I've been MIA for a little bit. Been working on the ol' career. Gettin' new jobs and whatnot. Also my husband and I buying our first house. Pretty big stuff. But I HAVE been cooking and baking. Like these adorable little nest cookies. I know I've said it before, but I'm a sucker for seasonal … Continue reading Coconut Macaroon Nest Cookies (aka WELCOME EASTER!)
She Speaks #GoalForIt Unboxed has arrived!
I recently (just yesterday!) received my Unboxed package. The #GoalForIt box I received came with a super sweet pen (my Grandma's favorite kind, I swear I absconded with like 10 of those things when I was a kid, sorry Nana), some cool sticky notes to write down my goals, or steps to my goals, and a … Continue reading She Speaks #GoalForIt Unboxed has arrived!
Stuffed Jalapenos
So I made these over the weekend for meals during the week because I was getting a little bored with my "usual" meals. I actually bought so many jalapenos at the store that I broke the cashier's scale and he had to do a hard reset on it. Whoops. You can really stuff any kind … Continue reading Stuffed Jalapenos
Donuts!
I made these donut on a whim yesterday. I bought a donut pan about 2 weeks ago and decided to make some after work. The donut pan isn't a mini donut pan, but it doesn't really seem like it's full size either. Medium donut pan? Either way, this recipe made 9 decent sized donuts for … Continue reading Donuts!
Peanut Butter Confetti Cake Cups
Peanut butter should be put in everything - because peanut butter is life. I do feel for those with peanut allergies, but there are great alternatives now like sunflower seed butter and whatnot. But for me, peanut butter is life. I could make "real" confetti cake cups with coconut butter, possibly some cake mix, some … Continue reading Peanut Butter Confetti Cake Cups
Peppermint Cups
I have an obsession with all things peppermint. And let me tell you, when I discovered Newman's Own peppermint cups I went absolutely crazy. Those little things are the best I've ever had. So I decided - why not make my own? I'm just a sucker for homemade projects. That combined with the fact that I … Continue reading Peppermint Cups
Cowboy Cookies – one of the many variations
So cowboy cookies can be made with a variety of different ingredients, and truth be told I make them differently every time. It's purely based on what I have in my cupboards at the time. Pretty much the only thing that remains the same is the flour, the sugar, and the oats. The type of … Continue reading Cowboy Cookies – one of the many variations
Confetti Pancakes – AKA Birthday Cake Pancakes
So these were my Sunday pancakes. I know - I normally do pancake Saturday, but Saturday was a busy day for me. And I bought Walden Farms chocolate syrup and I really wanted to try it. I had reservations about how I expected it to taste, but as it turns out, I think it's one … Continue reading Confetti Pancakes – AKA Birthday Cake Pancakes
Banana Blueberry Chia Muffins
I made these yesterday because I accidently bought too many bananas. I planned on eating bananas and blueberries for my morning fruit at work but I saw Opal apples on sale at Sprout's and had to get some (they're my favorite apples). Sprout's also had blueberries on sale so I grabbed a bunch and froze … Continue reading Banana Blueberry Chia Muffins
Lenny & Larry’s Complete Cookies
So one of my most favorite non-dairy snacks are these damn cookies. **This is not endorsed by Lenny & Larry's, this is my own personal opinion! They are non-dairy and high in protein. And damn are they good. The 4 oz cookies I usually cut in half and have for 2 snacks (or share with … Continue reading Lenny & Larry’s Complete Cookies
