I love baking cookies, but recently I’ve starting trying to come up with slightly healthier options. Healthier in this case means saving a whole half cup of butter and adding fruit instead of chocolate. Hey, baby steps, right? đŸ™‚ The inspiration for this recipe comes from one of my husband’s...
This recipe comes to you at the request of my 3-year-old daughter. A few Saturdays ago she woke up and the first thing she said is “Momma, will you make me breakfast? Something with bananas? And chocolate?” I wonder where she gets that from? Â These muffins certainly delivered. They were...
It’s a given that at least once a week I will make a batch of cookies. And it is inevitable that if I ask Brian what kind of cookie he’d like he’ll answer “Chocolate chip”. He’s nothing if not consistent. So finally one day when I asked him what kind he...
It was once said that ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ and this dish is the embodiment of that. A few nights ago I was home with a hungry child and a hungry husband (and who are we kidding, yours truely was ravenous too) and the dinner hour was rapidly...

It feels counterproductive at times for me to go to the gym. At my regular workout time there’s always at least one TV tuned in to Food Network. I like to think of it as inspiration. “I’m doing this, so that I can eat that”. Well, a few weeks ago...
When Brian’s brother came home at Christmas, he brought Brian one of the best gifts (for him) ever: A gigantic bag of various wild game venison. Brian immediately started planning out what we’d do with all of this delightful meat. His first choice was to use some elk back strap...
The ultimate comfort breakfast! I made this a few weeks ago, along with Buttermilk Biscuits. This was excellent- the only change we made to it was to double the gravy, adding more grease to the pan along with the gravy ingredients.
