It’s not often I come across a recipe that ticks so many boxes. This bright little muffin is entirely whole grain, has spinach for it’s beautiful color and nutrients, and chocolate chips for a little extra flavor and sweetness. It is also an easy win for convincing a toddler to try something green! Muffins can…

Éclair Puffs
I adore these little puffs. They have all the decadence of éclairs, but in a smaller format. The filling is the best vanilla pudding in the world, surrounded by a lovely little pastry, and then topped with rich ganache. It is the perfect little package. These éclair puffs are a PROJECT.

For those of you not in the world of tiny people or nutrition at the time, you may not have realized. Essentially (and I am heavily paraphrasing here) the guidelines went from waiting until…
Dairy Free Chocolate Cream Pie
Growing up, my family was all about traditions during the holiday season. If we did it once, we had to do it every year. We used the same old flannel shirt of my dad’s to make the scarecrow for Halloween, the same dressing recipe for Thanksgiving, and we watch the recorded cartoon How the Grinch…
