Caramel studded oatmeal blondie bars

Uhhh yeah, long name, I know. But I actually held back because they could have been called a million other things…like lovely gooey bites…or gluten free breakfast squares…or deliciously sweet snack bars…you get the idea, right? I have a lot of photos of P man-handling these candies because they’ve been on the counter (hashtag dangerous) for a while now. He loves playing with the bag because it makes noise and his pudgy little fingers can perfectly grasp and shake it. And yet, we all know how bad terrible of an idea it… Read more >

Contains sole

I have been making legit dinners lately. It’s good to be back in the kitchen – planning weekly menus and grocery shopping. Much more wallet friendly too. Oddly enough, I now despise going to the grocery store. Which is SO weird because it used to be one of my favorite things ever. I used to love browsing the aisles. I took my time and relished in the fun of perusing products. Now I’m all about efficiency, get in, get out. And even then, it’s after a few days of creating food out of thin air… Read more >
