Honey Graham Pound Cakes with Chocolate Marshmallow Frosting

Last year my Thanksgiving contribution was to drive a smooshed pumpkin roll six hours to my sister’s house. Not this year though. Because this time tomorrow I’ll be in Minnesota hanging out with my parents. My mom and I will be going over the Thanksgiving dinner menu and Wednesday will consist of cooking and prepping. I decided to channel my excitement for Thursday by making these delicious s’more’eque pound cakes. S’mores are on my mind…

Spinach, Artichoke and Feta Stuffed Shells

PLEASE NOTE: I’ve remade/photographed these since. For the updated post click HERE. I’m already hungry for Thanksgiving. To be completely honest, I’m already hungry for my next meal very shortly after finishing the current one. So if you’re hungry right now, and feeling a little bit worried about dinner, you should make this. These stuffed shells are a delicious + healthier version of the all cheese stuffed shells. My main adaptation of the recipe was that…

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Growing up my mom would make a coffee cake on the weekend regularly, so breakfast is pretty important to me. And since it’s fall, these guys are the perfect Saturday starter. Why not have something amazingly pumpkin as your main course? You’ll be full after these for sure, and I know that you have a can of pumpkin in your fridge left over from making a couple batches of Pumpkin Spice Granola that you need…

Black Bean Burgers

I don’t really get guys with thumb rings, or why plucking my eyebrows makes me sneeze, but I do get why this meal was amazing. I am not one to ever doubt the goodness of black beans and when out, my menu choices are based on whether there are avocados involved. So I knew heading into this meal that it’d be a dream come true. With the chili powder and the hot sauce these burgers…

Country White Bread

I really miss the Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan days. I really miss those worn to death purple suede ankle boots I had to throw out at the end of last winter. And I know for sure I’ll miss this bread as soon as it’s gone. Gone are the years of coming home from school to fresh bread topped with melty butter. But at least I can make it at home and eventually I’ll make memories…

Crumb Apple Pie

Mix up and refrigerate the pie crust. Run to the store and get more butter. Maybe get some heavy whip for vanilla whipped cream. Maybe the sales associates will assume you’re a very unhealthy person. Maybe they think you’re weird for getting giant bacon dog treats along with the fatty goodness. For sure you get home and finish the making home made pie and the joke’s on them. Don’t forget to “cheers!” your first bite.…

Lunchbox Quiche: Baby Spinache + Sun Dried Tomatoes + Goat Cheese

I often worry about my next meal. At night, I get nervous if my cereal box is getting low. I sit at work trying to think of what I can make for dinner, and I hope-hope I have something good to make. So, with that said, I took care of a few lunches in advance today. These guys are so cute! They are like quiche-cupcakes. And they are perfect sandwich substitutes for your lunch. Put…

Rosemary Palmiers

Having a tea party soon? Totally using cups and saucers? I have the prettiest and simplest cookies yet, and they are most definately tea party material. Not to mention, rosemary in a sweet context is pretty dreamy. The original recipe includes the zest of one large lemon rubbed into to the sugar before beginning. I am going to give that a shot next time, but if you don’t have lemons on hand, these guys are…

Pumpkin Spice Granola

I support splurging 100%. Buy those shoes! Don’t bother worrying about groceries. Buy that dress! You’ll totally wear it enough times to make up for the $150. Get the $6 organic milk, just do it. You already have purple pumps? But are they peep toes? When buying my lunch, last week, I slipped and fell into a $6 bag of cherry almond granola. It was really good, but I mean come on, I can make…

Matchy Matchy Cookies

I worry about things like backordered boots and runs in my new tights and if I can make it another half mile before running out of gas or maybe that there won’t be enough food at a party and I didn’t eat dinner or whether or not I have cereal for breakfast in the morning… Do you worry about matching? If you do, you should probably make these cookies to match: your outfits, eyeshadow of…
