Feel Better Soon Banana Oatmeal
Since December, we’ve been sick on and off at our house. It has not been awesome, and from what I can tell, nearly everyone I know has had some sort of bug lately. So, today, I wanted to share a very easy oatmeal recipe I made for Ellie when she was starting to feel better.…

Lemon Blueberry Scones
Easter is coming up folks. What are you making? Not sure, yet? Can I recommend these scones? Several years ago, I was a scone making machine.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pancakes
Today’s decadent and simple meal was inspired by my dad in celebration of Father’s Day. I had originally imagined making STEAK and POTATOES and other manly, Midwestern food, but whenever I think of my dad and food, chocolate chip cookies are the first thing that comes to mind.

Strawberry Almond Muffins
Strawberry Almond Muffins taste like the best parts of spring. Slightly nutty and studded with bright berries, these little beauties took me three tries to get right. When making the first batch, I accidentally turned off the oven. The second didn’t have enough flour. Despite the mistakes, every round still tasted pretty good, but in my…
