Awe man do I love some banana bread! It reminds me so much of growing up. My mother would double wrap it in foil and store it in the fridge so it would be cold and the top would be sticky. It was delicious! My banana bread isn’t much different from the traditional, with a…

Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Banana Bread
I’ve been making quite a few pumpkin recipes lately and only had about 1/4 cup of pureed pumpkin left in the fridge. I hate throwing out just a tiny bit because pumpkin is so expensive, so I decided to add it to the banana bread that I was making. That was a perfect choice! It…
Cranberry Orange Muffins
When I was reading blogs the other day I ran across a post that made me remember that I had cranberries in the freezer. I had planned on making the ever so popular copycat cranberry bliss bar, but I was out of white chocolate and had oranges, so I thought that I had to make…
Blueberry Muffins with a Cinnamon Streusel Topping
Hmm, I love a warm muffin with a cup of coffee anytime of the year for breakfast. However, I never seem to eat anything with a streusel topping except during the cooler months of the year. That has to change in 2015! I must make these muffins with fresh summer strawberries, because these muffins are…
Iced Pumpkin Scones with a Cinnamon Spiced Drizzle – Vegan Adaptable
Several years ago I was hot and heavy with QVC, meaning I was completely addicted, and watched it nearly 24/7. Ahh, who am I kidding? I was watching it 24/7! However, had I not been watching, I would have never found this particular cook book that I still cook from all the time today. It’s…
Vegan Adaptable Blueberry Poptarts
We are on a homemade poptarts kick lately since Kelsie can’t have the store bought kind, unless they are the organic ones that are $5 a box! Let’s face it groceries are expensive as it is and if I can save money by making my own I’m gonna do it! Plus the flavor of these…
Vegan Blueberry Preserves
I love berries of all shapes and colors. I love them best in smoothies and pies, but I’ll take them just about any way I can get them. My favorite way to eat a blueberry though is not fresh. I am not a fan of the texture. <— I am that person with the texture…
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Poptarts – Vegan Adaptable
Poptarts are one of those fast breakfasts that every kid seems to love. While a lot of parents lately seem to loathe. The ingredients and sugar in the iconic breakfast pastry is just ridiculous. They have made something so easy, with such few ingredients, into a science experiment with our kids as the guinea pigs….
Pumpkin Pie Poptarts – Vegan Adaptable
Store bought poptarts are loaded with all sorts of sugars, unnatural flavors, and unnecessary dyes that aren’t good for anybody. When we learned that Kelsie had food allergies, one main breakfast was out the window and that was poptarts. We loved them for their fast to fix, easy to carry around breakfast that everybody knows…
Baked Apple Cider Donuts
I love apple cider and I love donuts, so why not just put the two together? Exactly. I make a delicious apple cider, thanks to my niece, and I just so happen to have made some the other day. There was only enough left for a little more than one cup, and let’s face it,…
Caramel Apple Scones – Vegan Adaptable
My perfect Saturday morning is a hot cup of coffee with the works and a warm fall flavored scone. I have been making scones for years, the pumpkin kind, but when I saw a recipe for a caramel apple version, I knew that I had to make it. It’s finally September here, but the weather…
Pumpkin Apple Muffins (vegan adaptable)
School is back in session and fall is literally right around the corner. Even though the weather here is still hot as all get out, I am in the fall mood. I’m ready for that cool crisp weather, apple cider, hot cocoa, soups, and pumpkin everything! I decided to combine two of my favorite flavors…
