‘Skinny’ Banana Peanut Butter Muffins
January 18, 2015
These are basically ‘skinny’ muffins because there’s no white sugar, vegetable oil, or eggs. Disclaimer: as you’ll see, there are natural sugars and carbs. I adapted this recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction’s Skinny Banana Peanut Butter Muffin recipe. My recipe below made 2 dozen muffins. I froze half of them for breakfasts in a few weeks. […]
Lasagna Recipe with Garden Fresh Tomatoes
September 5, 2014
This year my garden included three tomato plants, plus a few plants from last year grew back. (Normally they only produce one year). With an abundance of fresh tomatoes, I decided to make lasagna.

Rosemary Pork Shoulder Roast in the Crock Pot / Slow Cooker
June 6, 2014
This simple recipe for rosemary pork shoulder roast only contains a few ingredients and is basically thrown together in the crock pot! Due to our non-existent kitchen and dusty house (we had to remove a concrete pad from our hallway)… the fewer dishes, the better. That’s why I use Reynolds slow cooker liners. No, plastic bags […]
Spaghetti Squash & Sauce Recipe
January 20, 2013
This is a much healthier version of my favorite comfort food. I made it for my boyfriend and two roommates – everyone loved it! The taste was essentially the same, but the ‘noodle’ texture was a little different. To cook this yummy dish you must only do two things: bake the squash and make the […]

I squirted some whipped cream over the warm honey, bananas, and angel food cake. This was the really yummy part: I had some […]

Almond Joy Oatmeal Adapted from Cookin’ Cowgirl – serves 1 1 C quick oats 2 Tbsp hazelnut coconut milk (because I didn’t have almond milk) 2 Tbsp […]
Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe
August 31, 2012
This was my first attempt ever at making Chicken Cordon Bleu. When I studied art history abroad in France, our cafeteria served this a lot. It was ok… I knew if I went to a French restaurant it would be amazing, so I did. And it was. Three years later I’m finally making my own. […]
