  • Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Slices

    Allow me to introduce you to one of the easiest and most delicious snacks ever. First, a little secret: I’m not so into bananas. There are actually a handful of things that most people LOVE that I am not all that excited about (chocolate, whipped cream, plus I NEVER really liked bacon so when non-vegans…

  • Gooey Secret-Ingredient Frosted Brownies

    Oh man, I made the best damn brownies last week. I’m sorry if that’s totally pompous, but they were crazy good. So good that I hoarded most of them to myself and slowly ate every single last bite. I shared a little with Preston. I handed him a fork as I clutched the brownie pan…

  • Perfect Spiced Molasses Cookies

    Welcome to the week that will be full of alcohol and baked goods.  Because that’s what my weekend was full of.  Partially influenced by hormones and partly by the cold, I spent my weekend eating surprisingly healthy meals (I loaded up on salads, roasted veggies, surprisingly healthy pasta sauce, and skewered Brussels sprouts from a food…
