie, I’m going to give you a few “outs” in case you are looking at this recipe saying “there’s no way I would make a...
It may seem like a small thing but those darn muffin cups can sure make a mess of your cupboards. Until I spotted this tip on Pinterest, my muffin cups were a nightmare. Opened packages were scattere...
At the risk of sounding completely obsessive and without personal restraint (who, me?), I have to confess that I made these wraps for lunch one day and was so utterly shocked by their deliciousness t...
The components of this meal may seem a bit odd (apples and cheese stuffed inside chicken…come again??) but it is truly delicious. And guess what? It is quick and easy. Basically a good, old-fas...
Now may not be the best time to admit this, but I don’t like snickerdoodles. I never have and sadly, I don’t think I ever will. But I have received many a request for a snickerdoodle reci...
Ok, ok, I admit that “fun” in the title of the cake is a bit cheesy, but I’ll readily admit another point: this cake really is fun. The entire dessert is less about the chocolate ca...
Now if that doesn’t look like a plate full of love, I don’t know what does. Taco pie. And not your every day taco pie, either. This updated taco pie recipe gets a fabulous start from a {s...
As mentioned last week, I went and had our sweet Miss Camryn last Wednesday. She is beyond precious and although the chaos of life with four little boys and now a little girl has not ended, we are ab...
I love sugar cookies. Old-fashioned sugar cookies. Drop sugar cookies (with lemon!). And any other type of sugar cookies, so why not brown sugar-sugar cookies? Not only are the flavor of these cookie...
Let me tell you why I love these little semi-homemade raviolis: a) They benefit from using wonton wrappers which means they are quick and easy and you don’t have to mess with homemade pasta dou...
Truth be told, I wish every recipe I post could be as awe-inspiring as this or this or this. But quite simply, sometimes, while the every day side dishes of the world (like this rice pilaf) aren̵...
Whenever I need a recipe for chocolate cupcakes, I usually use the one from this recipe. It is originally from the back of the Hershey’s cocoa can. And listen, I love it, but a few gripes I hav...
Many of you are familiar with the layout of this here little website. But in case you are new to these parts or have been around long enough that you’ve forgotten, I wanted to give a quick upda...
I kind of sort of feel like I should apologize for all the pasta meals I’ve been posting lately. But ethically, I can’t apologize because they are each so delicious in their own right tha...
What is it about food in a jar that makes it so much more fun, appealing, and cute? I’m a sucker for mixes in jars, salads in jars, anything in jars, really. The food tastes better simply becau...
I have an old, old recipe on here for a creamy fettuccine. It’s delicious. But not exactly calorie-friendly, thanks to my BFF, heavy cream. When my friend, Lesli, sent me the recipe I’m p...
I scanned through my cookie section a while back and was shocked to find I didn’t have a recipe posted for the popular and classic Peanut Blossom Cookies (you know, the peanutty cookie base top...
Ten or so years ago when my husband and I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, one of our favorite restaurants to eat at, when our poor grad student budget would allow, was European Connection (which I bel...
Love this meal. Love it. Hearty. Simple. Quick. And downright delicious. Stroganoff is a homey, comforting way to enjoy dinner and since I already have a few other beef versions that I make often and...
Simple dinners are the order of the day around these parts. With the warm, beautiful weather, it’s hard to want to spend all afternoon in the kitchen when my older boys are finally home from sc...
It’s no secret that we are a nutella-loving household. But these No-Bake Nutella Cheesecakes have definitely taken the devotion to a new level and may just be the tastiest nutella treat to pass...
Whether all would agree or not, I kind of like to think I have a practical, homemade approach to cooking. I’m not whipping out filet mignon every night, but I keep our weekly dinners semi-creat...
