Let the Holidays Begin! First Holiday Bake!

It’s my favorite time of the year! I absolutely love the month of December for a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is the coziness that this season brings.

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

I think the other day was National Pancake Day, and although I can appreciate a good pancake, I have to say I’m more of a waffle fan. Lucky for me, I got the cutest little waffle maker for Christmas. I’ve whipped up waffles a few times since then, but this weekend I was really craving […]

Healthy Brownies: A Valentine’s Day Treat

Every year for Valentine’s Day I make Chad his favorite dessert, brownies. He’s not a big sweets fan, but if there’s one treat that he can devour, it’s a big pan of chocolate gooey fudgey brownies. This year, as a build up to Valentine’s Day, I decided to test out a healthy brownies recipe. To […]

New Year’s Eve: Champagne Cocktail

Tomorrow officially marks the beginning of 2018. Can you believe it? 2018 seems like such a foreign and far off number to me, but crazy enough, that’s our reality! I have so many goals, aspirations, and intentions for 2018, but tonight I plan on celebrating all that 2017 had to offer. It was a year […]
