It’s been a hot minute since I last updated the blog, but I thank you all for being patient with me during these difficult times. I’ve got a few things loaded up for you that I’ve decided were worth putting up for your enjoyment. Mostly, we’ve been eating a lot of potatoes, repeat meats, and

This breakfast is packed with protein, probiotics, and flavor — No joke! It’s easy to make, so don’t let the extensive ingredient list deter you. It takes about five minutes from start to finish, and it’s a fantastic way to start your day. Greek yogurt is a great source of protein and probiotics. I get

As some of you may recall (and as many others will likely not be surprised to find out), I’ve posted about banana bread before. In fact, I’ve got a few banana bread items: Vegan Banana Nut Muffins, Dessert Banana Bread, and Banana Pumpkin Bread. What I haven’t done is plain ol’ banana bread. Sure, this

I’ve made different frostings in previous recipes, including whipped cream icing to go with my black forest cake and rosewater buttercream for some cupcakes. As far as I can tell, though, I don’t have plain old buttercream anywhere on here. Fortunately, that’s pretty easy to fix. This recipe makes enough for about a dozen cupcakes,

Red velvet is a flavor that walks the line between chocolate and vanilla, but which dives head-first into the decadence of a flourless chocolate cake. A little often goes a long way, and to balance out the richness, they’re often paired with a cream cheese frosting. It’s a match made in culinary heaven, but if

Valentine’s Day is coming up, and you want the mood for dinner (or the after-dinner special) to be just right. Sure, candles are a classic touch, but maybe you want the fragrances involved to be a bit more potent and a little more varied. Worry not! We’ve got you covered.
