Easy baked peanut butter donuts Ever since I made a Peanut Butter Burger, I had it in my head that I wanted to start creating more recipes with peanut butter. Creamy, nutty, and satisfying, peanut butter is truly one of the best ingredients for both savory and sweet recipes. We’re putting the savory recipes on hold for now and making my signature Peanut Butter Donuts instead! They’re a soft dessert or a sweet breakfast treat that bake up in a flash....

What do you think of when you hear Leg of Lamb? What recipes come to your mind? Tacos might not be the first… but I’m here to change that!

Snowball Cookies Recipe Ok, I’m not here to proclaim that Snowball Cookies are my favorite Christmas cookie (it’s so hard to pick just 1!) but these are high up there on my cookie list. These buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are not only delicious, but they’re so easy to make! To show you how easy they are to make, I made a quick recipe video that you walks you through the steps! My 3 year old daughter helped me make these cookies!...

This comforting Tomato and Rice Soup is the perfect quick (30 minutes!), healthy recipe to make when you don’t have much time to spend in the kitchen.

Do you know what memory I hold most dear when I look back at my childhood? It’s baking sugar cookies around Christmas time with my Mom. We poured flour all over the kitchen table, the oven was on full blast, and Mom had this beautiful wooden rolling pin (which now lives in my kitchen!). Christmas Cookies to Make With Kids With a 1 year old, I decided it was never too early to start creating baking memories so we decided to bake some Christmas cookies....

While Nutella does not last long in our household, I make sure that every precious drop is put to very good use! And before throwing out the “near empty” bottle, I wipe it clean with a spoon or finger! Yes, I am that girl! Aside from spreading on bread or simply licking off a spoon, I use it to make my Nutella Butter Cookies and Nutella Banana Bread. Quick and Easy Homemade Popsicles And my favorite way to use it up in the summer is to make Chocolate Nutella Popsicles!...

Dandelion Tea Donuts Maybe this blog should be called Brooklyn Donut Girl. If you haven’t noticed I’m a bit donut obsessed lately… What else am I obsessed with? Tea. The craze started when I was elementary school and my mother started to serve me a cup each morning. Let’s just say it rapidly increased to me declaring a lot of tea whenever I go through a airport. It’s a strong love....

How to Grow Sugar Snap Peas Presprouting Sugar Snap Peas is a important step to growing big Sugar Snap Pea plants. By doing this you’ll be sure that the seeds won’t rot before they sprout under the soil (due to temperature). It also guarantees that you won’t be wasting your time planting some seeds that might not even sprout at all causing you to wait and fall back in the garden season schedule....

I loaded this easy, creamy strawberry banana smoothie recipe with fresh summer strawberries, bananas, and pineapple....

A week after the first vegetables went into the ground, the broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy and potatoes were planted. None of it went stress free through. We are still getting used to our new Upstate growing calendar (much colder than NYC, especially at nights) and with that comes a little heart break. The weather said we were in the clear at nights, but after everything was planted we had 2 sudden days below freezing which sadly killed a few of the plants....

Healthy General Tso’s Cauliflower First of all, this General Tso’s Cauliflower is delicious and has quickly become one of my family’s favorite meals! Not only is it extra saucy (everyone always loves the sauce!), but it’s easy to make!

And trust me, you are going to looooooooooooove it!...

Pumpkin Muffins With Chocolate Chips I’m on a muffin kick right now. My favorite muffins of the moment are the Fluffy Chocolate Chip Muffins and these Pumpkin ones. I swear they can’t last in my kitchen with me around. These chocolate chip muffins here make for a happy breakfast. For this chocolate chip muffins recipe, I’m using brown sugar instead of regular white sugar. I find that brown sugar adds a bit of a depth to muffins and brownies....

We’ve had good success with growing celery in the garden for the first time this year. With the end of garden season in sight I’m left with a few beautiful heads of celery hanging out in my refrigerator. This leads me to the question of the week “What should I make with lots of celery”? Sure there’s the easy route of cutting celery up and dipping it in peanut butter for a delicious snack, but I wanted to throw my apron on and come up with something new for the celery....

Moist Chocolate Cake But first… we have to make it! It’s so hard for me to sometimes get past the batter. When I see a beater with chocolate batter or chocolate frosting on it I know they aren’t going in the sink or dishwasher. They are going straight into my mouth. Does your family ever fight over who gets to clean the beaters? As a kid when my dad was on the road, I would sometimes have to cook dinner for myself....

No Bake Pumpkin Pie “It’s too early for pumpkin” is one statement you’ll never hear me say… never ever. It’s always time for pumpkin, always. That’s why I start the day with these Pumpkin Pancakes and end the day with this creamy No Bake Pumpkin Pie! Ha! Because I have so much pumpkin love, we grow pumpkins twice a year. We have a few to harvest in the summer and a few to pick in the fall....
