Zucchini Brownies

Confession: I am so hard off the Whole30 it isn’t even funny.  Like, the Whole30 is here: x and then there are infinity spaces, and then I am here: x.

Easy Homemade Blackberry Pie

Anybody who know me will attest- I am not what you would call outdoorsy.  In fact, I’m pretty much the opposite.  I don’t go camping where they don’t have toilets, hiking is my idea of hell, and I do not enjoy being sticky, dirty, and sweaty, I do not like bugs.  Hanging out on a… Continue reading Easy Homemade Blackberry Pie

Banana Cream Pie in Nilla Wafer Crust (Ah-mazing.)

Banana Pudding.  The ol’ dessert with nilla wafers, boxed pudding mix, and bananas layered on top of each other.  A childhood classic comfort food.  I am a total pudding snob and since I know I can make homemade pudding in 15 minutes that will be SO much better, I always make it that way.  The… Continue reading Banana Cream Pie in Nilla Wafer Crust (Ah-mazing.)

Blueberry Zucchini Breakfast Cake

Charlie, my 3 year old son, is obsessed with the color “dark blue.”  He has taken the ‘favorite color’ thing to a whole new level. When he’s pretending to be a superhero, and I ask “Oh, are you Super Charlie?” he replies “No! I’m Dark Blue Charlie!”  He has three pair of dark blue underpants,… Continue reading Blueberry Zucchini Breakfast Cake
