I’ve got a thing for cookies. Especially oatmeal cookies. I think it’s because they seem healthy. I mean, all those oats are just chock-full of fiber, and that’s a good thing, right? The great thing about these particular cookies is that they really are pretty good for you. Full of nut butters, nuts, and oats… Continue reading Nutty Oatmeal Chip Cookies

Double Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake
My husband took me out for Valentine’s Day about bought the most amazing piece of cheesecake for our dessert. I’ve never had anything like it – it was the perfect chocolate food. Smooth, silky, and rich, it was absolutely wonderful. So color me thrilled when he decided later that he’d try to make one for… Continue reading Double Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake
Garlic Alfredo Pasta
Every night’s a good night for pasta, right? When a meeting got thrown into the mix at the last minute, the meal I had planned wouldn’t work. I was stumped – I had a beautiful, cook-and-serve-immediately dinner on the brain, and now we needed something that could be prepped ahead of time. That’s where… Continue reading Garlic Alfredo Pasta
Soft and Chewy Oatmeal-Chip Cookies
I know a recipe’s good when someone asks me to make it again. Or when it disappears really, really fast. That’s what happened with these cookies. They were gone overnight – literally (we did share a few with some kiddie friends) and then everyone started clamoring for more. These cookies are just that good. While… Continue reading Soft and Chewy Oatmeal-Chip Cookies
Slow Cooker Mongolian Chicken
That’s why I was excited to find this recipe. It sounded so good to me – and yet we didn’t have all of the original ingredients, so we played around a little bit. We ended up with something that takes a few minutes to throw together and then cooks on its own. There are… Continue reading Slow Cooker Mongolian Chicken
Baked Supreme Pizza Dip
Sometimes I just crave pizza. You know – the gooey, melt-y cheese, the spicy meats, the abundance of veggies. That doesn’t mean that I always want to make a pizza, though, or that I’m interested in the crust, because as good as it can be, somehow I never get hungry for that specific part. That’s… Continue reading Baked Supreme Pizza Dip
Healthy Burrito Bowls
I planned to make something new last week – a new kind of healthy Mexican recipe that the Big Helper and I were excited about. Until one ingredient didn’t behave as expected. At the very last minute, I needed to change things up, and these burrito bowls were the result. We really liked them. The veggies… Continue reading Healthy Burrito Bowls
Cheesy Pizza Dip
I love appetizers. My family teases me about that, because sometimes I’d much rather munch my way through dinner than have a typical meal. That’s why I love this recipe so much. You get all the taste of pizza with the fun of an appetizer. It’s shareable and fun but super tasty, too.
{Soft and Chewy} Chocolate Chip Cookies
In college my friends and I used to get together to bake on vacations. There was never time for that during the school terms, but we all enjoyed making things, and the creative outlet was great during our time off. This recipe came from one of those friends. I think of her every time I… Continue reading {Soft and Chewy} Chocolate Chip Cookies
{Fresh and Cool} Banana Bars
Some people think of bananas in the spring or summertime, but we eat bananas all the time. They’re hearty and delicious, and so this recipe works even in the shorter, beautiful fall days. I love to bake. It doesn’t matter if it’s cookies, muffins, for ourselves or someone else, it’s just fun to take a… Continue reading {Fresh and Cool} Banana Bars
