Does anyone else think brussels sprouts are an underrated side dish? There’s so many different ways to prepare them, from baking to frying.

My standards are pretty high when it comes to cinnamon rolls, which is why it took me an embarrassing number of attempts to get these just right.

I think this recipe is pretty darn close! I tried making my own gluten-free flour blend for my first round of experiments, but I soon discovered that it was WAY easier and more convenient to use a mix that you can simply pick up at the store....

Who knew that gluten-free baking could be so simple? Since my last batch of Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies disappeared so quickly, I figured I should probably whip up another batch for us to enjoy over the weekend. This time, using my favorite nut butter as a base. I also wanted to try adding some extra texture to these cookies, reminiscent of an oatmeal-based batter–> without actually using oats. I used to add shredded coconut as a “secret ingredient” to my traditional oatmeal cookie recipe (it adds great texture and moisture), so I figured I should give it a shot in this version, too!...

Trader Joe’s makes this unique spread, which is made of crushed spice cookies, sugar, and oil, among other things, and it has a texture similar to peanut butter. The ingredients in the store-bought version are pretty undesirable, so I figured I’d make my own at home for an easier and healthier alternative. The thing is, I don’t see much purpose to having cookie butter around, because I can’t imagine spreading cookies onto toast....

It is not to be confused with Korean banana milk, which is a banana-flavored dairy milk often made with banana juice concentrate and/or artificial flavors....
