First off, thank you so much for your kind words about our recent miscarriage. I plan on responding to each and every comment and have done my best to stay up-to-date with e-mails. I so greatly appreciate each word you’ve said to me and cherish each one. This post, a baby shower for my friend Stephanie, was planned months ago. Although the timing feels a bit forced in light of our recent news, I want to be able to celebrate … Read More
Healthier Peanut Butter Pie (175 calories per slice!)
How was your weekend, friends? Joe and I soaked up every ounce of the beautiful weather we had this weekend, and for the first time it felt like Spring really is on its way! We also finally got around to buying bikes! It’s been a long time coming, since my last bike was something purchased in middle school. Since Minneapolis has so many beautiful bike trails, we knew we were missing out. Moving right along…Let’s talk about pie, shall we? … Read More
Raw Sugar Cookie Dough in a Jar
By the time Friday rolls around, Joe and I are both in the mood for a low key night, which means a workout together at the gym, eating Chipotle and watching something on TV. Maybe not the most exciting routine around, but I love it so much. Last week when were were watching Shark Tank on ABC, one of our favorite shows, I was drawn to a particular business idea that was being pitched to the sharks on the show. … Read More
Oatmeal, Dark Chocolate & Cranberry Cookies
Now that January is almost over I’m allowed to start posting cookie recipes again, right? Right. After all, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means all resolutions to eat less sweets will pretty much be thrown out the window in favor of chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. I never get sick of the process of baking cookies. Something about creaming the butter together with sugar, listening to the hum of the electric mixer, seeing the dough come together, … Read More
Food Blogger Cookie Swap: Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing (plus a chocolate version!)
Happy Cookie Day! Once again I took part in the Food Blogger Cookie Swap with a bunch of other amazing bloggers. The funds raised from the cookie swap goes toward kids cancer research. Cookies and a great cause? I’m in! If you want to participate in next year’s swap, you can sign up for updates here. I’ve actually been really behind on baking cookies and desserts this year. Christmas just came up way too fast this year! We’re having a … Read More
Apple Streusel Pie
First things first, a little bit of business to discuss. A number of you have requested that I make my recipes easily printable. Ask and you shall receive! Recipe will now be formatted so you can print recipes without having to print the entire web page. Enjoy! If you look closely at the photos of this apple pie, you’ll notice that the edges are not crimped perfectly. There are spots where I had the right amount of dough and spots … Read More
Dark Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Cookies
These cookies were almost the death of me. I kid you not, having to make and photograph them 4 times really tested my commitment to this recipe. But I guess issues with your memory card and card reader will test almost anyone. Since I work in food for a living and spend a lot of time in the kitchen each day, developing, testing and re-testing recipes until they reach perfection, it’s rare for me to spend that same amount of … Read More
Sweet Vegan Cashew Cream
Since I can’t enjoy my nightly dark chocolate fix while we are doing our yoga cleanse, I have been looking for creative ways to satisfy my sweet tooth after dinner. Not an easy task considering that the “sweets” can’t contain any sweetener other than agave or stevia and they also can’t contain dairy, gluten or eggs. Basically, my options are seriously limited. I’ve seen recipes for cashew cream, both sweet and savory, on blogs and websites quite a bit, but … Read More
Baked Apple Cinnamon Doughnuts
When it comes to breakfast, I really do believe it is the most important meal of the day. Most of the time I find myself in bed, planning what I’m going to have for breakfast the following morning. It tends to be a steady rotation of oatmeal, toast with peanut butter and sliced banana, a bowl of Greek yogurt with fruit or the occasional almond milk smoothie in the summer. Truthfully, doughnuts for breakfast have never really been my cup … Read More
Key Lime Pie
Hey, everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for awesome feedback on last Friday’s post. It was so refreshing to hear that I’m not the only one who struggles with feeling the pressure to do things perfectly. Sometimes we just need one another to remember how normal (or crazy!) we all truly are. Moving on to lighter, but still important, matters, like pie. When we were in Salt Lake City a couple weeks back, we … Read More
