A food blog balancing sweet treats & healthy eats.
There’s an Instagram reel that has been fed into my algorithm approximately 700 times, and it’s for these sugar cookie bars that look very tasty. But, I’ve gone to their website, and they do not have the recipe posted! I believe they have some sort of paid subscription thing in order to get access to…
This recipe was a… complete freestyle. But it was good enough that I want it saved here on the blog! I went in with a concept, obviously. I’ve seen a few renditions of chicken gnocchi soup on the internet. But soup is one of those things where you can use whatever vegetables you have and…
I’ve been meaning to make this cake for probably about a year now. It popped up on my feed last year and it just sounded too good not to make. I figured, after a year of having it on my list, a new job is as good a reason as any to finally make it!…

But it’s Easter time and I’ve been seeing Cadbury egg ideas everywhere, so I hopped on the bandwagon. I also…
I seem to have accidentally found myself on a quest. Ever since I made these Old Fashioned Old Fashioned Donuts, I am determined to make baked goods that are Old Fashioned themed.
