Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Coconut Flour Pancakes

A healthy spin on traditional pancakes. These are made gluten free by using coconut flour! If I had to pick a favorite breakfast food, I think it would have to be pancakes. (Don't tell oatmeal or cereal!) I've gone through lots of pancakes phases, from heating … [Read more...] about Coconut Flour Pancakes

So I never posted about my last adventure of the summer?! Whoops. I went to Canada!

Easy Tomato Basil Bread

FOUR ingredients are all you need to make this easy tomato basil bread! Does this bread look a little weird to you? Like discolored or anything? That's because it is.

Fiesta Cornbread - this will be your new FAVORITE!

Fiesta Corn Bread

This post is sponsored by Red Star Yeast! ---------------------- My Thanksgiving was wonderful. And guess what? I didn't take any pictures. ANY.

Healthy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

I'm really not a model baker. Baking is all about ratios, following directions, and science. For me, baking is about adding an assortment of ingredients to a bowl, throwing it in the oven, and hoping that what comes out is edible. Somehow most things seem to turn out for me so I'm gonna … [Read more...] about Healthy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
