PEACE ~ LOVE ~ COOKING
My very favorite cookie! I remember calling my brother sometime during my pregnancy with my daughter and raving about this cookie and how I was busy baking it almost all the time—his response was “ah, the 3rd trimester” (he has kids too). I giggled and thought…ha, I wish. I still crave and love and bake […]
My sweet friend, Sue taught me how to make this beloved Baklava. She had returned from travels in Turkey where she learned the secrets to amazing Baklava. I have made just two substitutions to her recipe to accommodate the vegan life and if I hadn’t told you, you’d never know. The best thing about this […]
Life is full and busy! Keep these energy balls handy to grab and go. Thank you to my friend, Rob for sharing these great treats after a school PTA meeting one evening. They are well-loved and appreciated. Hope you love them too!
“It smells like cinnamon rolls.” I made my very first coffee cake yesterday and it was a hit! This recipe is easy and made with ingredients you likely have on hand. When we shared the cake with a friend, they raved and insisted it should not be the last time we make this cake. Inspired […]
Kids love poop, it’s hilarious! When the kids and I perfected these treats, they needed a name. Much tastier than poop, of course, I just could not resist keeping the name. We combine creamy peanut butter, crunchy millet, and almond flour and then smother in dark chocolate! There is a good chance you already know […]

“All you need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” – Charles Schultz What is not to love here?! This recipe is so simple, tasty, and healthy! Yes, healthy…fresh strawberries are full of vitamin C and also contain impressive amounts of manganese, potassium, and folate. Chocolate has a powerful variety of […]
Nothing says summer like popsicle juice dripping down your arm. Thanks to our good friend, Yenci, we have learned to make the perfect strawberry lemonade popsicles. We also found some popsicle molds we really like; they are easy to fill, easy to wash, and they are designed to catch the drips…so, you can enjoy the […]
Irresistible! Yes, that sums it up! These little morsels taste much like girl scout thin mint cookies, and are gone just as quickly. This photo just does not do them justice, I promise to update this image soon. I am total work-in-progress.
Merry Christmas and Happy Everything! The best sugar cookie just got a new look! My friend, Susan is far more talented at cookie decorating, so thanks to her for sharing the photo! When we color our homemade frosting, we love to use food coloring made from foods rather than chemicals. There are a variety of […]
