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…

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…
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…
Hazelnut Mocha Trail Mix
Surprisingly for all the sweet teeth I have and my love of chocolate I’ve never been a fan of the fancy drinks at Starbucks. I love the occasional bitterness of black coffee but more often than not I’ll choose green or herbal tea, and if you try swirling chocolate syrup and whipped cream into your…
Easy Nutella Brownies
A lot of the time when it comes to food blogging there’s usually a pressure to make everything homemade. Homemade cake. Homemade frosting. Homemade powdered sugar. Homemade butter. Everything. This recipe has just about nothing homemade. If you want to make your own Nutella and brownies from scratch that’s fine; invite me over when you…
Bailey’s Hot Chocolate Truffles
Spring is usually the end of hot chocolate and Bailey’s on the rocks, but with the weather we’ve been having this week I think it’s perfectly alright to keep those on the table for a little while longer. I wanted to make these truffles for a friend and also as an excuse to pick up…
Gluten-Free Thin Mints & Other Girl Scout Cookies
Needless to say Girl Scout cookie season is a lot less exciting when you can’t have gluten. You feel a little bit guilty walking past the 10-year old girls trying to get you to overpay for charity while secretly wishing you could have some Thin Mints or Samoas. Last year I made these gluten-free thin…
Healthy Chocolate Walnut Bread
If February is the month of chocolate, March is probably the month of dessert detox. I could never give up chocolate cold-turkey, though; I would never want to. There are always ways to lighten up chocolate treats to make them better for your every day. Stonyfield Farm asked some of their Clean Plate Club bloggers…
Almond Butter Fudge + Giveaway
It’s no surprise that I’m a fan of almonds in all form on this blog, whether its almond butter, almond flour or just almonds. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around where the milk comes from though. The Almond Board of California alerted me that tomorrow, February 16th, is National Almond Day and what…
Coconut Pistachio Bark
I know Christmas was almost a month ago but bear with me for one more Christmas recipe. It’s easy to find delicious red food but green? Not so much. Unless you want to sneak spinach, kale, or peppers into a dessert, it’s hard to get the red and green theme naturally. This bark looks like…
