Pumpkin Bread My old roommate and I used to consume a ridiculous amount of pumpkin bread from Starbuck’s during the work week, but when it started the break the bank I decided to make my own! The result ended up being far more delicious and affordable!
Hearty Jalapeño Chili For about 3 days in a row, Josh and I were consuming nothing but chili. We couldn’t help it though! It was too delicious and filling to resist! Although going on an all-chili diet is probably not the healthiest, you don’t have to feel too guilty with this recipe. I used ground beef AND ground turkey to make it a bit leaner without losing good flavor.
Honey Cornbread Muffins Chili and cornbread are a cold weather classic, so I was excited to make my first batch this season. These cornbread muffins are the perfect complement to spicy chili!
Why spend money on honey mustard sauce at the store when you can make your own! That’s also ten times more delicious I might add!
Red Velvet Ex-Girlfriend Cupcakes It’s been my experience in this relationship and those prior, that the past never stays the past for long. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned right? One thing these girls have provided for me (other than junior high level drama) is inspiration! This month I wanted to do zombie themed cupcakes, but then I thought, “What’s more terrifying than zombies? What creature keeps coming… Keep Reading
Voodoo Doll Sugar Cookies If you’re looking for a unique twist on Halloween cookies or you just want an edible voodoo doll, you’ve come to the right place! I had so much fun making/torturing these little guys! Since icing has so much sugar in it, I cut out half of the regular sugar in the cookies with a substitute to make them a little bit healthier as well!
Autumn Spiced Apple Bread Bring out the flavors of fall with this simple and delicious apple bread recipe!
Rosemary and Basil Focaccia Bread Focaccia bread is a simple and delicious alternative to garlic bread and is a great addition to any meal! Sometimes I even just enjoy it by itself.. I love my carbs!
Halloween Cocoa Cupcakes Even though Halloween is a month out, I wanted to bake some Halloween themed cupcakes today. You can use these for any occasion but I threw a twist to mine with some Halloween accessories! I’ve never been a fan of super rich cupcakes so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might want to throw a handful of chocolate chips into your batter, but if you like… Keep Reading
Low-Fat Pumpkin Spice French Toast Muffins Before we left for Iowa this month, we cleared out the fridge and pantry, leaving us with just beer and pasta to eat. There’s definitely nothing wrong with that, but I really wanted to make French toast one morning! Not even having bread left, I decided to make muffins, but gave them a fall spin by adding pumpkin spice to the mix!
I love making tacos and fajitas at home, but I really wanted to kick it up a notch by making my tortillas as well. I was surprised at how simple they were to make and they taste so much better than store-bought!
Low-Fat Vanilla Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream Frosting Happy birthday to my dad, Tracy! Unfortunately we are 1,800 miles apart so I made long distance cupcakes! Haha : ) The best part about these delicious cupcakes is that they’re full of flavor with only half the guilt! My boyfriend is diabetic so I thought I would try out Stevia, a zero calorie sugar substitute. For the cupcakes themselves, I was able… Keep Reading
Bacon Chunk and Chocolate Chip Cookies How do you make chocolate chip cookies even better? Add bacon! It’s the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The hardest part of this recipe is trying not to eat the cookie dough before you bake the cookies!
Homemade taco seasoning tastes so much better than store bought and if you already have all of the spices and herbs in your cupboard, then it’s that much cheaper and convenient to make!
Pumpkin Cinnamon Pancakes I love autumn and Halloween, so I’m sorry but I’m not sorry for the ridiculous amount of pumpkin, fall themed recipes, crafts, and ideas I’ll be posting over the next few months! What better way to start it off then with these delicious pumpkin pancakes!
Chocolate Zucchini Muffins It’s been awhile since I’ve done any baking so I thought I would make some zucchini muffins while zucchinis are still in season. If you don’t have a muffin pan don’t sweat it.. I’ve also included instructions for making chocolate zucchini bread!
When I moved out of the house at eighteen I was broke, as most 18-20 somethings are when they’re first getting set up on their own. Among eating canned ravioli and a LOT of ramen noodles, I learned how to make the easiest, cheapest, tastiest red sauce. To this day this is still my go-to-sauce for pasta, chicken parmesan, marinara dipping sauce, pizza sauce, etc.. You can add diced tomatoes,… Keep Reading
