But These Brown Sugar Walnut Shortbread Cookies give you delicious homemade flavor, with just 4 simple ingredients and only 10 minutes of prep time! Why…
Antipasto Skewers with Pesto
These Antipasto Skewers with Pesto are delicious skewers of fresh mozzarella balls, olives, salami, prosciutto, basil, and cherry tomatoes, all brushed with flavorful pesto immediately before serving. Pesto is hands down one of my favorite ingredients in the fridge. I’d go so far as to say that a fridge without pesto feels a little empty. Pesto is…
Maple Oat Scones-With White Chocolate Drizzle
Just like the at the coffee shop, these Maple Oat Scones with White Chocolate Drizzle are the perfect companion to a hot cup of coffee. I had about an 18 month stint working as a Barista and Starbucks inside of Vons. One of my favorite treats that we sold was Maple Oat Scones. At the…
Espresso Cream Cheese Brownies
After a recent day full of shopping, we decided to recharge at Coffee Bean. Upon entering, there was a large photo of their new Espresso Cream Cheese Brownies that immediately caught my eye. Espresso had been on my mind after finding out that my favorite coffee store, Nespresso, opened up at the very mall that…
Game Changing Popcorn
Move over fake nacho cheese sauce, we’ve got a fabulous game day snack that will not have you running to the local pharmacy for some antacids! Popcorn is one of my guilty pleasures and I absolutely love munching on it while watching the game with my husband. He, on the other hand, is not…
Gluten Free Granola Bars
As quickly as it started, summer is quickly coming to an end. Soon the permanent sand toy spot will be replaced with backpacks and lunch boxes. There will no longer be late breakfasts and watermelon lunches. Our days will be full of school and sports instead of beaches and pools. As much fun as it…
Reese’s Spreads Granola Bars #AnySnackPerfect #CollectiveBias
I received compensation and information and/or free product from The Hershey Company and/or Collective Bias. All opinions expressed within are my own. Lunches this year have been quite the challenge. At the kid’s old school, hot lunch was so inexpensive that it just made sense to have them buy it. Now having moved to private…
Pickled Radish Crostinis
The Seaside Baker has teamed up with Dandy to bring you a healthy Halloween treat. Can you believe that it is almost Halloween? I can’t! Time has seriously flown by. Between class parties and Trick-or-treating, I know that my children will be spending most of Halloween in a sugar rush. This is why I absolutely insist…

Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies with Sea Salt
I love baking (as you probably know by now) and I love coming up with ridiculous concoctions. But sometimes, we all just need a bit of comfort food and soft chocolate chip cookies are just that! These cookies are fabulous. I used some homemade vanilla sugar that made deliciously sweet. I always have a jar…
Pumpkin Spiced Cream Cheese Filled Medjool Dates and a Recap from the Medjool Date Blogger Summit
Last month I was invited by Natural Delights to attend the first ever Medjool Date Blogger Summit in Yuma, Arizona. It was quite the rare experience! Last year, I visited some date gardens and fell in love. This year however, we visited the gardens during harvest season and were able to pick (something you all…
Sea Salt Caramel Vanilla Bean Cupcakes
At the end of every semester I feel really guilty. Come finals week, I usually only have condiments and expired milk in the fridge. My children’s vegetable intake consists of ketchup and tater tots, and they have to fish through a couch full of clean laundry to find a clean sock. Once I finally come…
