Whole Wheat Mini Pumpkin Muffins

November 3rd, 2017Tina0 Comments

The age old question this time of the year, are you a pumpkin or apple food person? Pumpkin pie, apple cake, pumpkin cookies, apple pie… there are so many delicious goodies and so little time. I love them all. I will say that I’ve never found an apple muffin that rocked my world, but I do love pumpkin muffins. I’ve made a variety of pumpkin muffins over the years but this is the first time I’ve made whole wheat pumpkin muffins. I’ve never made whole wheat muffins of any flavor actually, so I thought I’d try something different. Whole wheat …

Chocolate Chip Cookie Whoopie Pies

November 1st, 2017Tina17 Comments

Have you ever had a cookie whoopie pie?! It’s life changing. (I may be being a bit dramatic, but I’m kinda right. 😉 ) First of all, let’s address the elephant in the room. I took a little break from blogging because my husband and I went on vacation. We took a 9 day road trip from home to Maine, and then on to New Brunswick, Canada and finally to Prince Edward Island, Canada. (And then obviously all those things backwards as we made our way home.) We had a wonderful time and of course I’ll share all the details …

7 Make Ahead Lunches

October 13th, 2017Tina0 Comments

If you’ve been reading my blog lately, then you know that I’m really into making my lunches on Sundays or the night before. Before we know it, we’ll be in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, which means that life is going to get more hectic. I thought I’d share some of my favorite oldie but goodie recipes that are great lunch options to make ahead of time. For me, that means it reheats well and still tastes delicious or if it’s a cold option that it holds up well in the fridge for some time. My husband’s requirements are that …

Avocado Egg Salad

Mayonnaise and I have a strange relationship. Sometimes I’m okay with it, other times it weirds me out completely and I don’t even want to open the jar. I’ll eat mayo in a salad or on a sandwich if there’s not a lot of it and if it looks appetizing. Even better if I don’t know it’s even in there, or at least didn’t have to be the one to apply it. When I do decide it’s a worthy meal additive, I anticipate that I’ll only eat a few bits and skip the rest on my plate but then I proceed …

Overnight Oats

October 6th, 2017Tina6 Comments

I’m obsessed with oatmeal. I’ve been loving hot oatmeal for breakfast lately. There’s something so delicious and comforting about it. It’s warm and hearty and makes a delicious autumn meal. I prefer the plain kind (I may have gotten this preference from my husband) and then I top it with fruit and cinnamon. Blueberries are my favorite to add but we’re getting to that time of year when they start to get crazy expensive and they stop tasting good (really a rather bad combo). Now I’m using raisins instead, and those are perfect all year round. A few months ago …
