Healthier Banana Bread

I can’t tell you the number of banana breads I have made over the years- its countless. I have tried many different recipes, developed a few of my own and finally I feel like I have a good one that isn’t letting me down! Banana bread should be decently healthy I’ve always thought. Yet I’ve […] Read more…

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes for the WIN over here at the Crowe house! A local restaurant we visit often makes these insanely delicious lemon ricotta pancakes topped with lemon curd and I can’t get enough! I order them almost every time we go there. However, with us being quarantined at home now, I need to still […] Read more…

New York Style Bagels

One thing I miss most about living in NYC are the bagels. NYC sure knows how to make a good bagel, and now that I live down in North Carolina, it is hard to find a bagel like the ones I used to get in New York. I worked in Brooklyn and on Fridays at […] Read more…

Baked French Toast

What better way to start your weekend with some warm baked french toast! I hate sitting around the stove flipping pieces of french toast and then trying to keep them warm for the family to eat together. Baked french toast is a way to serve it all at once and get that same great french […] Read more…

The first time I had Crunchy French Toast was about 8 years ago in Marco Island, Florida at this great restaurant called NeNe’s Kitchen. Myself as well as my whole family fell […] Read more…

Coconut Banana Muffins | Whole30

Yes, yes, yes!! Been craving some type of “carby baked good” lately. And I know, I know, TECHNICALLY you aren’t suppose to create muffins or other baked goods on Whole30 with Whole30 ingredients, but hear me out… My husband and I embarked on Whole30 in January and we did great with it! We decided to […] Read more…

Sunday Morning Waffles

Just like Sunday morning pancakes, I also love Sunday morning waffles. Any type of big hot breakfast is a good start to my Sunday’s and waffles are a winner. As many of you know lately I’ve been trying to eat less gluten. I find when I do eat gluten I feel more lethargic and my […] Read more…

Coconut Almond Granola

Anyone else a huge fan of granola? I love adding it to my dairy-free yogurt, smoothie bowls, oats, banana nice cream, anything really. Just eating it from the bag is enjoyable too! Lots of granolas these days have some fantastic ingredients in them, but are still filled with refined sugars… and LOTS OF IT.  Make […] Read more…

Insanely Easy Vegan Pancakes!

Sunday morning. Sleeping in, staying in pajamas until whenever you want and taking it easy. I love Sunday’s. There is something truly special about them. I love waking up and knowing I just get to relax toady. If it’s football season, even better. My husband and I will either go to a local bar or […] Read more…
