Birthday Cake Rice Krispy Treats

Birthday Cake Rice Krispy Treats

If you make these, I promise they will be gone faster than you can say “krispy treat”! A couple years ago I had a serious obsession with Golden Birthday Cake Oreos. They were genuinely dangerous for me, I could not resist. Thankfully, they stopped making […]

Coffee Shop Favorites

Coffee Shop Favorites

I’m really serious about this latte life I lead. I LOVE coffee, probably a little too much. So for my first round-up post of my favorite spots in Raleigh, it’s only fitting that it be centered around coffee! This post details my favorite spots in […]

Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut Squash Soup

I’m not really much of a soup person, but I love this one! I didn’t try butternut squash until it became a “trendy” vegetable but I’m glad I finally hopped on board. It has a very rich taste while still being healthy for you which […]

Crockpot Cuban Sandwiches

Unless you live in Florida or a huge city, a good Cuban sandwich can be really hard to find! I love Cuban sandwiches, so I wanted to figure out a way I could replicate the idea at home. Normally when I cook a pork shoulder, […]

Greek Lamb Meatball Bowls

I make bowls for dinner during the week like nobody’s business. I’ve talked about this before on my Chili Garlic Shrimp Bowl recipe, but they are great for customizing and generally a healthy option! I start off this recipe by making my own tzatziki sauce. […]
