I’m not sure when it happens, but at some point in becoming an adult, your palate changes, and you start to enjoy flavors other than sweet, sweet, and sweeter. I wasn’t a fan of lemon-flavored treats as a kid, but as an adult, I can’t get enough! Especially once...
Elvis Muffins
Poor Elvis. A few not-so-great years, and how quickly we forget the amazing songs and movies from the first decade of his career! Though the math doesn’t add up (I’m only 29 . . . again), as a girl, I watched reruns of some of his happy-go-lucky movies such as Blue...
Cherry Pistachio Scones
I have a new favorite scone recipe. Wanna know what it is? Yep, it’s this one! The texture of these scones is spot-on, and the pistachios give them an extra layer of flavor. Then you bite into a tart cherry! Oh my! I really need a cup of coffee and one of these bad...
Pumpkin Pie Bars
This recipe has quite a few ingredients, but it’s oh-so-easy to throw together! And oh-so-worth the few minutes of prep. This fall-infused bar brings the best of a pumpkin pie, cookie, and crumble into one delectable, handheld treat. It’s great for holiday parties or...
Chocolate Chip Tahini Blondies with Toasted Coconut
I keep asking myself why I didn’t think to create these chewy, dense bars of yumminess sooner! The added tahini provides a beautiful crumb and chewy texture without altering the flavor of the bars. So. Darn. Good! And if you need a nut-free version, I’ve made these...
No-Bake Sunbutter Bars
The only thing I have to say about these bars is “Holy delicious!” If you miss those Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup days, this is the recipe for you. It’s so easy to make, yet it’s loaded with delicious, nutritious ingredients. These bars are perfect for the cooler, school...
Almond Orange Biscotti
I used to adore a particular locally made biscotti that had a hint of orange flavor and was generously dipped in dark chocolate. Alongside my large-o mocha of sugar and chocolate, it’s no wonder I battled with my weight back then. Now I make my own grain-free treats....
Salted Chocolate Cherry Jumbles
Chocolate. Cherries. Sea salt. This may be the best cookie combination ever! These simple drop cookies are easy and fun to make, especially for the kiddos. So ask little hands to help, and you’ll whip these up in no time! 2 egg whitesPinch of sea salt1 tsp pure...
Lemon Blueberry Coolers
These refreshing cookies make a wonderful treat with tea or coffee on a relaxing Sunday morning. I love to make them in the spring and summer when I’m ready for the lighter flavors of lemon and blueberries. Dehydrated blueberries are an excellent addition because they...
Orange White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies
Long ago during the holidays, I made huge batches of these cookies with wheat flour, sugar, and who knows what else. I gave them up for many years because I just couldn’t replicate that same flavor in a gluten-free cookie. Until now! I’m over the moon for these...
