Cauliflower Chickpea Salad

This Cauliflower Chickpea Salad has caused some problems. Mainly of the oh-my-god-how-much-fiber-have-I-just-consumed-in-one-sitting problems. If you catch my drift. This salad was probably the first time I really went to town on some vegetables. But it’s oh-so-worth it. I never went back. This is the best way to eat your vegetables. This has been my favorite…

Peanut Butter Nutella Ritz Cracker Cupcakes

These Ritz Cracker Cupcakes were actually an invention of Audrey’s, which she first posted way back in 2014 (ah, simpler times). Now I, Molly, am taking a stab at them. One of the things that sucks about living hundreds of miles away from your sister is that when she makes delicious treats, you can only…

Mango Pina Coladas

Nothing says summer like Pina Coladas. Especially when they’re Mango Pina Coladas. People always say winter is the time for reflection and growth and such, and that summer is the time to live life, have fun, blah blah. But I’ve always found that summer is my time for reflection. Or maybe I’ve just an introvert…

Healthy Turmeric Chicken Salad

This turmeric chicken salad recipe is easy, flavorful, and super healthy, thanks to greek yogurt. Ginger gives it a little kick, and cauliflower rice adds a nice crunch. Enjoy on a sandwich, salad, or by itself. Turmeric is having a moment, isn’t it? I’m seeing it everywhere these days: turmeric lattes, turmeric milkshakes, even turmeric…

The Batter Thickens Update + Frozen Malted Coconut Mocha Recipe

Okay, everyone knows you can’t catch up without coffee. And you can’t have a food blog without food. So of course we’re including a coffee recipe. For those of you who’ve been around for a while, you may have noticed that we’ve basically fallen off the map. Aside from the odd shared link on Facebook…

Fudgy Avocado Brownies + Wrestling With Creativity

My last post to this blog was in June of 2016. My second most recent post was published almost a year before that, in July 2015. I think it’s safe to say I’ve been struggling creatively. With motivation, with finding time (–scratch that, making time), with sitting down and just doing the work. It’s a lot…

Momofuku Cornflake Crunch Cookies: Mix vs. Cookbook

It was just a regular day. A trip to the grocery store. A stroll through the baking aisle to grab some sugar. Then, all of a sudden, I see it. The beautiful, inspiring Momofuku logo. On a boxed mix? Yes. It was a mix to make Momofuku Cornflake Crunch Cookies at home. Naturally, I impulse…

Blueberry Lemon and Vanilla Layer Cake

I was going to title this, “Vanilla Cake with Lemon Cheesecake Filling, Milk Crumb, and Blueberry Frosting” but that seems like a lot. Even “Blueberry Lemon and Vanilla Layer Cake” is a lot. There’s just a lot of layers in this cake. But it’s definitely worth it. School started last Monday and it’s hit me…

PB Cap’n Crunch Cookies

Peanut Butter Captain Crunch may be my favorite classic cereal. I’ve honestly never bene much of a cereal for breakfast kind of person. It’s just too much in the morning, with all the milk and then the cereal getting soggy. And I always, ALWAYS, inevitably pour myself too big a bowl and get uncomfortably full…

Cream Cheese Carrot Cake Ice Cream

It’s finally here: Ice cream season. Some of you may refer to this season by it’s more common name—summer—but my feelings about summer are grudging at best. It’s hot. It’s steamy. It kind of feels like I’m marinating in my own sweat and tears every time I spend more than 10 minutes outside. Homemade ice cream is one of…
