These are not only the cutest Easter bunny cupcakes, but they are also the best coconut cupcakes ever. And I really mean it.
Lunch is always a difficult meal for me to get inspired about. Midday, I want something light yet filling, fresh and satisfying that will last me through the afternoon. Salads are always a good go-to lunch option but most are uninteresting and ultimately unhealthy, which completely defeats the purpose of eating a salad in the first place. This salad is not one of those—it is flavorful, healthy and a lunch you'll be excited to dive into!
Today is the first day that it FEELS like spring. It's warm out, the sun is shinning and it makes me excited about upcoming days at the pool. I don't think I've ever been so ready to say goodbye to winter!
I always make a cake for my family's Easter celebration (one year it was in the shape of a bunny ... sometimes I get carried away). With the holiday quickly approaching, I can't decide which spring favorite to bake, so I thought I'd make several options in the weeks leading up to Easter to help decide. First, the Carrot Cake.
One of our very favorite things to make is turkey burgers (my recipe HERE). We literally have them once a week. They are super simple to make, fun to throw on the grill, delicious and healthy.
The weather is starting to get warmer (thank goodness) which always makes me crave Mexican flavors—think margaritas and guacamole outside on the patio with friends.
Over the past 5 weeks I have been cooking, styling and photographing over 100 pies for a cookbook that will be coming out in October (explains why the blog has been a little neglected lately). Yesterday we wrapped our final day of shooting and to celebrate I made the team breakfast.
These Frozen Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Banana Bites are the JAM! If you know me at all, you know I have a serious sweet tooth. When I say serious I mean I CRAVE dessert after breakfast, something sweet as a mid morning snack, dessert after lunch, sweets at 2:00 and then of course dessert after dinner ... and then again late at night. I know ... I told you. Addiction.
These White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches with Caramel and Toasted Coconut are over. the. top. amazing. The name is as long as they are good.
I really try to bring you original content on a daily basis. I get inspiration from magazines, TV shows, other bloggers and everyday life to create and invent new recipes. I test them on my loved ones (Jacobs is a hard critic) and then post the best ones here.
I drink a cup of hot tea every morning (and then sometimes another again later in the afternoon). I can't think of anything that goes better with tea than scones.
Valentine's Day is tomorrow! What are you doing with your significant other for dinner? While it seems like most people like to go out on Valentine's night—I always like to stay in and make a special dinner for my sweetie. There is nothing more romantic than dinner and a bottle of wine at home by the fireplace. Skip the hoopla of a crowded restaurant on a greeting card holiday and make a fresh, healthy meal that tastes as good as it feels special.
Valentine's Day is this week which means it's time for pink and red heart shaped goodies for the ones you love. It's time to make something sweet for your sweetie and these Linzer cookies are really something special.
I have a very serious sweet tooth ... As you can tell by my blog, I really try to eat a healthy diet, except when it comes to dessert. I have no will power. I love sweets and never deny myself (everything in moderation). But when you crave something sweet after every meal (even breakfast) you have to find something other than chocolate chip cookies to satisfy.
I have posted my turkey burger recipe here before (it's one of my absolute faves). I thought that I would revamp them into sliders for this weekend's Super Bowl.
Something I always like to keep in my refrigerator is fresh pesto. It is so versatile and makes putting a meal together really easy. Traditional pesto is made with basil and pine nuts (which tend to be really expensive). I like to change it up with these two recipes.
Several years ago my mom gave me an adorable cookbook from the London's famed Hummingbird Bakery. While I'm dying to travel across the pond to try their sweet treats in person, the homemade versions will just have to do.
Baby, it's cold outside! So cold that most nights I just want to stay in with a mug of hot chocolate. That’s when I had the idea to throw a Hot Chocolate Party with my friends at StyleBlueprint.com. A relaxed event with an edgy throw back vibe that both kids and adults could get on board with.
Sunday I woke up with a craving for waffles ... or maybe French Toast. Mmmm ... decisions, decisions? But wait, why do I have to decide? A girl can have it all, right?
