Easy Fruit Oatmeal Bars
Having three kids and feeding them healthy can sometimes be an overwhelming task. I’m always on the search for healthy and easy snacks that can also be doubled so that I can freeze the additional batch for future use. My kids love several of the bars you can purchase from Trader Joe’s but I have to buy at minimum two boxes, hiding one, and having one last until dusk the day I purchase them. Six bars per box doesn’t last long in our house so I’ve been wanting to make homemade bars to save money. Last week I was craving oatmeal bars and also had a nice new jar of…
Strawberry Banana Crumb Muffins
I was thinking of making a scone with some of the extra strawberries I had on hand but after searching around I found a strawberry banana muffin recipe on the Joy of Baking website that looked really good. This recipe worked out perfect because I also had ripe bananas. The original recipe did not include a crumb topping but I decided to add one from my favorite banana crumb muffin recipe. I made half of the batch without the crumb topping and half with. The half without the crumb topping was good but the half with the crumb topping was super delish.
Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting
The other day I found myself with 4 very ripe bananas on my counter that needed my attention. I thought of making some banana muffins or banana bars but realized I’ve never made a banana cake. So the search was on for a banana cake recipe. I found a recipe that looked promising and I started the process of doctoring it up to make it healthier. I replaced half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce, added vanilla extract, reduced sugar, and substituted low fat milk and sour cream for the buttermilk. With all of the changes made my cake still turned out moist and flavorful. I had planned to make…
Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Carrot cupcakes seemed like a perfect match for my first Easter brunch. I chose this recipe after reading great reviews and seeing that the ingredients were healthy. I didn’t have to do my usual tweaking that I so often like to do ;-). I only omitted the nuts due to some allergies in the family. These cupcakes turned out moist and flavorful, tasting wonderful on their own. Let me tell you though the cream cheese frosting was a perfect match for the cupcake, giving it just a little something extra in each bite. These carrot cupcakes definitely helped in making my first brunch a success.
Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies
I’ve been searching high and low for a vanilla bean cookie recipe to make so that I could try out some of my recently purchased vanilla bean paste. I can’t believe how long I’ve let it just sit in my baking drawer unused! I ended up finding a recipe on where else, Allrecipes. Did I ever mention why I love sites like Allrecipes? Well first off I’m a review-aholic and when I go on the hunt for a new recipe I love to read several reviews on it before making it. Now that I’ve found so many wonderful food blogs I can say that a photograph speaks just as loud…
