Chocolate crepe cake with salted caramel is simple to make and absolutely stunning! Crepe cakes are an impressive way to conjure up a spectacular dessert without turning on the oven. When my old oven finally bit the bullet recently, I thought it was a sign from the baking gods to share my recipe for this decadent and delicious crepe cake! Components of this chocolate crepe cake This chocolate crepe cake has several components (but overall, the recipe is easy),...

I also vaguely remember making homemade taffy for some kind of pioneer-related activity when I was a kid, but it wasn’t saltwater taffy and it wasn’t flavored, it was just a glob of gooey sugar. But even if it was kind of gross, it was really fun. And then we stumbled into this clip from Friends not too long ago, and I decided my kids needed to make taffy and that for the sake of deliciousness, it needed to be saltwater taffy....

Until recently, I had very few (and always unpleasant) experiences with cornbread dressing. First: Cold oyster stuffing (made with canned oysters), actually stuffed inside the bird, sitting on the counter for several hours. So wrong on so many levels. Second: the Side Dish of Choice at Southern Thanksgiving. And it was always kind of gummy with a weird aftertaste. While I have been able to get on board with many Southern culinary traditions (hello, meat pies!...

Save those bad boys, sauté ’em up and serve them with chunks of roasted beets for a flavorful and healthy side dish. I promise you will not be disappointed. Well, not by the taste at least… I can’t be held accountable if you get a little sad about all the beet greens you’ve tossed in the past....

Seven Layer Bars (also known as Magic Bars and Coconut Dream Bars) are a sweet lover’s dream. The buttery graham cracker base is sprinkled with layers and layers of chocolate, coconut, nuts, and marshmallows.

You can usually find these vintage cookie bars at bake sales, around the holidays, or for sale in coffee shops....

He sheepishly admitted to getting into the bleach-based cleaners I keep put away from kiddo’s reach and was positive he was getting in big trouble when I told him to immediately remove his shirt and go get the cleaning products he was using. I actually wasn’t mad at all. Props to a kid taking initiative to clean his bathroom. Instead I had a better idea. The shirt was already kind of ruined, and the little spot looked like tie-dye, so we headed out to the back yard where I let him douse the rest of his shirt to match....

Ahh, the weekend felt gloriously long. And full of tons of family fun! Which is leaving me ready to tackle the week. A good feeling on a Monday. So let’s move right along to today’s recipe… I’m so excited to share this super duper easy slow cooker apple butter that has no sugar added. It’s so easy, so perfectly sweet and so appropriate for slathering on everything this fall. I actually didn’t know until I made apple butter for the first time years ago that there’s not any butter in it....

One of the things that I find so amazing about this recipe is that it is SO simple and so cheap–I mean, the ingredients list is pretty sparse and things you likely already have in your refrigerator and pantry. And yet these are the most delicious refried beans I have ever eaten. This is just something everyone needs to learn to make so when payday is 3 days away or when you haven’t been to the grocery store in 2 weeks or when we’re in the throes of a zombie apocalypse, at least you’ll have something incredibly yummy to eat....

This post is sponsored by the American Dairy Association Mideast. As always, as thoughts and opinions are my own. We love some chickpeas in my house. All the ways, all the time. I always have at least a couple cans in the pantry, and I usually have a few bags in the freezer too since I make crock pot chickpeas from dried beans. (Super easy to do overnight and they get so soft and creamy - perfect for making hummus!...

5 15 Published May 04, 2016, Updated Jul 05, 2023 Since being home I’ve thumbed through the pages of the book multiple times and it’s ah-MA-zing. Seriously, Dana is a genius in the kitchen (and behind the camera) and the cookbook is filled with delicious, plant-based (vegan) recipes and most of them are gluten-free as well. I’m not sure if it’s the beautiful photos or the vast amount of recipes to choose from (there’s over 100), but I was having the hardest time deciding what to try first....

Let’s Cook! One thing I like about this recipe is that you make just enough dressing to use on the salad. Sometimes I go crazy with homemade dressings and have jars all over my fridge that I end up tossing out after a while. So it’s nice that this one gets used up in one meal! Just whisk or shake and you’re done. Speaking of homemade dressings, this salad would also be awesome with this Creamy Lime-Cilantro Ranch, or this Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette, or even the dressing from this Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad....

9 Published Mar 22, 2018, Updated Dec 28, 2023 Through connecting with blog readers and health coaching clients I’ve learned that most people know what foods are healthy and they want to cook more but they truly struggle to find the time and energy to put healthy meals together at home. Meal planning and prepping seems overwhelming and if you’re just getting started with healthy eating it can be confusing to know which foods are actually healthy....

I’m posting my scandalous little treat on Friday, but for today, I want to share a really cool tutorial. I kind of thought I was a genius until I told Sara what I was posting and she told me that she already has a tutorial all photographed. It’s kind of rough sharing a brain sometimes. Not only is this super impressive (my 6-year-old told me that he thought the way my cupcakes were “designed” was awesome), but it’s a fun and easy way to implement different colors when you’re decorating cupcakes....
