Guess what’s around the corner?!? Just the one holiday that M’s been talking about since last year when she got her first “candy bucket.” Obviously this time of year is all about candy, which means that I’m thinking about how to make them from scratch and at home. One of my husband’s favorite candies? Butterfingers. But so many of the recipes I’ve found online have corn syrup in them or, even worse, candy corn. Bleh. Until now. These Copycat Butterfinger Candy Bites are my healthier, bite sized take on this classic candy!

This Easy Homemade Muesli is a breakfast that's healthier than granola and packed full of nutrition from nuts, seeds, and dried fruits!

There are some foods that you never forget the first time you had them. Muesli is one of them for me. I was living in Italy where breakfast is sweet. As a fruit and eggs breakfast eater, I was lost. Eggs? Never. Fruit? Blank stares. Toast? Only if it has Nutella. The best I could compromise for from my hosts was muesli and yogurt. And omg muesli. I was. In. Love. Oats, dried fruits, and nuts. This Easy Homemade Muesli is takes me back to my days in Italy and also gives my girls a delicious, healthy cereal!

Ahh good ol’ spinach and eggs. It is a favorite combo in our house!

One of our new favorite grab ‘n go breakfasts are these Spinach and Feta Egg Cups!

It’s prime blueberry picking season here in the PNW and I couldn’t be happier. A couple of weekends ago we took the girls to a local farm and picked 8 lbs of the beauties and when I asked M what we should make with them, her immediate response was cookies! Since summer has been filled with loads of birthday parties, gatherings, and outings with cake, ice cream, popsicles, and endless other treats, these Healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies were the perfect way to help balance the rest of the summer deliciousness.

Anyone who knows me knows that I can easily turn my head to any cookie, cake, or ice cream. Now cheese, popcorn, or anything salty and crunchy, it’s a whole different story. But these White Chocolate Blondies from scratch are the exception… I ate one. And a second. Then I questioned everything I knew about myself as I thought about grabbing a third (spoiler, I had a third).
