No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies {Gluten-Free}

by 3 Comments

I’ve got to tell you, gluten-free cookies are quite an amazing thing, especially when you’ve got an immense craving for chocolate and you know you shouldn’t go down to Bi-Lo and pick up a dozen chocolate chip cookies because that would be bad.

These cookies are truly amazing. Gluten-free means no wheat-belly guilt, chocolate obviously means heaven, and peanut butter means heaven times two. And they’re no-bake? Things just got ten times better!

Usually when you make cookies that have to bake in the oven, it takes FOREVER and they have a high-likelihood of burning and or being under-baked. Not with these cookies though!

Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

by Leave a Comment

My family loves buttermilk biscuits with a passion. It’s definitely something they ask for on a regular basis. But what they love ten times more than a buttermilk biscuit is when I make sausage gravy to go on the side, or in the middle rather. If you live in the south, you know what all the hullabaloo is about. I mean, it’s a breakfast to die for. It’s simplicity amazes me and the flavors are out of this world good. And when you use quality meat, I don’t think there was ever a more perfect breakfast. If someone asks what I’m making for breakfast and I say biscuits, then they’ll say “With gravy, right?” This is typical. Very typical.

Ever since we started the whole “healthy eating” thing, I haven’t been able to enjoy a nice, large bowl of chex mix. You wanna know how many times I’ve walked down the aisles of various supermarket’s and yearned for *just* a handful of the stuff?

I mean, it’s just so freakin’ delicious! But it’s one of those that you can want but never have. With ingredients like Maltodextrin and Disodium Guanylate, I think I’ll just make my own chex mix and skip the artificial ingredients.

Perfect Potato and Onion Frittata

by 4 Comments

There are times when I wish I had chickens strutting and clucking all around my yard.

This is definitely one of those times.

Probably because I hate (with a passion) going to the store to buy eggs. Or maybe its because I’m just one of those girls who wishes they had a farm. And fantasizes about taking the cows out to pasture to eat grass and wildflowers. And silently wishes she were gazing at ducks in a row on her pond out in the country instead of wasting away on her couch reading DIY magazines. Some people call that farm envy. But I call it a dream.

Healthy Whole Wheat Avocado Brownies {Tutorial}

by 4 Comments

One thing I love about avocado is that when you pair it with chocolate, it only makes the chocolate taste richer. When I made this pudding last week, I knew that there had to be another way I could pair chocolate with avocado. I mean, the combination is so powerful and tasty, so there’s got to be an additional manner in which I can prepare a dish using the two ingredients. Well, on a recent shopping trip, we bought six avocados to experiment with (and make pudding with). And luckily I found an amazing recipe that is super tasty and easy.
