I've never been a person who liked sweet breakfast foods. Cereal, waffles, pancakes, French toast--- all of those things are sub-standard to me. I will gladly choose a breakfast burrito or bacon and eggs above a plate of pancakes anyday. I make sweet breakfasts for my husband all the time. He enjoys eating oatmeal before… Continue reading Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites

Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars
My husband is a huge fan of peanut butter. He'll eat it on just about anything: graham crackers, chocolate, or simply by the spoonful. That's why I try to make a peanut-butter inspired treat for him every now and then. I've made chocolate peanute butter cookies, peanut butter blossoms, and even a cake-style Buckeye bar.… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars
Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
It's the holiday baking, candy-making and treat-giving season! I've been busy this weekend whipping up a bunch of Christmas treats (and Chex Mix) for family and friends. I can't take the treats to work like usually do every year since I'm work from home, but I'm still able to give some out to people. As… Continue reading Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
Loaded M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
We're only a few days away from Thanksgiving and you know what that means: the holiday baking season is officially here. Let's eat all the pies, quick breads, cookies and candies our little hearts desire. I'm ready to put my brand new oven to good use. I bought a giant-sized bag of flour the other… Continue reading Loaded M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
This could be my last overnight oat recipe for a while. For one thing, we're getting burnt out on overnight oats. Another reason: we're running out of overnight oat flavors to try! I've done apple pie, strawberry, blueberry and now pumpkin. What else is left? This recipe was probably my favorite. Well, it's a toss… Continue reading Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
Surprise Meringue Kisses
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! I can't believe it's already December 23rd. I remember putting up my tree on November 1st and that feels like just yesterday. I'm sad to see the Christmas season come and go once again, but I'm excited to have my own Christmas here at my place. My parents are in town… Continue reading Surprise Meringue Kisses
Rice Krispie Cookies
What do you get when you mix oatmeal, chocolate chips, coconut and Rice Krispies together? A mega-awesome cookie, that's what. Maybe I should actually call this "kitchen sink cookies" since there's so many random ingredients inside. This recipe hails from the same Atchison, Kansas Methodist cookbook that I used for my peanut butter blossoms. I… Continue reading Rice Krispie Cookies
Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms
I spent all weekend baking up a storm. It was my last free weekend to do some holiday baking, so I took advantage of it. I had three things planned, and one recipe just kind of fell into my lap. I had some leftover Hershey kisses and a big tub of peanut butter. Classic peanut… Continue reading Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms
Peppermint Mocha Cookies
Peppermint is my jam. When I was a smoker (I know, bad habit, but I quit a long time ago!) I only smoked menthols. I've chewed the exact same type of gum for a decade (Five peppermint). Don't ever hand me a stick of spearmint gum, that's not my thing. I love dinner mints and… Continue reading Peppermint Mocha Cookies
Christmas Cookie Truffles
It's December 2nd, and if your Christmas tree isn't up yet---what are you waiting for?! I'm currently sitting here listening to Christmas music play through my stereo and looking at the lights glisten on my tree. I'm fully in the Christmas spirit, and that couldn't be more visible than if you step into my kitchen.… Continue reading Christmas Cookie Truffles
