Weekend baking is becoming somewhat of a tradition around here, and this morning was no exception. I woke up Sunday morning around 9:30 with an itch to experiment and finally try some of the recipes that have been patiently waiting for me on my Pinterest boards. After scrolling through endless pictures of baked goods, I settled on muffins because … Continue reading »

Italian Style Hummus Crusted Chicken with Veggies
If you haven’t noticed, I like to put new twists on my favorite recipes. I, unlike most people who stick to tried-and-true methods, always feel the urge to mess around in the kitchen to make a recipe better or simply use different ingredients. Just check out the five million ways I reinvent oatmeal almost every day. With that said, it should be … Continue reading »
Weekend Breakfast: Whole-Wheat Strawberry Vanilla Pancakes
Weekend breakfasts bring back childhood memories for me. When I was younger, my brother and I used to wake up kind of early. When my stomach started grumbling after an hour of watching Scooby Doo, we would run into my parents’ bedroom. After poking, prodding and jumping on the bed, my dad would finally awaken, and we would beg him to make a special breakfast. Every weekend we … Continue reading »
Perfect Holiday Topping – Glazed Pecans
I’m sort of a bad person. Do you remember those glazed pecans I made a few weeks ago. You know – the ones on top of my Baked Sweet Potato with Cinnamon Apples and Chicken Sausage? If you do recall, which I hope you do, I promised to share the recipe for making these glazed pecans. Unfortunately life got in … 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 »

Wipe the drool off your mouth, computer screen and keyboard, and walk your butt into the kitchen. I promise you won’t regret it. By the way, this recipe is perfect for a … Continue reading »
Friday’s Favorite Food Finds: Healthy Homemade Bread
Gosh I love bread, and who doesn’t? Now that I think about it, people with gluten allergies might hate it, but substitutes exist for the people unlucky enough to be denied the experience of eating a hot slice of toast with butter, an ooey gooey panini, or an awesome peanut butter and banana sandwich (a.k.a. my specialty). If I had … Continue reading »
WIAW # 5 – Hurricane Food
What did I do while locked inside for two days due to Hurricane Sandy? Cook and bake. Needless to say, I finally taste-tested some recipes that have hung around on my Pinterest boards for a while. Overall, everything was delicious, and I’ve definitely found some new go-to meals and snacks. Some of these scrumptious eats made … Continue reading »
Balsamic Strawberry Salad
This salad is dressed to impress. The toppings make it fancy-schmancy, but it’s actually super simple and inexpensive to make. I can’t be the only person who thinks it’s insane to pay $9 for an “artisanal” salad I can whip up at home for under $2 per serving. Does anyone agree with me? Anyway, this sweet and savory salad makes the perfect light meal or side … Continue reading »
It’s Been a While
Guess who’s back? Rather than try to explain my absence, I’ll just say that the summer was MUCH busier than I had planned (a.k.a. interning at the State Attorney’s Office, working at Panera, taking an online class…) I know it’s been more than two months since my last post, but don’t think for one second … Continue reading »
