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…

Strawberry Cashew Granola
The best thing about Spring so far has been buying produce that’s not potatoes or shipped from the other side of the country at the supermarket. I even got suckered into buying a plant just because it was on sale and comes from a local town; I’m a marketer’s dream. After a long, exciting weekend…
Homemade Strawberry Syrup
The best part about making anything at home is the flavors. Artificial dyes and ingredients just never taste as good as the real deal. You can buy strawberry flavored maple syrup that vaguely tastes like skittles with absolutely no maple syrup in it, but why do that when you can make something with actual strawberries?…
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…
4 Killer Potato Recipes
It’s no secret that I love potatoes. They aren’t the healthiest vegetable for you by any stretch of the imagination but there’s not much you can’t do with some potatoes, oil, salt and pepper. Besides—they’re gluten-free naturally and less than a dollar a pound so there’s a lot to love. I make potatoes a lot…
Mushroom and Herb Cheese Omelette
A lot of the best food just isn’t very photogenic. Eggs and melted cheese always taste good without fail, but they don’t come off as pretty on a plate. Still—how could you say no to making anything with melted cheese? I’m not a big fan of mushrooms on their own but they add a great…
Maple Hazelnut Granola
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe for granola. That’s mostly because I’ve been reluctant to pay $7 for a bag of gluten-free rolled oats at the grocery store near me. But this week I finally caved in because I’d missed a bowl of hot, soft oatmeal in the morning and chewy, crunchy…
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…
White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
I find it very easy to get addicted to certain ingredients. Lately for me it’s been white chocolate baking chunks from Whole Foods. I try not to eat them straight out of the bag and actually make recipes with them, but these kind of things happen. To finish off the bag and keep myself from…
