Apple Strudel


The month of September always seems to sneak up on me - then it flies by so quickly. Once it arrives, all I can think about is apples! I love the smell of them cooking in the oven mixed with a sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar...Mmm Mmm Mmm. In my book apple recipes are a typical fall dessert and I can't get enough of them during these chilly months. There are so many options to choose from! Apple Crisp, Apple Strudel, Apple Cheese Danish's, Apple Pie, Apple Spice Muffins, Apple Cider - The list could go on forever!

Nutella Cookies


For some reason this week seems to be my cookie week. It is one of my favorite things to snack on in the evening with a big glass of cold milk to dunk them in! I've sent Ben off to work this morning with over a dozen cookies because this recipe makes 3 dozen - and we all know what will happen if they sit on my counter. One by one...or two by two...they will disappear.

M&M Cookies


Hey guys! So I'm gonna try to make this quick because my bed is calling my name right now...but I just wanted to let you all in on my new discovery! I'm not sure if any of you have ever made m&m cookies - I'm sure you probably have! But today was my first time ever making them and they turned out Aaamazing! I still can't get over it! I thought only Subway sandwich shops had the best m&m cookies in the world...but not after today! Ok, maybe they're not "better" than Subway - but they taste exactly the same! I never thought I could get this ecstatic about a cookie! Haha.

Homemade Granola Bars



For years I've been trying to find "the right" granola bars - they are either too sweet or too dull in flavor. I found a recipe for Homemade Granola Bars so I thought I would give them a shot...and they are right on the money! If you're looking for "the perfect" granola bars that don't taste like a sugar loaded chocolate bar - then you should definitely try these out! This is a healthy snack that's a perfect pick-me-up during a school day, work, or after a workout at the gym.

Chocolate Raspberry Torte


The best part of every meal is definitely dessert! OH. MY. GOODNESS! As soon as I took my first bite - I was speechless! There are no words to describe this dessert. It's not only gorgeous...but it tastes even better than it looks! Ben's face was priceless when he had his first forkful - his eyes widened and all I heard out of his mouth was "Mmmmm, WOW!" 

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes


These Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes are absolutely amazing! We couldn't believe how good they turned out! They are not your standard everyday mashed potatoes I can promise you that! They have an unbelievable amount of flavor and go great as a side dish with pretty much anything. 

Beef Wellington


Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a great week so far! I wanted to share a recipe with you guys that I ended up making for my hubby and I last week. Since we have our little one now we don't go out for dinner as often as we use to - which is totally fine because I love our dinner dates at home just as much!
