Cookie recipes can be hard sometimes. You need to preheat the oven, mix the ingredients in a certain order, chill and slice the dough sometimes—it’s usually more work than I want to do for a quick sweet fix. I love macaroons since they’re about as easy a cookie as you can make and still have…

Green Bean Almondine Quinoa
Green beans are definitely not the sexiest of vegetables. I think they took a hit in the 50s when green bean casseroles were all the rage and they never really recovered from that. That’s a shame because cooked just right they can be delicious! I love the idea of pairing green beans and almonds. But…
White Chocolate Cherry Almond Bark
After Friday’s post you might be a little sick of hearing about bark but hopefully this recipe will change your mind. White chocolate has been slowly but surely growing on me over the past few months. It’s so sweet and smooth; I don’t love it on its own but with other flavors it’s the perfect…
Bark, Bark, Bark
Yesterday I was supposed to go to the store and pick up ingredients to make bark last night. Before I could it started raining, so that never happened. Sure, it stopped raining and the sun came back out but by that time I was home and too comfortable to do more than look at bark…
Easy Black Bean Salad
I’m usually too tired to want to cook at night; during the Summer I have the lovely excuse of not wanting to turn on a stove or a grill because it’s already too hot. That’s why I love bean salad recipes: You never have to cook them and they’re easy to throw together. It’s really…
Gluten-Free Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
I saw a lot of carrot cake recipes last week leading up to Easter while I was planning to make one for yesterday, too. I’d forgotten it’s sort of an Eastery dessert. Easter is also the time I celebrate my birthday with my extended family and carrot cake has always been one of my favorite…
Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
The last time I made chocolate peanut butter, I meant to use it for making cookies. But before I knew it the jar was licked clean and that was that. Oh well—tasty food is never a loss. But since I recently had a jar of dark chocolate dreams, I was determined to make cookies out…
Roasted Asparagus
It’s exciting to have fresh produce back on grocery store shelves. I was getting tired of looking at potatoes and squash, but now asparagus, berries, and avocado are all plump and on sale and it actually makes cooking seem less like a chore now. My favorite method of cooking is still to chuck things in…
Simple Recipes For Easter
Easter is a week from today. Wasn’t New Years just a few weeks ago? I guess at some point I should pick and work on a resolution… If you actually gave something up for Lent, Easter is the best time to gorge yourself on it and still feel accomplished for the last forty days. If…
Buttercream Shots In Chocolate Cups
This I know to be true: There are cake people and there are frosting people. And I most definitely am a frosting person. I’m guilty of taking a slice of cake and just eating the frosting. I’m also guilty of running my finger along the edge of the cake before it’s been cut into just…
