Last spring, Richard and I went on a “no carb” diet for a few weeks. I can honestly say that it was the most awful thing ever! I love all kinds of carbs and two weeks without them was super difficult for me. However, I did feel better (and lost weight). For me, cutting carbs out of my diet was a great way to detox. Dinner ideas were pretty easy, but no carb breakfast items (besides eggs) was challenging. I stumbled upon a no flour banana muffin recipe on Pinterest and decided to give it a shot. After a few ingredient changes, these healthy peanut butter and banana muffins have become a go-to in both our house and my parent’s for the past year.

Easy Homemade Ravioli
Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope you enjoyed your weekend/long weekend. I just wanted to hop on to share this quick and easy homemade ravioli recipe I have made a few times this winter. Pasta is one of my favorite foods. I probably could eat it every night if it were acceptable, but homemade pasta has always been on my cooking to do list. While this isn’t exactly homemade pasta, it does come pretty close. And it’s a quick and yummy weekend dish.
Christmas Breakfast Casserole
One of the things I look forward to most on Christmas morning are the breakfast casseroles. I know, it probably sounds crazy, but this is one of the few mornings that it seems alright to indulge in the “not so healthy” breakfast foods. My mom usually makes a french toast bake and egg casserole, both of which are fan favorites. I thought I would take my mom’s usual egg casserole recipe and make a few changes, including adding hash browns, for a different spin. The hash browns were the perfect addition! This new Christmas breakfast casserole might just be the new go-to on Christmas morning.
Baked Pumpkin Donuts
Happy Halloween! I thought these cute and festive baked pumpkin donuts would be a fun recipe to share today given the holiday. But these donuts are not exclusive to Halloween. Make them for the rest of fall and pair them with cider for a yummy fall treat!
Southern Peach Cake
Peaches are one of my favorite fruits, but especially this time of the year when they are in season. As with most families, there are quite a few recipes that have been passed down through the years in mine. My southern great grandmother’s peach cake is definitely one of our favorites. My aunt and cousin were down in Virginia visiting my mom and dad this past weekend and we thought it was the perfect opportunity to make one of my great grandmother’s recipes: Southern Peach Cake.
