Lacy Cinnamon Orange Oatmeal Cookies

December 18, 2012 by Melissa

I love to find new versions of an oatmeal cookie. And since it's cookie season (that's a real thing ya know), I will bake cookies until my fingers are numb and my apartment is overheated. So, I saw these cookies, and new I had to make them. And change them, of course. I had two satsuma oranges given to me as an impromptu gift. I love food presents, especially when I've never had that food … [Read more...]

Peppermint Latte (dairy-free!)

December 17, 2012 by Melissa

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty exhausted. Christmas is just around the corner and I feel caught off guard. Presents I had every intention of buying never got purchased. And treats that I’ve had scribbled down of post-it’s as my next brilliant Christmas treat gift never got made and sent out. So, I apologize…maybe next year. I promise, your gift was going to be awesome. Well, … [Read more...]

First of all, the winner of my NuttZo* giveaway via random drawing is… Samantha Christ!!! Her fill-in-the blank was “NuttZo should be eaten on a spoon!

Holiday Chip Chocolate Oat Cookies (gluten-free!)

December 13, 2012 by Melissa

Dear Santa, If you hadn’t noticed, my apartment is totally void of furniture. Remember when you granted my Christmas wish last year and Steve got that job? And we sold all of our furniture on Craigslist so we could run away and start over? We had the best intentions of making our stay in this apartment as short as possible. So, we never bought furniture. We wanted to still have as little … [Read more...]

Andes Peppermint Smoosh Sugar Cookies

December 11, 2012 by Melissa

I never liked those peanut butter blossom cookies. Ouch, don’t hit me.   And honestly, I never really liked the ones with a Hershey Kiss smooshed in the middle because those are usually peanut butter cookies too, right? And they’re impossibly rich.   But, I love the concept. I love the idea of a yummy piece of chocolate burrowed into a fluffy cookie. So…yup…along came the Andes … [Read more...]

Peppermint Bark Rice Krispie Treats

December 9, 2012 by Melissa

I’m a Peppermint Bark fanatic this time of year! I stumble around grocery stores blindly grabbing anything with the words “peppermint bark” on them and throwing them into my cart. It must be good.   And my grocery lists look like a laundry list of peppermint bark versions of everything.   How refreshing.   Last year, I practically cried when I had a hankering for a candy cane in … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday: NuttZo Nut Butter GIVEAWAY

December 7, 2012 by Melissa

First, a quick rundown of my Fabulously Fit Friday list! The Sweaty Breakdown: Saturday: My mom and I took a nice long walk around her neighborhood. We took it easy but chatted to make the distance last. My hip was starting to bother me so I knew I shouldn't push it too far. Sunday: I did an eliptical circuit today to shake off the day I spend in the car! Here's what it looked … [Read more...]

Gingerbread Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Drizzle

December 6, 2012 by Melissa

I’d say up until a few months ago, when I would hear “gingerbread,” it was usually followed with my face contorting into a look of disgust…and then me pleasantly saying “no thank you.”  Yup, never was a fan.   BUT! Something changed! I don’t know what it was. Maybe really trying gingerbread? Maybe getting up in the Christmas spirit and embracing all of the holiday themed … [Read more...]

Healthier Cranberry Bliss Bars

December 4, 2012 by Melissa

I’ve heard some people say that their favorite part about holiday treat time is when Starbucks starts putting out their Cranberry Bliss Bars.   Confession?   I’ve never had one.   Whoops.   BUT I made one! Here you go!   With this lightened-up version, I won’t ever feel that need to test the waters (don't hold me to that though). Plus, I’m pretty sure that for … [Read more...]

Reese’s Peanut Butter Chip Granola

December 3, 2012 by Melissa

I’m one of those people who can hunker down with a bowl of cereal, and call it a night. Yup, I prefer cereal for dessert.   I write a baking blog and bake treats during every spare second, and I prefer cereal for dessert. You now know the key to my heart.   Well, in hopes of trying to keep my favorite flavors sinful, sweet, yet not-so-guilty, I brought peanut butter and chocolate … [Read more...]
