Some weeks I’m super prepared for school lunches and other weeks, well, I’m putting the oven on and scrambling around throwing ingredients together at 7:30 am to create something delicious to add in. Tuesday morning was one of *those* mornings - which is lucky for you. Because I created the … [Read more...]
The BEST Banana Bread
It’s hard to find a staple banana bread recipe that delivers time after time and isn’t loaded with sugar. When I first tried this recipe by Kristin Cosgrove (who used to be Mamacino.com) it hit every spot. And I never created my own banana bread recipe because I couldn’t top this. So I’d send … [Read more...]
Honey and Oat Biscuits
I love a hearty biscuit. And the first words that came out of my husbands mouth when I delivered him this new creation was, "Yum, these would be great with a coffee". BANG!

Honestly – it’s a family staple. It comes in handy ALL THE TIME – I always need a batch frozen in portions in the freezer for those days when I know making dinner at 5:30pm just isn’t going to happen. Pop some in a lunchbox when you’re on the go – oh how versatile is the zucchini slice!! This is … [Read more...]
Miss M’s Jam Drops
My friend Amy made strawberry jam. Jam is not something that we usually have in our pantry. Maybe because I’ve never been a fan, but also because I just can’t get over the amount of sugar in it! But this was homemade, with love, and of course everyone DEVOURED it! When my gorgeous Miss M wanted … [Read more...]
