Everyone who cooks with avocado understands the plight of trying to guess the perfect ripeness. You can buy them at almost-perfection and hope for the best, or go from green and wait for the day when they feel just right. More often than not, I overshoot and wait too long, leaving me with a bowlful…

Flourless Banana-Oat Greek Yogurt Muffins
This is a seriously healthy muffin (besides the chocolate chips, but you gotta live a little). Only a quarter cup of coconut sugar for the entire batch. Flourless. Greek yogurt. Hemp. All good things. Not like one of those muffins that is actually a cupcake disguised as breakfast—you’re not fooling me, Starbucks. These didn’t rise…
Quick Cowboy Cookies
What’s a cowboy cookie? It’s essentially like an oatmeal cookie went on Pimp My Ride (oh hey, 2004 MTV reference) and became extra-awesome. This cookie mix was actually given to me in a jar as a gift by my boyfriend at Christmas with the instructions attached. Just like these brownies I made a few months…

Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies with Sprinkles

These cookies check off all three of those requirements (plus they smell AMAZING) so I’m devouring them pretty quickly. This recipe is directly from Sally’s Baking Addiction, just like my…
Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Wait…what? That’s right. Chocolate chip cookies with oreos baked in the middle. You can wipe the drool off your desk now. I saw the recipe for this on Picky Palate weeks ago and nearly had a heart attack from how genius it was. What sort of magic was this? Two of my favourite cookies mixed…
Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
Well, so far I have posts for dessert, dinner and appetizers but no breakfast. So here it is! I’m not really one to cook big breakfasts in the morning unless I have lots of time, so it’s either a bagel or nothing. These muffins have been quite the life saver for many years in the…
