Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Inspired by Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, these Oatmeal Cream Pies with Rum-Raisin Brown Sugar Buttercream Frosting give those classic cookie sandwiches a grown-up twist!
Was anyone else a fan of the Little Debbie cream-filled oatmeal cookie sandwiches (aka Oatmeal Creme Pies) as a kid?
They were a very rare treat for my sister and I! Mom never bought them, which made them all the more fun to eat at our friends’ houses when mom wasn’t around. (Shhh, lol.)…
Spiced Maple Pecan Muesli Granola is a delicious cross between muesli and granola; it’s richly spiced and aromatic with maple and makes a beautiful breakfast on a busy morning. I’m not really a big cereal eater; actually, even as a kid cereal wasn’t really my thing. There were a couple flavors I liked, but they were older people-type cereals, like Shredded Wheat and Grape Nuts, rather than the sugary kinds most lids preferred (but I did have a soft spot for Cinnamon Toast Crunch!). I was always a bit odd, lol....
These gluten-free No-Bake Oatmeal Cookie Energy Bites are the perfect treat to keep in the fridge to grab pre-workout or any time you need an energy boost! In college I used to exercise early in the morning on an empty stomach and it didn’t phase me, not even during a long spin class! (Of course I was pretty ravenous post-workout though.) Now I find that I need to eat just a little something about 30 minutes before a workout not only for an energy boost, but also to keep from getting dizzy or light-headed mid-workout....
Strawberry and Coconut Cream Overnight Oatmeal Parfaits are perfect for grabbing on-the-go for breakfast or dessert. People who know me know are always shocked to hear that I went through a hoarding phase as a kid. It’s true though; I used to have what I called “collections” of basically random junk, including everything from rocks, to seashells, to buttons, to scruffy Barbies that were past their prime. I rarely wanted to get rid of anything, no matter how ugly or nonfunctional it was....
I remember going to Christmas cookie exchange parties with my mom when I was pretty young. I’ll admit, other than the cookies (of course) it was a pretty boring affair. I always enjoyed the loot that we went home with though; it was fun to get to sample a variety of things without actually having to make 20 different recipes....
If you ever find yourself with a pie-loving mob at your door, this recipe will prove itself indispensable....
Most people save their snowy wishes for a white Christmas, but I confess, I am desperately hoping for snow for Thanksgiving....
With that evil temptation of a holiday coming at us this Friday, I had to take preemptive measures. Otherwise, I knew I’d be doomed....
Peanut Butter & Oat Carrot Cake Breakfast Pudding with Candied Oats Hello, Dear Readers! I have some exciting news for you today, and if you love peanut butter and oats as much as I do, I think you’ll be thrilled!...
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Granola is perfect for keeping on hand for quick breakfasts throughout the week! I try not to, but every time my pantry granola stash runs low I have a strange sense of urgency to hurry up and make a new batch. I have no idea why this is, but for some strange reason granola has that effect on me…I guess I just love having it around....
