Egg and avocado lovers unite! I like to call these Baked Eggs in Avocado, Egg in a Cado. I’ve been seeing this recipe for a few years all over the internet and have wanted to try it every single time. But then, I’m distracted by shiny objects throughout the day and forget all about it. Thank goodness for…

Apple Banana Oat Muffins
Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring. I think these muffins are a testament to that. Sure, they don’t taste like those jumbo sized, sugar-laden kinds you get at the coffee shop, but I happen to think they’re darn tasty. These muffins are made without refined sugars, but they’re also nutrient dense and full of fiber. They…
Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing
Man, do I love blue cheese! I think most people either love it or hate it. Blue Cheese Dressing also holds a special place in my heart. I love it on cobb salads and wings. I’m often disappointed with watered down store-bought options that taste almost plastic-like. The ones they keep in the refrigerator section…

Friday is here, rejoice! Today is the last recipe for beans from Alton Brown’s Cool Beans Episode. I know you’re all sad, but we’ll get through it together 😉 Today we have classic baked beans. This was my first time ever making them, I have absolutely no idea what took me so long. I just adored…

Black Bean Salad
Good morning and happy Monday! Today I’m bringing you part 2 of Alton’s Pantry Raid III: Cool Beans Episode, Black Bean Salad. I rarely make a big ol’ pot of beans and I’m starting to wonder why I don’t do this more often. They’re good for you, filling and darn affordable. This recipe doesn’t require…
Hummus
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know I have a slight obsession with Alton Brown. In fact, I’m making every recipe from his show Good Eats. I’m currently halfway through Season 3 of 15 on MyGoodEats.com. I’ve got a ways to go, but I’m enjoying the journey. I didn’t want you guys miss any of…
Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
A moist, lightly spiced cake topped with decadent cream cheese frosting. That’s what I like to call a WINNER! Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese frosting is one of my favorites. Confession: I don’t make a lot of non-chocolate desserts because my husband is a self-proclaimed chocoholic. Although, he did order apple cobbler the other night at dinner, so maybe…
Garden Update
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you probably remember I planted my first garden back in October. I thought today I’d share with you my progress. I live in a warm climate, so planting in October is absolutely normal. I planted things that would be easy for my first time. I watered and talked to my…
