Spiced Maple Pecan Muesli Granola

April 2, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

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.…

No-Bake Oatmeal Cookie Energy Bites {Gluten-Free}

January 16, 2017 by Faith 5 Comments

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

August 19, 2016 by Faith 8 Comments

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....

Salted Butterscotch Oat Bars

December 18, 2014 by Faith 9 Comments

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....

Pumpkin Spice Granola

November 11, 2011 by Faith 41 Comments

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....

Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies

September 9, 2011 by Faith 27 Comments

Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies (also called Oatmeal Scotchies and Oatmeal Scotch Chippers) are a delicious pairing of sweet butterscotch, nutty walnuts, and hearty oats! Another summer gone, and gosh, it went fast. I remember as a kid, summers seemed to be never-ending; I’d spend hours each day riding my bike, swimming, or exploring, only surfacing to eat and sleep. And when summer ended and school started up again I actually felt refreshed…like I had had a sufficient break. Not so anymore; summers these days are a fleeting moment or a passing glance....
