A fail-proof pie with a granola crust and chocolate pudding filling I used to think I couldn't make pie. It was one of the leading reasons why I was {am} an emotional baker. I could never roll pie crust out. The finished pie never sliced well. (probably because I was cutting too soon - fresh out of the oven pie is not meant to be cut, although I wish it was!) & it just didn't taste that great. Then, just suddenly, I could make pie. I honestly don't know what happened. Maybe it was ...

{Easy} Granola Cookies
An easy cookie filled with banana, granola, oats and chocolate chips This week marks one year since I sustained a stress fracture to my inferior pubic ramus. It's been a challenge both mentally and physically. The first three months, I tried to deny that it happened. I tried to run. & when I finally realized I couldn't, I resorted to walking - even though it hurt. I walked too much and too fast. Every month or so I'd try to run again. I thought maybe KT Tape would help, or compression ...
Chocolate Granola
Chocolate and granola meet in this delicious breakfast treat When I was growing up, I had the same routine every morning. For some reason, I would get up extra early.

Hummingbird Granola
Granola filled with the flavors of spring There's big news at the TEB household - we have kittens! I'm obsessed with cats, so you know I went wild when I heard the news. I actually couldn't believe it. See - this female cat started coming by each day at the same time and same place. The first time I saw her I thought she was "in heat," so I joked that we would be having kittens soon - but I didn't mean in two days! It turns out she had the kittens in our backyard. We have owls ...
Carrot Cake Granola
A yummy twist on my favorite granola and cake I love making granola. I make a batch at least once a week. I used to like making different recipes, but usually ended up being disappointed. When you find a good granola recipe, it's hard to stray from it. I think everyone has a different favorite granola. The Faux Martha shared her favorite and many other bloggers have, too. I've tried many, but none compare to the one I've created based off a bag of coconut. Since last fall, I've been ...
