I am a fan of most any breakfast food, but for Kevin waffles are near the top. On one of his days off, I decided to find a new recipe for waffles. I came across this hearty sounding oatmeal waffle recipe in a collection of Taste of Home recipes I found at a garage sale […]
Apple Bars Recipe
At a fun evening with friends, Kevin and I were able to enjoy a piece (or two or three) of this amazing, partially good-for-you apple bars. Molly and her husband are pretty health conscious, but I knew they enjoy delicious foods, which told me I would totally love this dessert. She told me they were […]
Iced Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
My Grandma always kept her snack cupboard stocked with sweet, crunchy store-bought cookies like biscotti, windmills, gingersnaps and iced oatmeal cookies. They were perfect for dunking in her mid morning cup of tea or enjoying just before bed. Though most kids probably wouldn’t choose these type of cookies as their favorites, I have to say […]
Perfect Granola
originally posted May 4, 2011 I’ll always love the Peanut Butter Banana Granola and the Crunchy Almond Granola, but I have to say this is really the *perfect* granola recipe. It goes together SO quickly with so few ingredients–all of which you’re likely to have on hand (you can easily swap for other nuts or mix-ins.) […]
Monster Cookies Recipe
By definition, Monster Cookies are, well monstrous. They’re supposed to be huge, and also filled with every delicious ingredient you can dream up. I am thinking you could easily substitute half of the M&Ms and/or chocolate chips for another type of bite sized or chopped candy bar, raisins, coconut, chopped nuts, peanut butter or white […]
Chunky Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (aka “Just Eat Them Cookies”)
While these cookies are quite similar to these Cowboy Cookies or these Crunchy Cowboy Oatmeal Cookies, they are uniquely buttery and delightfully chewy. I made half a batch of these cookies for our small gathering of teens at our weekly book club, and the entire plate was devoured by the end the of the hour. […]
No-Bake Chewy Chocolate Granola Bars Recipe
I am a sucker for anything remotely healthy, yet sweet and reasonably filling. These granola bars fit the bill (and they were the perfect option for our weekend camping trip). In just minutes your pan of granola bars is firming up on the counter top–less time than it would take to run to the store […]
Cinnamon Sunflower Seed Energy Bites
You all might be keen enough to deduce how slightly addicted I am to these little energy bites. I’ve made a batch a week since I first found the original recipe and each time I’ve tweaked it into something new. I love the versatility of the recipe, not to mention the amazing flavor, and the packed nutrients. […]
Crunchy Cowboy Oatmeal Cookies
For cookies that get devoured in minutes with a teenage crowd (some of the toughest critics!), this is the go-to recipe. I even had high school guys asking me for the recipe! These cookies are overflowing with crunchy goodness of coconut, the sweetness of chocolate, and the slightly savory aspect of corn flakes–a unique combination resulting […]
Cocoa Almond Bites
During a week of fruits-veggies-oats-and-nuts-only diet, I was craving a nutritious sweet treat. This version of the original energy bite recipe is totally amazing and even healthier–filled with healthy almonds in place of the chocolate chips. The cocoa powder makes these taste so much like No Bake Cookies that you wouldn’t believe it. These are […]
