A food blog balancing sweet treats & healthy eats.
After making a bunch of actual s’mores last weekend, I have made s’mores bars and s’mores scones. And I still had more marshmallows and graham crackers. I’ve used up the marshmallows now, but still have half a sleeve of graham crackers left. How many graham crackers do they put in those boxes?! I can at…
Scones are… technically a breakfast food, but… let’s be real. They can be basically cookies. Honestly, I love when a cookie is sort of scone-like. So when a scone is sort of cookie-like? Say less. I’m in. And honestly, the base of this scone isn’t overly sweet. It’s just the marshmallows and milk chocolate that…
My family recently spent a long weekend in Door County so that I could do the Door County Century Ride (a 100 mile bike ride… not-so-subtle flex). We stayed at an incredible AirBnB and made use of their fire pit on the beautiful evenings we got. My mom even purchased some s’more ingredients and roasting…

I recently used up a bunch of my cherry tomatoes making tomato cobbler. But then, guess what? My beefsteak tomatoes needed harvesting and I needed to do something with those! And Joy the Baker clearly knows her tomatoes, because when I saw this tomato tarte, I knew it would be the answer to my continued…
For a while in high school, I feel like this Tomato Cobbler from Joy the Baker was in my family’s rotation for dinners. It’s one of my favorite Joy the Baker recipes, but I sort of forgot about it for a while. However, this summer, I’ve been growing tomatoes in my backyard. When I had…
