I love quick breads. I eat them for breakfast, mid-morning snack, afternoon snack, and dessert. No matter the flavor – banana bread, pumpkin bread, zucchini bread, carrot cake loaf, cranberry streusel quick bread – they never last long in our house. This healthier version of zucchini bread is no exception. Not only do I love…

toast toppings, four ways
Each year as students head back to school, I find myself thinking about my own back to school memories. Some of the memories that stick out the most are the dreaded early morning wake-up calls and the bus and carpool rides that were always accompanied by a paper towel wrapped slice of toast. Toast has…
pistachio cinnamon morning buns
I realized last night that after the long weekend last week, I never got around to posting. Whoops! We were on the road on Tuesday and it felt like our routine was totally off until the weekend came and we got a reset. While I missed you last week, these pistachio cinnamon morning buns were…
roasted butternut squash dip
It is officially the holiday season, and with that comes festive appetizer spreads! You know how much I love a good cheese board, and warm roasted butternut squash dip makes any fall or winter cheese board even better. I actually made a version of this dip a few years ago for a baby shower I…
peach, basil, honey, and whipped ricotta toast
I can’t believe I’m giving you a “recipe” for toast. I’m almost sorry, but the flavors of this peach, basil, honey, and whipped ricotta toast are so good that I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share it before the summer stone fruit disappear. There is a coffee shop nearby that has a toast bar…
healthier banana muffins
I don’t like bananas, but somehow, banana bread is one of my favorite comfort foods. There is something about the light cinnamon flavor and the crumb of the quick bread that makes me enjoy my morning, tea, or afternoon snack a little more. I don’t know if it is because I don’t make banana bread…
homemade hummus
2018 has been the summer of cheeseboard dinners in our house and I love it. As someone who loves grazing, small snacks, and variety, a good appetizer spread is one of my favorite ways to have a meal. Each time the selection is slightly different, and it has been fun to experiment with different combinations,…
everything cream cheese pastries
Back in September, my family spent a weekend in Delaware for my cousin’s wedding. One of our favorite things to do when we visit new places is to find a good coffee shop, and that we did. We popped into a cute college-town coffee shop on rainy Saturday morning to grab warm drinks. While we…
healthy breakfast cookies
Tis’ the season for new resolutions and healthy eating. While I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions, I do like having a healthy reset after an indulgent holiday season. Healthy breakfast cookies are the perfect solution. Often times we struggle with healthy eating not because we are unsure of what is healthy and what is…
pumpkin bread with chai crumble
It’s October, which means it’s officially PUMPKIN MONTH!!! If you know me, you know that pumpkin is possibly my favorite flavor ever. Consuming pumpkin treats in the fall is the absolute best way I could experience the season, I just love it so much. I am squirming-in-my-seat excited about all of the fall recipes coming…
