Rhubarb Berry Buckwheat Pie

Toasted Coconut Ice Cream (no churn)

April 9, 2014 by Melissa

Toasted Coconut Ice Cream is a no churn, super simple way to kick off the warmer months. Top it with more toasted coconut and you'll be dreaming of beaches in no time.  My husband and I are so hip and cool. Yes, the fact that I have to say that makes us indeed NOT hip and cool, but please indulge me for a hot second. We rented two, I repeat TWO, Academy Award-nominated movies in … [Read more...]

What I’ve Been Reading

April 5, 2014 by Melissa

I’m a big reader. I love having a story I can get lost in. I often find myself too worried and too self-absorbed when I’m not reading a good book. They’re my way of relaxing and really taking a break from life. So, here’s a quick breakdown of the books I read since February. If you follow my Instagram you’ll probably get a peek into each new book I start, because I love reading during my downtime … [Read more...]

March Favorites – Hello April!

April 2, 2014 by Melissa

Hello April! And no, I don't mean TMNT's April. Get it? Got it? Good.  Although I never participate in April Fool's Day, I do enjoy finding people's clever online pranks. I love a good satire or hoax from a company I shop from. Did you see any good ones yesterday? One of my favorites was Irvin's How to Boil Water. So hilarious. Seriously, Faded Glory? Bakers twine...turning the knob the … [Read more...]

Blueberry Cereal Crispie Bars are like Rice Krispie Treats but ten thousand times better!

His Best Chocolate Chunk Cookies (Gluten Free)

March 24, 2014 by Melissa

I made what has been dubbed scientifically the "best chocolate chip cookies", which are in fact  Chocolate Chunk Cookies, and I've made them gluten-free.    Don't worry. I HATE when people say things are "the best" just to get attention. It really grinds my gears. Peter, anyone? Anyone? Anyways. So I read this impossibly long article from Kenji in The Food Lab on the … [Read more...]
