Spicy Gingersnap Cookies
There is just something about baking with spices in colder weather, and one of my all-time spiced favorites is the gingersnap. The pungent ginger and warm cinnamon can comfort you on even the coldest winter evening. Or any other time …
Coconut Blueberry Granola
I eat yogurt for breakfast almost every morning, and my favorite topping is granola. Don’t get me wrong, some days I like to mix in a big spoonful of homemade cinnamon plum jam, or some chocolate chips and honey, but …
Sesame Caraway Crackers {Healthy Snacking}

Mushroom Balsamic Chicken
This is quite possible the easiest chicken recipe, but it’s so delicious and devoured every time. Make sure to use lots of mushrooms because they are the best part! I like baby bella mushrooms, but you could also use shitake, …
S’mores Brownies
Sometimes you just need a fun dessert. Also sometimes you need to use up a bag of mini marshmallows you bought for Passover and never ended up making into anything. These s’more brownies were a huge hit; they could also …
