just your basic granola
Most people think of tree-hugging hippies when they hear the word “granola,” but you shouldn’t let that steer you away from this quick, easy, and (nearly) failproof snack!
This is a great basic granola recipe, and I’m most excited to try variations of it soon. Luckily, I’ve found that one recipe of it disappears quickly; hence, it looks like I’ll have plenty of opportunities to experiment with different flavors and additions. So far, on my personal granola flavor wishlist, I’ve got black pepper granola, bourbon bacon granola, and honey Jack granola!
Read MoreChicken Dog Treats
I’ve been cooking and baking more than I ever and each time I try something new, the result is amazing. Red velvet cupcakes = delish! Fluffy frosting made from scratch = decadent!
So being the dog lover I am, I wanted to make treats from scratch for my dogs & my bf’s dog. I’m guessing that dog treats, like human treats, taste better if they’re made with fresh, natural ingredients (not to mention the dash of love added to everything homemade). I didn’t do a taste test, but the canines have yet to complain! :)
Read MoreRed Waldorf (aka Red Velvet) Cupcakes
Red Waldorf cake is good all year long, but given it’s namesake hue, it’s especially popular on Valentine’s Day. Commonly referred to as red velvet cake, it is known as red Waldorf cake because it was the signature desert served at the famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC. Anyways, enough factoids… let’s get to the grub!
Read MoreFluffy Frosting
This frosting is smooth, creamy, and light. To me, it’s more like whipped cream than many frostings (especially, those icing-like frostings favored by many bakeries and cupcake shops)… so good!
Read MoreWontons: Not pretty, but they taste good!
My family doesn’t pride itself on many dishes, but one thing I’ve always found disappointing at restaurants is wontons. Like most comfort foods, it’s simple to make and without a doubt, seriously delicious.
Read MoreSimple Baklava
My first stab at documenting an attempt at baking. Unabashedly inspired by my friend Heather (@heathermessing) and the Butter + Cream Blog (http://butterpluscream.blogspot.com/). Hope you enjoy!
Combining nuts and honey, baklava combines sweet and savory into a sinfully delicious bite-size dessert. It’s an easy crowd-pleaser that takes time, but not a lot of skill to make.
