Carrot Walnut Muffins with Red Lentils
Carrots for breakfast? If they are good enough for Bugs Bunny, they are good enough for me. Especially if those carrots come in the form of spiced muffins with crunch walnuts. These muffins are like little Trojan horses, but instead of sneaking in soldiers they sneak in fiber and protein. Don’t worry about that though,…

Easy Chocolate Cake
This cake practically makes itself, but no one needs to know that. They don’t need to know that it only requires one bowl, or that you can prepare it in a flash. They also don’t need to know if you happened to make a little bit more cake than you served, just saying… Makes 1…

Perfectly Fudgy Brownies
The last time that I talked about brownies on this blog, I mentioned that some people like their brownies to be fudgy and some prefer them to be more cake-like. This recipe is for the first group. These brownies are rich, dark and so chocolaty that they are just one small step away from actually…

Brownies are amazing, but sometimes you need to take a break from chocolate and have a bit of variety in your treats. (I know, it seems strange, but trust me on this one.)

Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
I used to live near a store that sold bulk dark chocolate covered cranberries. I was in school at the time, and these treats kept me motivated when nothing else could.
