As an adult I never liked oatmeal. The reason I never liked oats was because of the texture and they were really never satisfying to me. These baked oats are just like eating dessert for breakfast. When the oats come out of the oven it almost looked like a chocolate chip cookie. After trying baked oats this way I could eat them every day for breakfast now! This baked oatmeal is best served warm. The chocolate chips get a little melted in the oven and melted peanut butter is so good drizzled ... continue reading...
Homemade Ranch Dressing
This ranch dressing recipe needed a serious makeover and the last one the spices weren’t right at all. I think this recipe is 10 times better than the previous one. If you are coming from Pinterest please note that this recipe has been updated and any comments below that mention ingredients not in the recipe card will be wrong. Thanks! I love the dry ranch seasoning packet mixes at the store. They are so convenient and I wanted to make them myself at home. That’s probably what the major ... continue reading...
Avocado and Egg Toast
Breakfast can be super healthy with this avocado and egg toast! I serve mine with whole grain bread and some fruit to make sure I'm getting some great nutrients. I've been trying to master frying eggs in a nonstick skillet because I'm currently getting sick of scrambled eggs. Fried eggs take a little bit longer to cook than scrambled eggs do. I watched a couple of youtube videos on how to make the best fried eggs and they all required a couple of tablespoons of butter. Butter is kind of ... continue reading...
No-Bake Peanut Butter Corn Flake Bars
Treats that don’t have to be baked in the oven are the best kind of treats in my opinion. No-Bake treats are perfect to make all year long. If you’ve ever had a Scotcheroo bar these Cornflake bars are pretty similar but use Corn Flakes instead of Rice Krispies cereal. The prep is super easy and can be done in the microwave or on a stovetop! I combined the sugar and syrup with peanut butter together in a microwave safe bowl and let the microwave cook for 1 min and 30 seconds. The ... continue reading...

Starbucks Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew Copy Cat
Back in 2020, I became an iced coffee addict and Tiktok made me try a bunch of Starbucks drinks. Some of the trendier Starbucks drinks are loaded with sugar and I still actually like to TASTE my coffee when I drink it. My go-to coffee order at Starbucks is the Salted Caramel Cold Brew with vanilla sweet cream foam and this is so easy to make at home, especially if you are following the WW plans I have a regular version of this drink and a WW friendly below in the recipe card. This drink is ... continue reading...
Instant Pot Chili Mac and Cheese
When you combine hearty beef chili with creamy mac and cheese together it creates an entirely different recipe. This recipe comes together so quickly in the Instant Pot! I finally updated this post because there was no official recipe for it. I just said to use your favorite chili recipe and mac and cheese recipe which isn’t really helpful. You can do that but here is the actual recipe. Finally! I love chili and macaroni and cheese and when you mix the two of them together ... continue reading...
