Monster Cookie Bars are made with no flour, are gluten-free, and made all in one bowl. A recipe that everyone will love! One of our most favorite cookie recipes on the blog is our Monster Cookies! One day as I was making them I decided to make a lazy version of these scrumptious cookies, I skipped the scooping and instead turned them into a bar. I did have to tweak and test the recipe a couple of times to make sure the recipe made enough dough to fill a 9 x 13 pan, but they’re equally delicious....

I love quick, refreshing meals. Ones that you feel took virtually no time to prepare, yet are still just as satisfying as the 4-hour-long fancy schmancy dinner. It almost feels like cheating. This dish is just that. A cheaters’ dinner. A summertime tease. It’s got all the fresh and exciting flavors of summer, but something you can eat while the air is still brisk. We’ve had a few 70+ degree days here in Nashville the past couple of weeks....

Those mornings when you need the encouragement of something lovely for you to look forward to, and something that you know that the children will eat, fast, and still have enough goodness in them to last the morning....
This post was created in partnership with our friends at King Arthur Flour. Not your average fish stick. As I think back to my childhood meals, one meal that comes to my mind consists of fish sticks (from the freezer), peas and carrots (from the freezer) and some kind of fruit (likely from a can). My guess is that this meal might also be familiar to you! So today, I’m sharing a recipe for Baked Fish Sticks....
I’ve been hoarding fruit. We’ve been blueberry picking and peach picking and would have gone cherry picking if they grew here, so instead I bought some cherries when they went on sale. All the excess fruit that wasn’t devoured immediately is now stashed in our freezer. Usually it all gets turned into jam within days, but this summer has been unusually busy, interspersed with travel and home projects and deadlines that have interrupted my normal canning process....
