Fat Tire Muffins – Snapshot of the Day, No. 325

A few posts back, I announced I had made way too much granola in my zeal to cook; SO! this weekend, I utilized some of it and made granola muffins. It didn’t make a dent. We still have tons of granola left. But the muffins are good, so I’ve got that going for me. IContinue reading “Fat Tire Muffins – Snapshot of the Day, No. 325”

I Should Have Halved It – Snapshot of the Day, No. 320

I’m an idiot. My sister has been telling me that for years. Some days it is more evident than others. Today was one of those days. I got inspired and decided to make granola from scratch. So, of course, I went straight to my favorite cookbook, “What Katie Ate.” I’ve mentioned before how much ofContinue reading “I Should Have Halved It – Snapshot of the Day, No. 320”

After this shot, it was consumed…..and chased with a Coke.Continue reading “Godiva Season – Snapshot of the Day, No. 300”

I think I’ve pulled my husband over to the dark side – of chocolate that is. A former milk chocolate lover, Joe now really appreciates the taste and health benefits of dark chocolate. Chocolove bars – especially the Sea Salt and Almond – is our very favorite. We can go through a bar in oneContinue reading “Our Favorite Bar – Snapshot of the Day, No. 298”

Regular Cookies – Snapshot of the Day, No. 296

These oatmeal raisin cookies are from a recipe in Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook, “My Father’s Daughter.” I alter it a bit because I cannot find all of the ingredients that it calls for. They are pretty good, and also pretty healthy. The only sugar in them is from maple syrup. Joe and his mom love themContinue reading “Regular Cookies – Snapshot of the Day, No. 296”
