O. M. G. Do you see the texture of these cookies? Seriously – smooth, practically melt-in-your-mouth, and dark with cocoa. These are some rich and fudgy little guys, that’s for sure.

A simple piece of toast with butter and jam is one of my favorite little snacks. It may be because I was a toast fiend growing up (I often at three or four slices for breakfast!) but there’s something so comforting about the warm, toasty bread topped with a sweet, fruity compote.

I’ve been on a bit of a salad kick recently. With the warmer weather moving in, I find that most nights I’m content with a yummy, fresh salad for my dinner, possibly with some hummus or a piece of toast on the side. To be perfectly honest, often the salads I throw together are pretty … More Spring Salad
It’s funny: cereal is one of those things that most people never think to try making at home. We’re so used to going to the grocery store and scanning the aisle of brightly-colored cardboard boxes until we find our favorite – whether that’s Fruit Loops, all-natural Cocoa Crisps, or even plain old Cheerios. Personally, I … More Maple Coconut Granola
Last week I professed my love for all things strawberry, and this little crush just keeps getting stronger!
