Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

April 29th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Where are all my peanut butter and chocolate lovers at? The other day I was flipping through my binder of recipes to look for some inspiration. I was never a fan of recipe cards so I used a binder instead. Do you remember the days before the internet was full of recipe pages and food blogs? Anyway, I came across this cookie recipe and I realized that it had been too long since I had last made them. So here I am making them for you. I definitely recommend buying more mini peanut butter cups than the recipe calls for. You …

Classic Rice Krispies Treats

April 25th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Are you ready for a blast from the past? I’ve been wracking my brain to try to come up with a fun take on the original Rice Krispies treats recipe. (I blame the food blogger in me.) Nothing seemed to sound nearly as good as the originals. In fact, a few years ago I made triple chocolate Rice Krispies treats in an attempt to be creative with the cereal. They were tasty, but they were just not the same as the real deal. At the end of the day, I decided to put my creativity aside and go with making the recipe that …

Coconut Chocolate Chip Bars

April 22nd, 2016Tina0 Comments

I’m celebrating Friday with chocolate and coconut (not that I really need a reason to have chocolate). These bars are little squares of cakey goodness. But guess what? There is no wheat flour going on here. They are made with coconut “flour.” They get their sweetness from the coconut flakes, chocolate chips and maple syrup instead of piles of sugar. Crazy, right? Well to me it sort of is because I’m used to baking with flour, butter, and sugar. You know, all the fatty delicious food groups. In my continued efforts to get ready for short sleeves, shorts, and (gulp) bathing suits …

Whole Wheat Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

How do you use your ripe bananas that are about to go bad? I had some bananas to use and clearly I like to turn them into baked goodies. Hello, sweet junkie, at your service. When I bake with bananas I have one kind of important rule… I need to have all the ingredients on hand already. The timing on bananas is just too sensitive to go grocery shopping before I can make something. I need to use them the second I’ve made up mind it’s time. If I don’t use the bananas that exact second they’ll grow legs and …

Almond Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

March 2nd, 2016Tina0 Comments

Do you get obsessed when you find a new ingredient that you love? Right now I’m into baking with coconut oil and coconut sugar. Do you bake with coconut sugar? If so, do you use it because of a particular health reason or because you like the flavor? I’m curious. It sounds like coconut sugar has some good benefits, but I don’t really have a strong opinion one way or the other. I’m just having fun experimenting with it, especially since I’ve had some successful recipes lately. I still bake mostly with white and brown sugars. I recently ran out of the paleo chocolate …
