Yogurt panna cotta is a healthy, no-bake dessert that’s perfect for hot summer days! Have you ever had the pleasure of eating panna cotta?

Sour Cream Pound Cake Loaf
This sour cream pound cake is tangy with a hint of lemon! I think that one of the biggest obstacles for improving nutrition is an all-or-nothing attitude. It’s the mindset that if you can’t eat 100% organic/local/KETO, you might as well just eat junk food. I reject that philosophy. If we had to wait…

Helen & Jim’s Birthday Cake 2019
We celebrated Helen & Jim’s birthday a bit early this year. I didn’t want them to miss out on a party if the baby decided to make an appearance. Good thing I planned ahead! Helen and James both love helping out in the kitchen whenever they can, so I decided to let them in on…
Spiced Pear Pie

But I’m over here hanging on to the last bits of summer in northern Minnesota. Fall is my favorite season, don’t get me…
Homemade Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
These homemade peanut butter cups are dark chocolate and much more healthy (and tasty!) than store-bought. If you know me well, you eventually learn that I despise most candy. A mouth full of sugar just isn’t appealing to me. BUT one of the few sugary confections that actually tempt me is a peanut butter cup….
Helen & Jim’s Birthday Cake
This healthier Chocolate Cake with Raspberries and Cream Cheese Frosting is a scaled-down version (baked in 6-inch cake pans) for a child’s birthday party (it’s also lower in sugar). February is birthday month for my kids. Their birthdays are a week apart. So I decided it would be best to combine their parties into one….
