Bisquick has met its match. Introducing . . . Whole-Wheat Cheese and Herb Drop Biscuits I made these dense-but-fluffy biscuits for my family’s Christmas dinner, and they were a huge hit. I think my brother wolfed down seven at dinner alone! In fact, only one little biscuit remained the next morning, which I quickly patted with … Continue reading »

Double Chocolate Gingerbread Nut Bars

Happy Christmas Eve! I just wanted to pop in quickly to share a recipe for an awesome holiday treat I made Saturday night. As I mentioned earlier,  I had an itch to bake because Saturday was quite chilly by Florida standards. I concocted the following Christmas treat as I snuggled up in a blanket to watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation by a warm, crackling fire. The following … Continue reading »

WIAW #9: Pretty Eggtastic

I apologize for posting a bit later than usual on this wonderful Wednesday before Christmas. My mom woke me up around 6 a.m. to see if I was interested in substitute teaching for the day, and I said yes. Thus, I didn’t have time to write and post my Tuesday eats for WIAW until now.

(Almost) Grownup Lunchbox Series: Goodbye D.C.

Friday marked my last day as a Washington, D.C. intern. Although I’m excited to return home to Florida for the holidays, I can’t seem to pull myself away from the city and its charm. Every day I walk down through the streets trying to take it all in – the monuments, the metro, the chilly weather and just the energy in general. Despite … Continue reading »

(Almost) Grownup Lunchbox Series – Italian Inspiration

Preparing new mid-day meals took a backseat to traveling and finishing my Washington Center portfolio last week. But don’t worry –  I won’t let you start the first work week of December without some lunchbox inspiration! Since I didn’t have time to create new recipes of my own, I thought I’d share a few new lunch ideas I discovered from around … Continue reading »

Dreaming of Holiday Sweets

Aren’t the holidays the best excuse to bake? They most certainly are for me! In fact, discovering holiday baking recipes on blogs, websites and Pinterest has been my go-to method of procrastination. I’m even daydreaming about cookies, muffins, brownies, trifles and casseroles as I write this post! Even though I’m not at UF this semester, I definitely have the “finals fever” (a.k.a. the panic and mental … Continue reading »
