Well, I officially have a 10 year old! It may be a weird time in our world to be having a birthday, but you better be damn sure that I wasn’t about to let anything get in the way of my daughter having the BEST time while turning the big 1-0.
My inspiration for this cake came with us deciding to have a ‘disco dance party’ for the birthday. And what goes better with disco other than tie-dye. Between that and remembering my Dark Chocolate ‘Crazy Cake’ so fondly, I decided to put the two together…
Skinny 'Oatmeal Cookie' Baked Amish Oatmeal
We’re only on day two of Austin’s ‘shelter in place’ orders and it already seems like we’ve been stuck inside for a couple of months already. Though, that’s probably because of the self-quarantine that most of us had already been on for the weeks leading up to the shelter in place. Somehow amidst all the chaos my family was able to get our hands on enough pantry staples and frozen foods to last for the duration.
With that in mind, I’m doing my best to stick to recipes that are not only delicious and nutritious, but also that are made with simple ingredients that most should have on hand or that are easy to swap for alternatives! This Skinny 'Oatmeal Cookie' Baked Amish Oatmeal is exactly that…

These lemon bars were a request from my fabulous aunt when she was down visiting Austin recently. She had mentioned that she loves to bake and was asking for some suggestions on lighter treats that were easy to pull together when having dinner with friends or family...
Read MoreEverything Chicken Salad
It’s a wide world of crazy out there right now. Things are being shut down left and right and groceries are scarce at this point to say the least. Until things return to normal, I’m doing my part in staying around home and coming up with simple, easy to make recipes that can hopefully be made with just a few staple pantry ingredients that everyone should have on hand.
This Everything Chicken Salad is one such recipe! Chicken salad is pretty much a fail-safe bite that’s full of protein, easy to make, and fairly versatile as it can be used as a dip, spread, or stand-alone. Being as I always always have ‘everything seasoning’ on hand, I thought I could put the two together!…
Read MoreSkinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
Welp. With my kids school being on extended Spring Break for at least another week, I thought I would spend some time baking. These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls were pretty much at the top of the list to make because… It’s strawberry season and who can say no to a homemade cinnamon roll of any kind?
These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are scratch made with a lightly sweetened cake and a quick and easy strawberry filling. Over the top is a lightened up cream cheese drizzle that really takes these sweet bites of heaven to the next level…
Read MoreBAYF (Big as your Face) Breakfast Burrito
As it states, this is a BIG breakfast burrito. It’s as big as your face! So big in fact, you may just want to share it with someone! This breakfast burrito has all the traditional breakfast burrito favorites like: bacon, eggs, cheese, peppers, and of course even some avocado.
It’s not rolled up in the traditional tortilla though. No, this breakfast burrito is wrapped up in a more health conscious sheet of lavash bread. Less calories, great flavor, and it holds up really well to being used for a wrap!…
