    This is another one of my favorite recipes of my Grandma’s. I remember making these with her as a kid in the summers after we had just picked buckets full of fresh blueberries. The secret to how delicious these muffins are is the topping. One time when we were making them we forgot to add…

    This is the recipe that I would always make to bribe the guys that worked for me. They still request cuban sandwiches now, years later. These can be enjoyed cold or squished in a panini press. My dad says you know they’re really Cuban when they’re cut at an angle so they have pointy ends,…

    This Maple Pecan Granola is a great snack on its own or delicious when paired for breakfast. I like to put it on plain greek yogurt or pair it with fruit for a quick breakfast. The best part is that the only sugar added is from the maple syrup. Enjoy the recipe here!

    This Coconut Chicken Curry is a flavorful quick dinner for a busy weeknight. Especially if you don’t do any of the chopping. I used fresh peppers, onions, and carrots, but those can be bought already chopped and frozen to further reduce your cooking time. The longest thing will be the time it takes the rice…
