My new FAVORITE Brookie
Ever since Brookies came onto the scene a few years back I have been LOVING them. There is just something so yummy about bringing together 2 of my favorites, brownies and chocolate chip cookies. A little something extra As much as I love the traditional brookie I wanted to add in a little something extra…some caramel. Now I could have just used some salted caramel sauce or caramel candy but I thought rolo’s would really put these brookies over the top. The rolo candy not only adds in a little caramel but also an extra bit of chocolate making these brookies truly something to remember. Even the batter looks…

bringing some fireworks to the dinner table

A good morning makes a GREAT day
A good morning, in my opinion, really can make a BIG difference in how your day turns out. For me I like to have a routine to help ensure a good day…and this is it. I am not perfect Don’t get me wrong I don’t follow this step by step EVERYDAY but I try to as much as I can. The hardest one for me is to not reach for my phone. I instinctively wake up and want to see what notifications I have, or what emails have come through, but when I don’t and take a few minutes for me it makes such a difference. I find that…

turning everyone into a sprout lover
OK, I know not everyone loves Brussels Sprouts, but I think I can change their minds with these sprouts. They are tender, crispy and loaded with tons of flavor that will make everyone love them. Just a little crisp The beauty of these brussels sprouts is that they have just a bit of crunch and it is from baking them…no frying involved. I don’t know why but I just love a little crunch on my side dish. To make these just the right amount of crispy…it is all about the panko bread crumbs. I have always been a fan of these super crunchy breadcrumbs but using them with brussels sprouts…

For me summer means it is time to indulge a little and these lemon bars are a perfect treat, and even better they are gluten free making it even more perfect for all of our family and friends. I have several friends who are living a gluten free life, and I am so, so impressed with them, but I know it can sometimes be hard for them when they are out with family and friends to enjoy everything…especially dessert, so I…
