some mornings you just don't have time to whip up a big breakfast.  that's when these squares come in handy.  awesome choice for when you need breakfast on the go!

eggplant gratin

5/2/2012

 
i love eggplant.  i love discovering new ways to prepare eggplant.  this recipe is by far one of my favorites.  it's so easy to prepare and is a delicious side dish to any meal.

 
this is one of our go-to meals when we're short on prep time but want an impressive spread.  just chop up the bok choy, cabbage, and mushrooms; season; and throw on a baking sheet.  after 12 minutes of baking, you're all set!

mashed potatoes

whipping up a big batch of light and fluffy mashed potatoes is ALWAYS a good idea.  i can eat mashed potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  i can have mashed potatoes as a side dish or main dish.  the bigger the batch, the better!  this recipe is a sure bet, every time.

peach cobbler

4/23/2012

 
it's about time i uploaded this recipe! i used my great-grandmother's delicious peach cobbler recipe.  you do a little measuring and a little mixing, pop it in the oven, and bam! you're serving peach cobbler to your friends and family before you know it!

 
i love peanut butter (i can eat it by the spoonful).  i also love cookies.  so i decided it was time to make a batch of these lovely peanut butter cookies!

banoffee pie

4/5/2012

 
i don't like a lot of banana flavored foods.  i like bananas on their own but i'm always skeptical of recipes involving bananas.  that's why i was hesitant to even take a bite of banoffee pie.  but once i did, i was hooked and i had to go back for seconds.  if you don't like bananas in recipes too, this will be the pie that converts you.

 
honey. glazed. carrots.  such a great way to make eating carrots more glamorous.  i might start glazing everything with honey from now on!

 
need a quick on-the-go snack?  whip up a big batch of this honey cinnamon granola and you're set!  when you're done preparing the granola, pre-package into ziplock baggies to take with you anywhere.  i made this batch with raisins.

 
coconut coated cod.  need I say more?  add a squirt of lime to REALLY bring out the flavor.
