Matcha Oatmeal Muffins

Matcha is trending right now, and for good reason. Its floral yet earthy flavor adds fantastic depth to any recipe. Since I am a huge lover of all things breakfast, I wanted to find another way to add matcha to my mornings. These muffins are super easy to make and much healthier than a traditional muffin. I use gluten-free flour, but regular flour (or even whole wheat) can be used as well. It has oatmeal that fills you up and no processed sugar! I recommend using honey or maple syrup.

When it comes to matcha, I recommend getting one that is organic. You don’t need the “ceremonial grade” matcha that is used for matcha lattes. Just grab one that is good quality.

I like to top these with extra oats and a little coconut sugar for crunch. These are best hot and fresh from the oven.

No matcha? No problem. You can leave the matcha out if you want. When I am making these for the kids I leave out the matcha and add in chocolate chips.

Hot Chocolate Madeleine Cookies

Is it a cookie? Is it a cake? Well…it’s a little bit of both! I did this recipe for Christmas in July on Hallmark Channel’s Home and Family show and it would be a perfect Christmas cookie to make for your Christmas now!!

Chocolate Swirled Pumpkin Bread with Spiced Streusel

Is it pumpkin spice season yet?? No? Oh well! As long as they sell canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice in the stores, then it's pumpkin spice season in my books. So, I'm making Chocolate Swirled Pumpkin Bread with Spiced Streusel!

Bonfire Cake

Summer nights aren't complete until you have a bonfire!! So, how about one that you can eat??

This cake is really easy but SUPER impressive! The only things you need for the "fire" are red and butterscotch candies. When you melt them down and give them a swirl with a toothpick, then you have fire.

Banana Cream Pie

I have to say, banana cream pie can have a bad reputation. It was a big deal back in the 1950s but isn't the most popular dessert in our Instagram era of donuts and cake pops! I am here to change that with my updated Banana Cream Pie recipe!

How To Make A Letter Cake

I love when there is a new trend in food. It's either completely ridiculous or completely cool! This one is cool, my friends! We are seeing these letter cakes and number cakes all over Pinterest and Instagram, and I think they are really elegant and beautiful.

Chocolate Chip Biscotti on Hallmark Channel's Home and Family

If you aren't a biscotti lover, don't worry, I have your back! This recipe for biscotti is not your nonna's traditional recipe. These are crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside.

Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake

I love lemon poppy seed anything and everything! What is it about the poppy seeds that make food taste so special?

I’m a sucker for anything with lemon in it, savory and sweet.

Pink Strawberry and Sour Cream Scones

I am a major breakfast lover. I’m pretty sure I could have breakfast at every meal, and be completely content with life. Scones are one of my favorites, but I have to say, I am pretty picky. I am not a fan of soft cakey scones. I like them to be buttery and slightly crumbly.

Roasted Tomato and Zucchini Tart with Burrata and Basil

I am a veggie addict! I know I post how much I love desserts, but my love for veggies is almost, almost, equivalent to my love for sweets. I eat veggies throughout the day, and with every meal. I think I love basically every vegetable out there…yup…can’t think of one I don’t like right now.

Sour Cream Cornbread

Sour cream has to be one of my favorite ingredients ever! It is creamy and rich, silky and tart, while still being slightly sweet. The acidity allows your baking to turn out tender and light when combined with baking powder or baking soda.
