Perfectly Fluffy Biscuits

I am such a sucker for Southern food! I experienced Southern style food here and there growing up, but it wasn’t until I went to school in Tallahassee, Florida at Florida State, that I experienced real Southern food. Tallahassee might as well be Georgia, they are so close!

Cinnamon Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

When someone’s favorite cookie is Oatmeal Raisin, I find that they are very particular about it.They want a certain amount of cinnamon, and some people love them crispy…

Skillet Caprese Chicken

I am always trying to come up with easy dinners that I can make in a short amount of time. One of my favorite ways to save time, and add tons of flavor to a meal is to add pesto. I use pesto in a number of ways from tossing it with chicken or veggies to add to pizza, pasta, or salad.

Sausage, Pepper, and Potato Breakfast Casserole

I have been getting ready for Easter in my house, and with that comes a lot of eggs! I like to “blow out” the eggs so that I can use the raw eggs to cook with, instead of having smelly hardboiled eggs around (tutorial here).

A Healthy Take On The Shamrock Shake With Matcha

I’m pretty sure that the only thing this “shake” and the Shamrock Shake have in common is the fact that they are both green! Don’t hate me, but I am not a huge fan of the very popular seasonal shake!

Whole Wheat Buttermilk Oatmeal Scones with Honey Cinnamon Icing

I know, I know…I make a lot of scones, but they are just so good. I always talk about how convenient scones are to have around, because you can make them ahead of time, and store them in the freezer. The best part is they can go straight from the freezer to the oven!

Oatmeal Cream Scones with Roasted Strawberry Butter

Scones are at the top of my freezer friendly favorites, because they can go straight from the freezer to the oven. I love the convenience! They also happen to be one of my favorite foods, because they are rich, buttery, and crumbly.

Maple and Chia Seed Granola

Granola is one of my favorite staples to have around, because it is a good on-the-go snack that is healthy, and gives you lots of energy. I also love to have it around for a quick breakfast idea. I’m pretty sure I haven’t bought granola from the store for at least 7 years or so now.

Feel Good Truffles

When you think of truffles, don’t you think of something over-the-top rich, decadent, and unhealthy? Full disclosure… classic truffles are not one of my favorite desserts…
