Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake

May 15th, 2013Tina10 Comments

My family loves baked goodies for breakfast. Since they are in the area visiting I couldn’t resist making them something. I’ve never made a coffee cake before and let me tell you that I’m in love with this recipe! This was my first shot at this glorious morning goody and I wouldn’t change a single thing, which is rare since part of why I love cooking is for the fun of tweaking recipes. Now I’m excited to share this with you, unabridged. 🙂 This cake is so moist and buttery. The cinnamon and sugar filling is sweet, but not too sweet, …

Roasted potatoes are so simple to prepare that I almost felt guilty posting about it. I, like most people I’m sure, know the concept – use potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. However, how much olive oil do I use? What temperature do I set my oven? How long do I cook them for? These were all questions that I had and I thought maybe others did too which is why I decided to post about these delicious potatoes. Ina Garten to my rescue! She gave me all the answers I needed and I in turn hope I can help you. If you are looking …

Homemade Granola

April 22nd, 2013Tina6 Comments

Granola is awesome. Yup, that’s a fact. 😉 Let’s see. It’s tasty and it can be eaten in a variety of ways to suit your mood. I used to eat store-bought granola all the time until I started reading labels. Many of the ones in the store are full of sugar, fat, and processed ingredients. What?! I was shocked. A food that is typically sold as “healthy” isn’t always so. That taught me it is important to read food labels. Most store-bought granola isn’t doing me any favors on my weight loss journey, so I stopped eating …

I think I’m obsessed with muffins. Wait, let me re-phrase that…I AM obsessed with muffins! I have been eating them for breakfast every day lately. It’s not the worst thing in the world to eat for breakfast, right? 😉 My husband tells me that I’m basically eating a cupcake without frosting. Oooh, frosting on muffins. He may be on to something.

Maybe I should re-name these the “Incredible Strawberry Muffins.” That’s …
