A classic Southern banana pudding made with alternating layers of vanilla wafers, bananas, and made-from-scratch custard flavored with vanilla and bourbon.
I love having easy recipes up my sleeve for when we run out of a traditionally store-bought item, like bread. My favorite homemade bread recipe is certainly not as quick as picking it up from the store, but is easy to make, delicious, and much […]
Happy November! (And Happy Halloween yesterday!) In honor of all the kids who trick-or-treated last night, and even the dedicated parents I saw who dressed up, too, I decided to post a treat – Maple Pecan Pumpkin Biscotti, aka autumn sweetness in your mouth! These are […]
So…I was getting a little creative with some over-ripe bananas I had on hand. Naturally, I thought of banana bread, but it just didn’t seem right to go with a classic banana bread seeing as it is the prime season for spices galore! With that in mind, […]
Well, it is Valentine’s time again! I know so many people have mixed emotions about this holiday, but we should all look on the bright side – it is a perfect reason to have your cake and eat it, too! This dark chocolate cake is […]
I don’t know about you guys, but I am ready for spring. That said, spring doesn’t seem quite ready for me! Even the groundhogs agree that I have to suffer through a little more winter. With that in mind, I’ve been craving comfort food. Delicious […]
Two years ago this month I had one of the most amazing experiences – I went to Spain for the first time. The school where I worked needed chaperones for the annual Upper School exchange program with a school in Spain. They already had two […]
We went to bed with the windows open last night. It’s been in the mid-70’s all week. Oh, California. You slay me. I swear if the pool was done, we probably would have jumped in the water. Yesterday wasn’t ideal, though. Took the kids to […]
I absolutely love egg salad. And I love it for several reasons. First, I love how easy it is to make. Just mix up a few ingredients, and you’ve got yourself a fab salad or sandwich. Second, I love how it fills me up when I eat […]
Egg salad! Creamy, rich and flavorful egg salad. I hadn’t even thought about egg salad in years until my friend Cameron mentioned that she had made some the other day and all the sudden, I couldn’t get egg salad off my mind! Call me crazy […]
How can I even begin to describe the deliciousness that is this dip?! Let’s see…to start: it tastes like cheese. Blue cheese. It is super healthy and made with only 3 ingredients. It also compliments pretty much everything. Skinny Buffalo Chicken Wings? Put some dip on […]
Hey Foodie! I’m really excited to share this week’s paleo recipe with you. Not only because it looks incredible, but because it tastes amazing! I used to think it was impossible to make a healthy pecan pie. It’s just filled with sugar and wheat right? […]
I have been in a calzone making mood for the past few weeks, they are just so filling and delicious. The great thing about them is that you can make a different size and filling for everyone. The one above was mine and I really […]
Two classic warm-weather desserts are weaknesses for me – one is peach cobbler and the other is strawberry shortcake. I could literally eat half of a 9 by 13 of peach cobbler by myself – and a whole tray of strawberry shortcakes. And since chocolate […]
