A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
I’ll be honest, more than once (or twice), I’ve found myself on websites on Thanksgiving day, frantically looking for cooking times, recipes and how to tell if my turkey is done. You always want that big gathering to go off just right, so I thought I would put together some resources for Thanksgiving tips, tricks, advice, help & even hotlines. From buying your bird, how to prepare and carve it, the stuff on the sides (both light and gluten {Read More}
I hit Trader Joe’s this morning and have to say I was a bit surprised that it wasn’t packed full of Christmas goodies. Trader Joe’s is however ready to celebrate Thanksgiving and I have to say it was a bit refreshing to not have Thanksgiving skipped over. Though I really would have liked some Peppermint Joe Joe’s. Just saying. So here’s what was in store at Trader Joe’s… Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Pie Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Macarons The one Peppermint find {Read More}

Such a great way to {Read More}

I whipped up these cookies to bring with us on our recent vacation over in San Diego. As I often try and do, I replaced the all purpose flour with white whole wheat flour, replaced some of the butter with Greek yogurt and added in some oatmeal from an extra whole grain kick. They were fantastic. I kept them in the fridge in San Diego, mainly because leaving anything out seemed to result in the kitchen becoming a bit too {Read More}
Yesterday I shared the cool new Babycakes Flip Over Cake Pop Maker (head here to enter to win your own!). Today I want to tell you a bit more about the cookbook, 175 Best Babycakes Cake Pops Recipes by Kathy Moore & Roxanne Wyss. This cookbook is AWESOME. I’m not easily impressed with cookbooks, but this gets my seal of approval. Not only do all of the recipes look delish, but they have great how to info, tips and tricks {Read More}
First, I promise not every post for the rest of the year will include pumpkin. I go a little bit crazy when fall is near, as it’s my absolute favorite time of the year. So pumpkin fans, I’ve got you covered. Non-pumpkin fans, I promise lots of chocolate and caramel and pretzels soon. For today though, it’s cinnamon rolls. Pumpkin Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls. These are so. flipping. good. As often as possible I try to substitute white whole wheat {Read More}
Muffins are a staple in our house. I love them for so many reasons. They make a great quick breakfast or snack. It’s easy to whip up large batches of muffins. They freeze well. Most muffin recipes are pretty forgiving about changing and substituting ingredients. I’ve been able to turn many not so good for you muffin recipes into something that packs a nutritional punch. And best of all, my kiddos love them. After enjoying the pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes {Read More}
This weekend we will be celebrating my Grandfather’s 90th Birthday and I took on the task of creating the desserts for the event. I wanted to try some new recipes, and work with some flavors that made me think of fall (I’m kind of desperate for fall right now). I whipped up three kinds of cupcakes, Pecan Pie Cupcakes, Snickerdoodle Cupcakes & Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes. Everyone in my house had a different favorite, my husband liked the Pecan Pie ones, {Read More}
Getting out of bed at the crack of dawn with the kiddos somehow seems a little bit a lot harder on the weekends. As I’m dragging myself out of bed, I console myself with the thought of what yummy breakfast I can whip up. My breakfast ideas this morning were quickly interrupted (kind of like my sleep!) this morning with my daughter’s request for something pumpkin for breakfast. Given that I had half a can of pumpkin in the fridge, {Read More}
Most often when I can find canned pumpkin (and not the darn pumpkin pie mix in a can), I find the larger size can, which means if I am going to make one pumpkin recipe, I’m likely going to need to make a second to use all of the pumpkin. I don’t think you can ever go wrong with pumpkin bread. And it turns out adding some Biscoff to it is mighty tasty. This recipe is based off of my {Read More}
I’ve decided I’m not going to wait on fall to show itself, instead I’m going to do my best to manufacture it myself. I can’t seem to do much about the miserable temperature here in Phoenix, but I can fill my home with the wonderful scent of pumpkin and cinnamon. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies, bring it on. Today it’s pumpkin cookies. Lowfat Pumpkin Oatmeal Spice Cookies to be exact. These are hearty, chewy cookies that pack in some {Read More}
