A parfait?  You may be thinking, “Been there.  Done that.”  I never thought I’d post a parfait recipe because there are a bazillion recipes out there (give or take).  Quite frankly, who really needs a recipe for piling fruit, yogurt, and granola together?  However, the key to this recipe is the blueberry filling and I simply had to share it with you.  So who wants blueberry pie for breakfast?  Well, sort of. Blueberry Pie Yogurt Parfait Recipe (About 4 servings) Ingredients for Blueberry Filling: 1 and 1/2 cups blueberries 2 tablespoons white sugar 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon …

What does this have to do with mini doughnuts?  Well, it doesn’t.  I just started an Instagram account, it got me thinking about the topic and …

Strawberry Hand Pies

Being a perfectionist is a lot of work.  I’ve made these strawberry hand pies twice now.  Why?  Not because they are mad delicious (which of course they are) and I want to make them for everyone I know (which I do because they get amazing reviews).  Instead it was because I wasn’t happy with the photographs.  I seriously need to take a chill pill!  The one good thing out of this whole ordeal is that my husband and I get to eat more awesome hand pies! Strawberry Hand Pies Recipe (Makes 9 hand pies) Note:  This recipe requires 1 hour of chilling time. Ingredients for the …
