In celebration of my three month blog anniversary (YAY!), I am posting the recipe to one of my all-time favorite chocolate cake creations to date. I actually made these for my Dad’s birthday (it’s belated, but we had so many other sweets that weekend he wanted to delay the dessert I made him to another…

Healthy Baked Carrot Cake Oatmeal: A Blend of Steel-Cut Oats, Whole Milk, Shredded Carrots, Raisins, Walnuts, Honey, Coconut Sugar and Vanilla Extract, Topped with a Sweet Cream Cheese Glaze
Easter…bunnies…carrot cake? It kind of all goes together! This healthy baked carrot cake oatmeal will definitely hit the spot any time of the year – especially if you are a carrot cake lover like me. Although I would LOVE to have cake for breakfast every day, this is a pretty terrific alternative! I researched some…
Spirulina Shamrock Shake: Only 10 Ingredients, Packed with Nutrients, Vitamins and Pure Ingredients Including Milk, Spinach, Yogurt, Banana, Honey and Spirulina Powder
I’m sure many of you have seen the ads, articles, etc. saying that a McDonald’s Shamrock Shake has 54 ingredients, 73 grams of sugar and 530 calories….a serving. Which is kind of insane, if you ask me. I had a Shamrock Shake once in college (mostly because a friend was shocked I never had one…
Baked Irish Breakfast Oatmeal: Steel-Cut Oats, Whole Milk, Apple Sauce, Honeycrisp Apple Pieces, Honey, Cinnamon and Vanilla, With a Crisp Coconut Sugar and Granola Top
St. Patrick’s day is right around the corner! One of my favorite parts about celebrating any holiday is the food – especially ones with a unique cultural heritage. I am (supposedly) 1/4 Irish, so I figured now is a good time to learn more about and embrace my heritage. Additionally, I have a trip to…
Dad’s Famous Pancakes (or, as he calls them, “Dadcakes”): Whole Wheat Pancake Mix, Stuffed with Fresh Blueberries, Pecan Pieces and Light Brown Sugar, Topped with Whipped Cream and Maple Syrup
My family has come a LONG way in our pancake game – for many years, we used the “shake” containers and just added water. In the past few years though, along with a change in eating habits and food preferences in general, we started experimenting. Especially my Dad. I rarely order pancakes out (I don’t…
Dark Chocolate Chip and Dried Sour Cherry Butter Cookies: Crunchy, Sweet and Salty Butter Cookies Stuffed with Rich Chocolate Pieces and Chewy Bits of Dried Cherry, Sprinkled with Cane Sugar and Sea Salt
Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! 🙂 I hope your day is filled with lots of love, laughter and those you hold near and dear. I’ll be celebrating this weekend with my favorite guy and lots of good food and local adventures – but today I got to celebrate by participating in a cookie contest at work! Nothing better than…
My Version of a PA Dutch Favorite: Baked Mini Fastnacht Doughnuts for Fat Tuesday
“Where did you get this recipe?” – my Mom’s immediate response to trying one of these baked mini Fastnachts. She couldn’t believe it was something I created – and that they were baked – because she felt like they had tasted spot-on like the ones she would get from Lancaster. Coming from her, that means…
Decadent Chocolate Strawberry Crepes: Thin Whole Wheat Cocoa Crepes, Stuffed with Chocolate Hazelnut Spread and Fresh Strawberries, Topped with Whipped Cream and Chocolate Drizzle
What’s more romantic than French cuisine on Valentine’s Day? Probably very few things. And these crepes are just the ticket. I always felt that crepes would be something I would “definitely have to order out” because they looked so complicated to make. But they are, in fact, entirely possible to make at home. And, actually,…
Overnight Chocolate Cherry Muesli: Muesli Mix Soaked in Milk and Cocoa Powder, Topped with Black Cherries, Sweet Cherry Preserves, Dried Sour Cherries, Walnuts and Chocolate Chips
One week until VALENTINE’S DAY!!! Yes, I know, it’s a corny holiday. But it’s a great way to spread love to people you care about! And what better way to do that then surprising a significant other, partner, husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, friend, family member (really whoever!) with a sweet breakfast treat! I was first introduced…
Easy Honey Buffalo Cauliflower “Wings”: Lightly Breaded Cauliflower Florets, Covered in a Delicious Honey Buffalo Sauce and Baked to Crisp Perfection
First of all (I’ll admit) – these turned out WAY better than I expected them too! They were so good that I wiped through an entire tray with three other people in less than a half hour. So, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. I actually don’t really like cauliflower (unless it’s blended into a soup or…
