Strawberry season is upon us! Are you excited?? I am! I’m sure you’ve got your canning jars out and you’re elbow deep in hulled strawberries… Right? Crickets? Well, that’s ok! You can just eat a basket of strawberries as usual and grab a jar of strawberry jam from the farmers market (or store…whatever). I always have big dreams of making jam! I think I even make a … [Read more...]

I ran again! It’s crazy! I guess you could say I’ve been getting into running again (don’t jinx it!). I’m just so excited because I feel like I can start signing up for 5K’s around town! Run, Melissa, run! In fact, I’m signing up to run a 5K for St. Jude this Sunday! Wish me luck!

Double Chocolate Bundt Cake
Like chocolate? Like chocolate? Yup, asked twice. Twice is nice, right? Well, with chocolate it's not so annoying to ask the same question over and over again. I've published another fabulous recipe over at Quirk Books! My recipe for Double Chocolate Bundt Cake is absolutely amazing! It's easy and rich and is probably the perfect recipe to have in your back pocket for when you … [Read more...]
Snickerdoodle Pancakes with Snickerdoodle Yogurt
Confession. I had cookies for breakfast. Ok, so maybe not cookies like what you think of cookies. But I had pancakes that tasted like cookies. And wait a sec, isn’t that technically having cake and cookies for breakfast? Sheesh, I’m on a roll! Guilt? Nope, I don’t play that game anymore. Just pure enjoyment. Plus, no need to step anywhere close to the guilty line, because seriously, … [Read more...]
Fabulously Fit Friday 26
Oh my gosh! Can you believe another month is already practically gone? I was absolutely shocked. I'm glad I remembered though...you know, rent being due and all... Glad I also didn't blow all my rent money on the oh-so-tempting Diane Von Furstenberg sale that's happened on one of my favorite flash-sale sites...ok, well maybe I'm not too happy about that. Can you believe that I can't just buy … [Read more...]
Ultimate Peanut Butter Blondies (vegan)
These blondies are for serious peanut butter lovers. They’re for that nut job who gets a hankering for peanut butter and ends up driving to 3 different grocery stores to find “the right one” (cough cough, me). If you don’t really love peanut butter…well before we have a serious discussion abut the future of our friendship…just consider yourself warned. Everyone else? Well, I knew we were … [Read more...]
Mocha-Glazed Banana Mocha Chip Muffins
I've always been one to advocate for healthier muffins. I haven't been a huge fan of calling cupcakes "muffins" because you want to eat them at breakfast and without the frosting... But, sometimes, you just have to play along, right? Well, maybe. At least, I still tried to make it a little better for you. You're welcome. And you get your chocolate for breakfast too! No, it's not a … [Read more...]
Fabulously Fit Friday 25
I know that everyone has been bombarded by thoughts and reports concerning the bombings in Boston. I don’t want to drone on and on about my feelings about it, because those are thoughts and tears that stay between me and my fiancé, under our roof. But I will say this. I’m sad and my heart aches. As a runner, I know that there is nothing, and I mean nothing, as determined and positive as the … [Read more...]
Skinny Monkey Granola
I’ve been doing some serious granola chowing lately. I consider it my third job to personally try every variety that crosses my path. Funny job, for a lady that makes fabulous granola of her very own. The greatest thing is, homemade is still the best! Don’t feel a need to go granola prowling, just take my word for it, mine is best. Yup, I should be so bold. But seriously! Almond … [Read more...]
More Than Morning Glory Muffins
I love that the Farmers Markets have started! I get so excited, because I feel like I get so inspired during the Spring to cook and bake more amazing things (watch out!). My mom and I were traveling this weekend, but you can bet that we planned a trip to the local Farmers Market as part of our schedule. I love shopping in other cities, seeing what makes all of their locals come together and … [Read more...]
