Updated September 19, 2020 Baked Apples In Fall 👍 I am feeling the fall vibes and that means it’s time to start baking! Fall baking is my favorite. I love pumpkin (pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin chocolate chip bread, pumpkin muffins, etc.) BUT I also love apple everything! I just made apple cinnamon muffins and now I want all of the apple things! Baked apples are the perfect way to kick off fall....
Updated March 26, 2019 When Caleb wakes up he usually says four things: hi dad, horses, mommy, and “oat-me.” He is always excited to start the day and loves eating oatmeal with mommy. We eat oatmeal for breakfast almost every morning. I usually keep things simple by adding a banana and cinnamon to our oatmeal, but sometimes I like to mix things up by making baked oatmeal. Our new favorite oatmeal is Baked Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal....
Updated March 26, 2019 Josh loves pizza and is excited to share his all-time favorite pizza recipe with you today. When he first started making this BBQ Chicken Deluxe Pan Pizza I thought he was weird. The pizza has BBQ sauce and is topped with BBQ chicken, bacon, pineapple, and jalapeño slices. Sounded kind of odd to me, but it is always a hit. I guess Josh knows his pizza:) We host pizza parties at our house with the neighborhood kids and it is always the first pizza to go....

Updated March 26, 2019 Some of my favorite meals are the simple ones. Black bean and mango tostadas are at the top of our list when it comes to easy dinner recipes. This meatless meal is loaded with fresh flavors and hits the spot every time. We use corn tortillas for the base of our tostadas. I don’t fry the corn tortillas, instead I broil them in the oven. You get the same crispy results without having to mess with hot oil....
Updated March 26, 2019 What do you do when you buy two big containers of blueberries? First, you eat them by the handful because they are so good and you can’t resist. Next, you make a batch of Blueberry Corn Muffins because you are in the mood to bake and you really want to eat muffins. Well, at least that was my thought process. I could have stood at the kitchen counter shoveling blueberries in my face all day, but instead I devoured more than my fair share of Blueberry Corn Muffins....
When you wake up thirty-two minutes late and you hair looks like you washed it three Thursdays ago, you have neither the time nor the patience to watch oatmeal overflow in the microwave. So you whip out your blender and you put your oatmeal in a smoothie. Bada bing bada boom! I never realized how amazing it is to have a bigger blender. Mine has always been single serving, which is fine sometimes and not so fine when I have to puree a bazillion cups of piping hot soup....
Published on February 15, 2024 This easy Broccoli Cheese Soup is rich, creamy, and super cheesy! Everyone loves this classic soup recipe with tender broccoli and sharp cheddar cheese. It is the perfect comforting meal for a cold day or any day! It is made with simple ingredients and only takes about 30 minutes to make. It is better than any broccoli cheese soup you can buy at the store or order at a restaurant (yes, even better than Panera’s famous soup)....
I’ve shown you how to make the Ultimate Holiday board and today we do even more cheese in the form of this amazing Festive dinner roll wreath. You would be hard-pressed to find a more delectable appetizer for your holiday parties than this one. And it’s so easy! The dinner roll recipe is the same one I posted a few weeks ago but if you wanted to, you could of course use shop-bought bread dough....
Cha siu kebabs came onto my radar about two weeks ago in a conversation I had with Paulina, a reader from Russia. She told me that instead of cooking traditional style BBQ pork, her family usually does a Russian style barbecue – shashlik, cooked on a manghal. The manghal is like a mini version of the American barbeque grill, fueled by charcoal and used exclusively for cooking kebabs. I found this idea very intriguing....
Updated March 26, 2019 I didn’t make any healthy eating resolutions, but since most people do, I have laid off the cookies. I didn’t want to tempt anyone by posting a cookie recipe. Well, it’s the middle of January and I can’t wait any longer. If you are still going strong on your resolution, ignore me. Or maybe listen because these Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Cookies have NO butter. That’s right, there is no butter in the recipe, only coconut oil....
Updated June 15, 2020 This decadent chocolate cookie recipe is inspired by my Chocolate Banana Bread, which is a Two Peas & Their Pod favorite! If you love my chocolate banana bread, you are going to LOVE my Chocolate Banana Cookies too! As you know, I am absolutely cookie crazy. I love baking, sharing, and eating cookies more than any other dish! When I saw how much everyone was loving my Chocolate Banana Bread, I knew I needed to make it in cookie form....
My bad. I thought you’d be over all the strawberry and blueberry cheesecakes by now. Soooo my food processor decided to make the terrible decision to stop working. Tear. It’s really quite odd. I mean it still spins, but super slowly… basically too slowly to chop anything up. Leave it to my handy dandy food processor to break right when I want to whip up something snackable and sweet (without lots of sugar)....
Published on February 22, 2024 This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is moist and tender, with gooey pieces of chocolate melting throughout. It’s a straightforward, fast recipe, and the perfect way to use up those browning bananas on your counter! I REALLY love my Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe. It is a favorite in our family. Bananas and chocolate are a perfect pair, and this loaf is the ideal blend. The chocolate chips aren’t overpowering so the banana flavor still shines!...
Updated March 26, 2019 I am always in search of the best chocolate chip cookie. I have made more than my fair share of cookies over the years, but I am still not ready to declare a favorite. I have a couple recipes that are at the top of my list, but the search isn’t over. I am always looking for a new recipe to try. I decided to give the New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies a chance....
Let me change your belief today. Just watch my step-by-step method for a new recipe and you will see how easy it is to make dairy-free, delicious chocolate chip cookies with white sugar. A slight difference in the ingredients exposes a host of new flavors in this classic recipe. I agree to be sent email.

KA-BOBZ. I can’t stop saying it. Definitely naming my next dog Kabob. There’s a doggy that lives in the apartment down the street from us named Onion, or so we thought. Yeah. Onion, like an onion. The owners happened to be hanging outside with Onion over the weekend while we were getting out of a cab. “Hey, Onion buddy! Err—his name’s Onion, right?” “…it’s London.” Onion is so much funnier....
I made a thing! It’s major. I’m still obsessed with these grilled fruit kabobs so fruity no bake desserts have been on the brain. I don’t know why or how or where or when but I had the most genius lightbulb go off in my brain to marinate juicy grapes in a luscious, full-bodied red wine. My current favorite is Cooper & Thief Red Blend, which has incredible bold bourbon flavors....
Updated March 26, 2019 Tomorrow is a big day! It is my 29th birthday and World Nutella Day. I feel very special that they chose my birthday to honor one of my favorite treats…ha! I believe in celebrating birthdays all weekend long, so let’s get this party started! We are kicking off the celebration with Chocolate Nutella Cookies. These chocolate cookies might look plain and simple, but I promise they are very special....
Updated November 17, 2019 Halloween is next week. Do you have your costume ready? Josh and Caleb are dressing up as cowboys, but I don’t have a costume yet. I think my every day mask is scary enough:) I am prepared when it comes to sweet Halloween treats. We are celebrating the holiday with Chocolate Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwiches. Pumpkin ice cream sandwiched between two rich chocolate cookies, I am not tricking you....
