These Soft Cream Cheese Sugar Cookie Bars are thick, soft, chewy and have just enough tang from the cream cheese to offset some of the sweetness in the cookie and the buttercream frosting.

Berry Rhubarb Crisp
I love this simple dessert that is a cinch to pull together. It is amazing served slightly warm with a little scoop of vanilla ice cream…that starts to melt and mingle with the soft fruity juiciness…offset by the light tender crunch of the buttery brown sugared oatmeal topping…it just doesn’t get any better! You probably have the topping ingredients on hand right now – just pick up some yummy fruit and you are good to go!
Perfectly Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Chocolate Chip Cookies are buttery and soft with a nice chew when you bite into them! They’re not too thick and not too thin. They come out of the oven puffed in the center, but while cooling, that center nestles down into pure chewy delicious-ness! YUM! This recipe make 2-dozen cookies, a perfectly manageable batch! They stay soft when stored in an air-tight container and they freeze perfectly either before or after baking.
Ciabatta Bread
Just wait until you taste the warm loaves of crusty homemade ciabatta bread with the delicious chew and the “holey” texture.

The recipes makes 2 loaves. (They freeze very well.)
Creamy Parmesan Pasta with Broccoli & Chicken
I make this easy pasta dish all the time, especially on busy weeknights! I change it up with different kinds of pasta, vegetables and protein!

Easy Homemade Flour Tortillas
These tortillas are so much more delicious than store bought! They’re soft, bendable and taste great with whatever filling you like! They’re easy to mix-up by hand or with your hand or stand mixer! I made them with both vegetable shortening and solid coconut oil.
Classic Ham and Bean Soup
To give this soup a nice silky texture, I partially puree some of the tender beans and vegetables. I love to top this warm and comforting soup with a spoonful of my Spinach and Basil Pesto! It melts into the savory soup and is so tasty!
Spinach and Basil Pesto
Delicious pesto with a combination of basil and baby spinach!

Our Favorite Banana Bread
Our favorite banana bread bakes up into a nice tall, moist loaf with great banana flavor! It’s buttery and sweet, but not too sweet – I’ve reduced the sugar amount over the years and added part whole wheat flour and either wheat germ or golden flaxseed meal to “up” the nutritional value.
Banana Oat Pancakes
This quick, easy and delicious Banana Oat Pancake recipe uses 100% oat flour, which is easy to make at home (if you have some oats stashed in your pantry!) The pancakes are fluffy and moist with a lovely banana taste! It’s like having your favorite banana bread in a pancake!
Oat & Cinnamon Beer Bread (DIY Oat Flour, No Yeast)
We very much enjoyed this hearty bread, especially with some butter and jam! The beer gives the loaf a slightly yeasty taste. The cinnamon pairs well with the oat flour which is a little sweeter tasting than all-purpose flour. It toasts up nicely too! It can be gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats, baking powder and beer.
