The other day I was talking with a friend about how when we don't feel like cooking dinner, frequently we eat cereal. Usually this cereal is store-bought, full of sugar, and mostly empty calories. Don't get me wrong, I love a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch as much as the next girl, but sometimes I want something a bit healthier that still feels like a treat. There are all kinds of granola recipes floating across the internet, but I love this one because peanut butter and chocolate is one ... continue reading...
Cheddar Chive Buttermilk Biscuits
Every time a holiday comes around where biscuits or rolls are typically served, I confess that I usually buy the pre-made version from the refrigerator section of the grocery store.

These little fruit tarts are a little bit easier to make than the ones my dad made. I use a mini muffin and a sugar cookie base with a cream cheese filling. You can top these beauties ... continue reading...
Pesto Cheese Bread
There are a few things that just taste like summer to me, and pesto is one of them. I have a little garden in our backyard, which unfortunately doesn't get enough sunlight for me to grow things like tomatoes and peppers. But I can grow lettuce, kale, rainbow chard, and herbs really well. Last year I grew one basil plant, which clearly wasn't enough to support my love of pesto.
