Grilled Buffalo Chicken + My 500th Post

500 posts? Say what? It’s hard to believe that I have been around for that long. To all my followers new and old, thank you! I love this little space of mine and truly hope that you all do too. I’ve learned so much, gained confidence and tried so many new techniques that I never

It’s Shark Week Peeps!

I professed my love for Shark Week last year with some yummy shark/ocean themed treats and I totally planned on doing it again this year. But then I didn’t. Sorry.  I fell off the wagon a bit with my healthy eating with birthdays and vacations so I’m back at it and therefore, haven’t been baking much.

Rocky Road Ice Cream

If you all have been following me for awhile, you know that Joel and I are not big chocolate lovers. It has it’s place in cookies and such but for me, not as the main star. I’ve never been a fan of chocolate cake (except for my sister-in-laws) or chocolate ice cream but somehow Noah got

Homemade Ketchup {Clean Eating}

One of the hardest things for me when I started making eating clean a priority was condiments. I love dip, you may even call it an addiction. Although ketchup is never my first choice in condiments (gasp, how un-American of me) it is necessary during grilling season for burgers and hot dogs! So when I

Roasted Garlic Chicken Bacon and Gouda Pizza

Have you had enough of all my talk about roasted garlic yet? If you have, so sorry but here’s one last recipe for awhile. I told you I was going to share this with you last week but life happened and this didn’t. This pizza has some of my very favorite things in life, chicken, bacon,

It’s National Doughnut Day!

It’s National Doughnut Day so let’s celebrate. I have to admit that I haven’t made a whole lot of doughnuts in my time but I sure have eaten my fair share. I have to say my favorites are the classic blueberry cake and lemon filled covered in powdered sugar. Today I’m going to share some delicious looking doughnuts
