Once more, I am forced to say..

'I'm sorry' and... 'you're welcome' in the same sentence. Who says 'you can't have your cake and eat it too?' Not this girl. If you haven't noticed yet... I am all  about sweets and treats. Eatings skinny and healthy doesn't mean things can't be fun or enjoyed! Any frequenter to Starbucks will most likely tell you that one of their fall favorites there is the infamous Pumpkin Scone, and naturally the Pumpkin Spice Latte. However, as you can see... with a whopping 450 calories in one scone... hah. No, thank you - I say. No. Thank. You.  Over the weeks I've...

Blueberry Bread (Bread Machine)

Posted by admin on

I’m… making a lot of bread lately. I’ve found that being stuck at home and baking seem to go hand-in-hand. And when I’m planning out breakfast, bread just happens to be my new go-to. I guess that could be due to the fact that I got a new bread machine a few months back now. This Blueberry Bread really hit the spot. It’s light and fluffy and full of blueberry goodness. A slice of this for breakfast with some butter, jam, and a side of fresh berries is a beautiful way to start the day. I lightened this bread up...

This no-knead, one-bowl method for making Homemade English Muffins is surprisingly easy and yields a fabulous result

Posted by admin on

This recipe is a fun kitchen project that will make you feel like an accomplished baker. I made English Muffins from scratch! And, it was the most fun I’ve had in my kitchen in quite some time.

Another batch will be in the works soon. This recipe makes 16 muffins and they freeze exceptionally well if you don’t have quite the ravenous group I have here. Make a batch...

Posted by admin on

Hi there! Seeing this post after Easter? No problem! These cookies are super fun and easy to bake up ANY time of year. Simply leave off the Easter decor on top...and switch out sprinkles to seasonal colors like red, white, and blue for July 4th...or red and green for Christmas. Once you make these colorful cookies once, you're going to want to make them again and again! Easter is tomorrow, and our celebration this year is going to be a bit different -- and much smaller -- than we're accustomed to. That calls for something cheery to eat! My Confetti Easter...

These cupcakes have been in my family since sometime in 2003

Posted by admin on

Well, not these exact cupcakes. Of course, I've made some changes to them to skinny them up enough for my liking these days. I think the first time that we ever made these was the summer when I was going to be graduating college. I had come home from school during some break and my grandmother was visiting (just as she is now.) My mom had come across this recipe somehow in a Better Crocker Cookbook and we decided to whip them up for whatever reason. I mean... do you really need a reason to make cupcakes? Anyway, we made the cupcakes and...
