Black Bean Brownies

Yep, I did it. I jumped on the black bean brownie-bandwagon. I’ve been scouring the internet for literally years (I swear, I do have a life…) for a good, egg-free black bean brownie recipe, and never found one that I truly liked enough until I found Gina’s. Three ingredients, no fuss, and an incredible, fudgey […]

3-Ingredient Chocolate Berry Cobbler

Well this might be one of the easiest recipes I will ever post. You all know that I’m a huge fan of minimal ingredient cooking (as in the case of these Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Cake Cookies, or these Soda Cupcakes) because it’s easy and also pretty cheap! So when I found this recipe on Pinterest, […]

Crunchy Spicy Chocolate Granola

It’s a new week already – can you believe it? I don’t like to or want to wish time away, but I have to say, I am so ready for spring that I’m ok with February flying by. The winter months in Michigan are often incredibly dismal. I heard someone say that throughout the past […]

Confetti Clutter Cookies

So I will get to the much anticipated recipe in just a second, but first, I have some exciting news! I am a finalist in the Incredible Edibles recipe contest! If you remember, I entered a couple of recipes a few weeks ago, and wasn’t expecting to hear back from them. It wouldn’t have been […]

Sea Salted Dark Chocolate Bars

When I stumbled across this recipe the other day on Chocolate Covered Katie‘s blog, I was so excited. First, because it’s chocolate (and who doesn’t get excited about chocolate?), but also because it is free from so many allergens and very clean. Allergy- and New Year’s Resolution-friendly! The chocolate could not have been any easier […]

Individual Apple Crumbles

I have a kinda funny story. On Sunday I felt like experimenting in the kitchen. I wanted a nice, autumnal dessert that was also somewhat light/healthy. It’s “lightness” would be good for both me and my family and also What Would Kathy Eat?‘s Healthy Thanksgiving Challenge. Because I had already made something with pumpkin in […]

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 […]

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 […]

Dinner for a Grad

Good afternoon, and happy Friday! Last night I made a dinner and had a mini celebration for my friend Sarah, who just finished her undergrad degree! We met our sophomore year of high school, and have been great friends ever since. 🙂 Sarah finished her degree in three years, taking 20+ credits almost every semester. […]
