There are about as many recipes for guacamole as there are people making it. And with Summer around the corner, what better reason to stir up a batch, open a few beers (Mexican beers of course) and invite some friends over. Guacamole, at its base it basically 4 ingredients. Avocados, lime juice, cilantro, and onion….

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Today I’m swooning over these chocolate chunk cookies. They’re sweet, with big chunks of melted chocolate, crispy on the outside, and chewy and tender on the inside. I’ve been playing with this recipe for the better part of a year (that’s a lot of cookies). Changing the sugars, flours, oils, and egg substitutes in each…
DIY Kale Chips
I have a bit of confession today. I’m kind of obsessed with kale chips! After all who doesn’t love chips? Salty and crispy, not to mention the fact that these are actually healthy. Who would feel bad about eat an entire bowl? You basically just ate an entire head of kale! Yes there is salt…
Toasted Coconut Blender Pancakes
Sunday mornings are for sleeping-in, pj’s, and fuzzy socks. For most of us they’re the one day a week we allow ourselves to truly be lazy and just relax. I know that’s the case for me. Truthfully, if it wasn’t for walking the dogs, I might never leave the house. Heck, if I had someone…
Caramel Peanut Popcorn
CARAMEL. PEANUT. POPCORN. Not sure this recipe needs further introduction but just in case you need some convincing… I made my first batch of caramel peanut popcorn about 7 years ago for a family game night. It was an instant success… In fact whenever we organize game nights this popcorn is requested, or at this point…
Holiday Nog
It really doesn’t feel like the holidays without eggnog. Whether its for sipping while decorating the tree and blasting Christmas music, toasting at a holiday party, or for gulping down at 3am when you sneak out of bed for the leftover gingerbread cookies (which has never happened by the way).
Gluten-Free Fudge Brownies
Every once and a while I get the urge to play with gluten-free recipes. I don’t actually have any major issues with gluten, but I’ve found that when I over indulge my body makes sure to let me know. Generally speaking most of the foods I eat throughout the day are naturally gluten-free, but when…
Caramel Swirl Pecan Brownies
A quick and easy brownie recipe, and pretty versatile to be honest. Having invited my parents over for dinner a couple weeks ago, I was looking for something simple to serve for dessert. Cakes and cupcakes seemed too fussy for the mood I was in.
Cranberry Orange Loaf
Coming off of the holidays, I’m finding myself with fridges and freezers that are overflowing with produce and left-overs. We had family visiting from out of town and since everyone was leaving the country to be able to return home, no food could be taken with them. So in an effort to reduce some of…
Rocky Road Cookies
The past week or so I’ve been pumping cookies out of my kitchen at an impressive rate. Mostly an effort to try to get ahead of the Christmas baking while juggling a few other things… Christmas shopping, Christmas decorating, baking, wrapping, cleaning, organizing… not sure how I managed get myself into this mess, but there…
