7-Layer Brownie Bars
I think it’s about time for a recipe around here, don’t you? 😉 As I was thinking about a topic for a Tuesday post, I realized I hadn’t posted any recipes lately. I have no idea why…I love food! I really enjoy posting recaps of my trip last fall and WIAWs, but sometimes, you just […]
Homemade Clif Bars – Chocolate
As I briefly mentioned in this post the other day, I love Clif bars. They taste great and  provide a good amount of protein and fiber. They’re perfect for a busy schedule when you just need something to hold you over. While I have nothing against buying Clif bars, they’re not exactly cheap, especially when you […]
5-Minute Chocolate Chip Raspberry Mug Cake
When I arrived home last weekend, I noticed there were a few packages of fresh raspberries in the fridge. I love raspberries, so I immediately started thinking of things to make with them. Of course, anything with raspberries is perfect on its own. Buuuuut raspberries + chocolate is even perfecter. So I had the first two […]
Pumpkin Cupcakes
The blogosphere is definitely playing mind games on me. Everyone everywhere is cooking with pumpkin, cinnamon, or apples. But really, it’s only halfway through September!! Part of me feels like I should be clinging on to these last beautiful days of summer instead of preparing for fall… ….but who am I kidding? I love fall […]
Meat Free Monday: Pan Seared Tofu
Through my attempts at Meat Free Mondays/vegetarian cooking, I’ve discovered a few things – things that I wasn’t sure about when I began: Vegetarian cooking can be just as satisfying and delicious as any other type. You really don’t need meat (or nuts or eggs – hello, allergies!) to get enough protein into your diet. […]
Mom’s Spinach Dip
Happy Saturday, everyone! Fall Saturdays in the U.S. mean football. Today there are two games that my dad and brother are watching on TV. While I don’t mind football, I’m not the biggest sports person. What I do like, however, is the fact that oftentimes, football games will turn into get-togethers, complete with friends, family, […]
Amazing Chocolate Cupcakes
Good morning, everyone! I hope that your Septembers are off to a great start, and for my American readers, Happy Labor Day! I just popped by this morning to post an update on one of my recipes. The recipe is for my chocolate cupcakes, which I originally wrote about here (<– click the link). I made […]
Cocoa Fudge Cookies
As I mentioned on Wednesday, I found these cookies through a great site called For the Love of Cooking. However, I wanted to try and experiment and make them healthier. I wasn’t sure if it was going to work out – there are some recipes that you just shouldn’t mess with, you know? – but […]
Meat Free Monday: Stuffed Peppers
One of my 2012 New Year’s Resolutions was to try and make all Mondays “Meat Free Mondays“. (<– Click for a link to more information!) While, in general, I have kind of failed at this mission (there are a few reasons, but mostly its because throwing together a quick ham and cheese sandwich is the […]
Triple Chocolate Cookies
Every so often I will have an “I-don’t-think-I-can-go-on-without-a-really-good-chocolate-cookie” moment. I’m sure that not all of you are as dramatic as I am when it comes to cookies, but even if you’ve never experienced that moment, or if you don’t like chocolate (like my brother) bear with me: these cookies are unbelievable. If the name (triple chocolate!!) doesn’t […]
