When you’re a food blogger, you constantly have to choose between making and blogging a holiday recipe a week in advanced and looking crazy celebrating all by yourself or making a recipe for the actual holiday and posting it a few days later late to the game. Usually I choose the latter but this time…

Oat Flour Brownies
If there’s one thing I could make with my eyes closed, it’s brownies. I think my 6th sense is knowing when brownies are done in the oven without a timer. I can tell this is another brownie recipe I’ll come back to time and time again. One commenter mentioned that she uses oat flour in…
No Google Reader? No Problem.
As someone who not only writes a blog but loves reading my share of blogs, too, I worried what would happen once Google announced they’re shutting the door on Google Reader on July 1st. I follow websites through Facebook and Twitter but the majority of blog reading I do comes through RSS feeds. I tweeted…
Roasted Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
At some point recently I could feel myself becoming one of those vegetarians who doesn’t actually eat enough vegetables. Its not that I don’t like them—I love them. I’ll order them off of a menu any chance I get. But more often than not I cook for myself, and by cook I mean make oatmeal,…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
It’s been a busy month. This blog(and cooking anything without a microwave in general) have taken a bit of a back seat. Hopefully someday soon I’ll have a more regular schedule and school off my shoulders but right now sporadic will have to do. Thankfully you can make some pretty great things with a microwave…
Vegetarian Nachos
If I could eat everyday like it were Cinco de Mayo I probably would. Melted cheese, margaritas, fried food—What else could you ask for? We had a small party over the weekend. Nothing fancy. Premade margaritas, a piñata we named and so couldn’t hit, and nachos. That was really all we needed. These are so…
DIY Photography Reflectors
Photography is expensive. Anyone who has picked up photography as a hobby or who does it professionally will tell you that. And my wallet has definitely felt that crunch over the past few years, too. Last May I upgraded my camera to a pre-owned Canon 7D which I absolutely love. At the time I was…
Whole Grain Banana Cake Squares
I always grab bananas at the store to throw in smoothies or have for breakfast. This week I guess I forgot to eat them because they were brown and mushy before I knew it. I’d much rather life hand me brown bananas than lemons because bananas are a lot more fun to bake with. I…
Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
When you find a recipe that just works, you never want to stray from it. This is the third time I’ve posted about these cookies; I didn’t realize that the original recipe post is almost 2 years old until I sat down to write this one. In that time a lot of commenters have made…
Nutella Cheesecake Strawberries
A jar of Nutella never lasts very long in our kitchen. One of my favorite snacks is to take a spoon and just dig in. That’s probably reason enough to stop keeping a jar of Nutella around all the time. I’ve seen cheesecake-stuffed strawberries online for years now and never tried them before these. I…
