I'm such a huuuuuge fan of yogurt, I eat it almost daily. Whether it's in a parfait or using it to bake or to make dressings & dips, I always have a jar handy. Going through as much yogurt as I do, making it keeps costs down, and I truly enjoy the unique flavor and [...]

Classic Meringue Cookies
Okay, so Trader Joe's is one of my favorite stores (grocery and otherwise), so when I poke fun at it, it's all with lots of love. So the best aisle in Trader Joe's is without a doubt the aisle with the frozen foods in the bottom freezer and cookies and chocolates on the top shelves. I [...]
Chocolate Biscotti
Following yesterday's biscotti train, I decided to make a chocolate version. Because I like almonds in my biscotti, I kept them in. If you don't like almonds, leave out the sliced almonds and almond extract, and put more chocolate chips and vanilla extract instead. Due to the addition of the cocoa powder and chocolate [...]
Almond Biscotti
My mom loves biscotti. One of her favorite indulgences is purchasing the large tub of chocolate-dipped biscotti from Costco. I think it's because biscotti don't taste particularly sweet, she thinks it's "healthy" and therefore she happily eats one or two with her afternoon coffee. Biscotti means twice-baked (thanks to my Great British Bake Off knowledge), [...]
Overnight Chia Pudding
Spring is officially here! For me, my breakfast choices change according to the seasons. In the summer, I enjoy yogurt parfaits and fruit bowls. In the fall, I tend to eat a lot of egg scrambled with squash and veggies. In the winter, I hibernate with bowls of oatmeal. In the springtime, I like chia [...]
Sugar-Crusted Chocolate Chip Muffins
If you ask me, there are two types of muffins in the world. One is moist throughout and has a shiny, cracked top. The other is moist inside and has a crusted top. I often find the challenge with baking muffins with a crusted top is keeping the moisture inside. I want to share with [...]
Strawberry Pop-Tarts
Strawberries are finally under $3/pound here in the Northeast and I'm taking full advantage! At my church's small group, there's a running joke whenever someone's bringing snacks that if they don't have the time or don't have the culinary abilities to whip up something, they'll bring Pop-Tarts. I decided it's time to set a new [...]
Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Bombs
Recently, I was perusing Pinterest when I read about these "fat bombs". To be honest, the name didn't sound super appetizing. These "bombs" are basically made from a high-fat source - coconut oil, cocoa butter, cream cheese, etc. They are mixed with other natural flavors - berries, chocolate, nuts, etc. You form them into bite-sized [...]
Mixed Berry Macarons
To continue the strawberry party from yesterday's Mini Strawberry Pies, I'm sharing a very simple recipe for berry macarons using both strawberries and blackberries. Lately, I've regained my love for these cookies and have been baking up batch after batch. We're on the cusp of spring, it's time to snag all the berries and make these [...]
Mini Strawberry Pies
HAPPY PI DAY! To be honest, I didn't even realize it was pi/pie day until yesterday afternoon. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to celebrate pi day, I decided to do something quick and easy. What is easier than pie? Mini pies, of course! They take half the time to bake, and everybody gets the [...]
