Peanut Butter Cinnamon Granola

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #StartWithJifPowder #CollectiveBiasI know I have mentioned my obsession love of peanut butter on previous accounts and I have no intention of changing that attitude.

Maple-Almond Granola

As I type this post, I am sitting at my dining room table and gazing out the window.  Now that hurricane Joaquin is gone and the rain has stayed away from South Carolina for a week, we have dried out a bit and the leaves are starting to turn.  I could sit…

Cornflake Cookies

Cornflake cookies.  Have you heard of these? My Mom made these cookies all the time when I was growing up and they were always one of my favorites.  The irresistible crunchiness of the cereal in them is incredibly appealing to a kid, but when I recently tested a batch and served them…

Honey Cinnamon Slow-Cooker Peach Crisp

Recently, my husband and I purchased a large parcel of land in the middle of the South Carolina midlands.  We have been busy getting ready to build, filling out paperwork, marking trees for removal, pouring over the floor plans, and all the other tasks that accompany a project the size of ours….

Gluten-Free Honey Oat Protein Bites

About a year ago, when I still lived in central Illinois, I was given this recipe from a friend and fellow Mommy.  She was on a mission to get more fit and make some long lasting, healthy changes in her life.  One of her discoveries was this recipe that she got off…

Pistachio Granola

With the exception of that strange, green instant pudding from my childhood, my experience with pistachios was rather limited until I married my husband, Mike.  My Aunt Mary used to make this awesome dessert called Watergate Cake and it was a lovely shade of pistachio green and it contained that same pudding….

Traditional Meatloaf

The recipes that appear here are tested, reliable, honest, and usually fairly simple.  Right?  Right.  Todays post is a perfect example of that; something I make regularly that always works, is always good, and is the basic classic recipe I always use. My one regret is the name.  I know meatloaf is…

Crockpot Apple Oatmeal

So, you know that I love oatmeal. There are no shortages of oatmeal laden recipes on this blog and I am only getting started.  It is one of those ingredients that is an automatic ‘yes’ for me.  Dishes that call for making browned butter?  No time for that.  Anything at all that…

Ruby Bars & Thanksgiving Inspiration

I call these bars Ruby Bars because if their color (obviously) and I will tell you that they are filled with a cranberry and apple butter sauce.  Intrigued?  I was too.  I am so excited to share this recipe with you, but before I do that, I have a quick little round-up…

Oatmeal & Brown Sugar Scones

It is no secret that I like anything made with oatmeal. I try and work it into just about everything I make.  I use it as a binder in my meatloaf, bake it into my breakfast, cookies, muffins, and I have been experimenting with putting it in my drinks and smoothies. Naturally,…

Power Parfaits & Quinoa Granola

A few weeks ago, I confessed my love of quinoa.  When I recently came cross a recipe that called for cooked quinoa in granola, I nearly fell off my chair.  I thought it was brilliant, and before I had even made any I was sold.  Granola is a protein, nutrient rich food…

Sour Cream Cherry Bars

At the risk of stating the obvious, I just have to mention that it is hot.  Really hot.  Pleeeeeease tell me you are all staying cool out there.  Pools, lakes, oceans, garden hose: whatever it takes to beat the heat!  Here in the middle of Midwestern farmland we are not only feeling the…
