In my mind, I had been posting too many desserts. But as it turns out, I only posted one since September. Upon further analysis, I had been eating too many desserts, not posting them. My bad. Dark Chocolate Flourless Cookies are the easiest. The easiest! Egg whites, cocoa, powdered sugar - and vanilla and salt. THAT'S IT. And chocolate chips, ... view more

It's that time again! Everyone start googling "Super Bowl Snacks!" In honor of this fabulous food-centered (let's be honest!) day, I have compiled some of my favorite bar foods and related snackies from previous posts that are great for groups.

The Walking Dead: Season Four, you're mine. These nachos may be one of my upcoming staples for 2016. They are great for weeknights and it's easy to keep the ingredients in ... view more
Cornbread {Greek Yogurt}
People often ask me how to get their kids started in the kitchen. In my opinion, baking is fun for kids because the whole is so different - and so much more delicious - than the sum of its parts. Think of baking as an arts and crafts project, made with items you have in your pantry, that you get to EAT, rather than figure out how to display for a ... view more
