When Nick and I were at his Dad’s house in Missouri over the 4th of July, Kelly made us some Quinoa Breakfast Cookies. Being the lover of quinoa that I am, I was instantly intrigued. Well, it turns out they aren’t made with whole quinoa, but quinoa flour! They were also awesome, and I knew…
Oatmeal Everything Cookies
So I felt bad for Nick and his classmates working SO hard lately, and decided to make them cookies. Then I visited their squadron building yesterday. Work? Uhmmm, yeah right. There is more booze in that place than I had in my college dorm room! Work hard, play hard… I guess? Hmmm, I suppose they…
Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect texture– crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle. The chocolate chips are the perfect compliment to the salty peanut butter! If you have even the tiniest lack of self control, do not make these. Seriously. When you’re curled up in a ball on…
Lemon Poppy Seed Scones
These Lemon Poppy Seed Scones are the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. They pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee! This recipe was inspired by a new food to hit my kitchen, that I’ve never really used or cooked with before: poppy seeds! More interesting than the recipe, though, is how these…
Guacamummus Avocado Hummus
This Avocado Hummus– or “Guacamummus”– is the perfect smooth combination of creamy avocado and chick peas. It’s lightly spiced with guacamole flavors and the perfect healthy snack paired with veggies or tortilla chips! Admittedly, this dip is not very photogenic, but I promise you it is oh so delicious. I mean, we love hummus, we…
Strawberry Salsa
I’ve always loved the combination of sweet & salty. Chocolate covered pretzels? Yes, please! Dunkin’ Donuts everything bagels with strawberry cream cheese? You betcha. Margaritas? Mmmmm. So when Nick’s Aunt Diane sent me a recipe for Strawberry Salsa, I jumped right on it! Though Nick questions some of my salty/sweet combos, I was pretty sure…
Spent Grain Pecan Raisin Granola Bars
It hasn’t been very long since Nick brewed a batch of beer and I made dog treats from the spent grain. Since then, though, he’s already brewed 2 more batches! He’s on a bit of a frenzy, but I can’t complain… at least it this hobby is much more rewarding for me than his playing…
Mike Squared Grilled Wings {Sweet & Spicy Grilled Wings}
Today’s recipe comes jointly from 2 of the many Mikes in my life, though they didn’t collaborate on it; they don’t even know each other. I just happen to know a couple Mikes who both love and make great wings. I decided to combine both of their efforts to make something amazing. Mike Squared Grilled…
