I have always wanted to make homemade granola – and I honestly have no idea why I never actually tried previously. Maybe because granola recipes often have a TON of butter in them. Or a TON of sugar. Or because I never thought I would actually eat as much granola as I would be making in a whole batch… or I was worried that I WOULD eat the entire batch. Regardless, moral of the story is that I am a granola nube. But through a little recipe testing, I have come to realize that homemade granola is not something to be afraid of! This Healthy Homemade Vanilla Almond Granola proves…

Matzo Brei
I know what you’re thinking… what the heck is Matzo Brei? It’s crazy, I know – I’m basically psychic. Let me explain. Matzo Brei is a DELICIOUS combination of matzo and eggs, all fried in a butter and salted to perfection. It is dense and moist, yet crispy – and if I am being honest, it is just about the only thing good about Passover. What is Passover you ask? Well, in a nutshell – Passover, or Pesach, is an eight-day festival celebrated in early spring that commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt.

Ever since I can remember, I have always had one favorite type of cake/muffin… Coffee Cake. Cinnamon, sugar, butter, flour – coffee cake is the perfect combination of all these delicious ingredients.

Buttermilk coffee cake, coffee cake pound cake, streusel coffee cake, sour cream coffee cake, crumb coffee cake,…
