Cornbread is not always an easy dish to make. It sounds simple. But sometimes the end result is dry. So very, very dry. I already have a buttermilk corn muffin recipe that turns out very tender but I’m also lazy. Most days I strive to make wholesome, from scratch meals, but I’m a realist too. Some days, you need a little extra help to get dinner on the table. While I firmly agree that you should limit the amount of processed food you eat, I would argue that dining out really isn’t much better than taking advantage of a box mix or two.
Zucchini Cheesecake Muffins
Zucchini is still going strong in most gardens (hi Mom!), so I'm featuring another zucchini recipe today. You can never have too many zucchini recipes in your repertoire, but there are almost always TOO many zucchinis in your garden. They grow like weeds, seriously! I enjoy zucchini as a side dish ...

Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Filling
Life interrupted, that sums up Tanya right now. And that's okay. We just gotta roll with the punches, right? My blogging schedule has been off, and normally I'd give myself some sort of mental flogging over this, but not this time. Nope. It's all good, because that's just how I roll. Sort of. It's a ...

Why can't they extend me the same courtesy? :) I am honestly trying to be much more mindful of my carb intake. Some days are better than others, but ... [Read more]
Super Moist Banana Bread
I bought some bananas when my parents came to visit me last month, but I forgot to force, I mean, set the bananas out as a snack for them. I like bananas but only when they are still plenty green. These buggers were ripe. So what do you do when life gives you ripe bananas? You let them ripen further ... [Read more]
Apple Cinnamon Zucchini Muffins
Thanks for all your book and workout suggestions; I really appreciate them! My goal is to keep a positive, can-do attitude towards exercise and remind myself of the huge difference it will make in my quest to get healthy.

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
I'm gonna be honest; I didn't do much cooking in April. This is probably not a shock given that I didn't post any new recipes. My cold left my taste buds unable to differentiate between yummy or yucky, which is a bad place for a food blogger to find herself. But I'm back in the kitchen, baby and I ... [Read more]
Apple Monkey Bread with Maple Cream Cheese Glaze
I'm not going to lie—I had to restrain myself from eating every bite of this yummy Fall treat in one setting. Monkey bread is universally loved (at least in my mind) but I kick it up a notch with the addition of apples and a maple cream cheese glaze. It's pretty irresistible. ... [Read more]
