When life hands you overripe bananas...Make banana...
There’s only one thing I think of when my bananas start getting a little spotty - banana bread!  I’ve tried a handful of banana bread recipes, from the basic to adding in chocolate chips - or one of my favorite, mini Reese’s cups! I saw a recipe for “healthy banana bread” pop up on Pinterest a few days ago and decided to repin it on my Getting Healthy board. A...

"Clear Out the Fridge" Pasta
After a nearly year-long hiatus, I’ve decided to give this blog thing another try.

Ebelskivers: Delicious Danish Filled Pancakes
The first few times I saw this pan at Williams-Sonoma I had to stop and check it out. At first glance I thought you might use it to cook eggs - now that I think about it, I might have to try that out. But it is actually an ebelskiver pan. Ebelskivers are filled pancakes that are native to Denmark. Fillings can range from fruit, to chocolate to jam or cheese. My boyfriend, Chad, and I were tempted...

Allow me to introduce myself
Greetings cooks and bakers of the interwebz! I am finally making my debut into the blogosphere. Starting a blog about my cooking and baking adventures has been on my to-do list for almost two years now, and now that I’m in a class that is making blogging a requirement, I finally have the motivation to start it up. To give you a brief idea of me, I’m a senior at Michigan State...
