The holidays are such a stressful time of year. 

The nightmare that is finals season tends to shove holiday gift shopping to the back burner. 

But holiday baking is the one thing that instantly melts away stress. I know for some people holiday baking is a lot of unneeded pressure, but not for me. There’s just something about the simplicity of it, the delicious smells, the smiles you get to see as people take a bite. 

However, there are some recipes out there that have SOOO many steps, ingredients used that you don’t normally buy, or just take forever and a half to make. 

This is not one of those recipes.

The first time I ever tried quinoa I hated it.

Everyone I heard talking about quinoa had nothing but good things to say about it, but there was something definitely off with the quinoa I tasted. It was very bitter, and I had to force myself to swallow it. 

Turns out, though, that when quinoa isn’t washed and prepared properly it retains a bitter taste from a natural substance called saponin. But with thorough rinsing, quinoa has a neutral, nutty taste.

This pumpkin spice coffee creamer is the easiest way to enjoy the flavors of fall without all the extra sugar of a pumpkin spice latte.

Autumn is arguably the best season ever. 

It’s not “kill me I’m melting” hot and it isn’t “I can’t feel my toes” freezing. The leaves on the trees are changing from green to vibrant shades of red and orange and yellow. And, of course, it’s the perfect time of year to carry around a warm mug or thermos of coffee.

Sweet white chocolate chips and tangy dried cranberries make every bite of this White Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Granola Cereal an explosion of flavor.

I remember the first time I had a white chocolate chip cranberry cookie.

At first, I thought I wouldn’t like the flavor combo, but after one bite I was in love. I found myself craving them all the time. But of course, it would be irresponsible (not to mention pretty fattening) to eat cookies whenever a craving strikes. 

So naturally, I decided to figure out a way I could satisfy my cravings in a way that was healthy.   ← this granola
