Since the pandemic hit, I’ve gone down hill in many ways, making excuses in my health, relationships and business. This year I am […] Read more…
Tis the season for all things apples. We went apple picking as a family last weekend and have SO many apples! So far I’ve made an apple crisp, baked apple donuts and some apple puree for the baby. Every year I make a batch of Cranberry Applesauce. Not only is it incredibly delicious but it […] Read more…
I can’t tell you the number of banana breads I have made over the years- its countless.

Yet I’ve […] Read more…

Or some oven baked taquitos?? Today though I’m bringing out my inner mixologist to create 4 […] Read more…
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…
Super easy marinara sauce coming your way! For those of you that don’t know, I’m Italian. And every Italian girl loves her sauce.
