Healthier Quick Banana Bread

I love this easy banana bread recipe because it is super quick, everything mixes in one bowl and there is no sugar in the bread. It is sweetened using honey and you can’t even tell the difference! There is sugar in the chocolate chips and cinnamon sugar topping but those are optional. This banana bread also uses olive […]

I can’t tell you how thankful I am to have found this recipe for donuts. If not for this, I would be drowning in greasy, fried donuts from the local donut shop this past month.  Every few months or so it hits me how amazing donuts are and then I go on a bit of […]

Since I’ve gotten into food photography, I’ve been obsessed with tall stacks of fluffy pancakes. I have a fantasy of tucking a napkin in my shirt, shutting my phone off, taking my best fork and digging into my own personal tower of pancakes with syrup oozing down the sides.

Just sitting here drinking my pear smoothie and mourning the loss of fall. Since when did the Christmas season begin on November 1? I saw three Christmas commercials the last half hour and my hometown  has lights and wreaths hung in the town center.  Is everyone skipping right over Thanksgiving, the biggest food holiday of the year?  It’s very […]

Muffins have never been my choice as far as baked goods go. I usually prefer a donut or a brownie or anything extremely chocolatey.  But strangely muffins were one of my major pregnancy cravings. One cold, snowy morning I was woken out of my sleep with an enormously overpowering desire for chocolate chip muffins. I could not shake it […]

Crepes for breakfast, crepes for dinner, lunch crepes, snack crepes, crepes all the time!  Crepes are slowly taking over my life. I remember when I was younger always seeing crepes on the IHOP menu and being intrigued but never ordering them. I don’t know why I never tried them, I think I was too loyal […]
