Homemade granola is all about taking back control over your cereal. It is from this early morning soapbox that you can start your day right – with a measured allowance of sugar, that leaves plenty of dietary room for that chocolate treat that’s looming at the back of your mind throughout the day, a reduction…

Cowboy Cookies
For when regular chocolate chip cookies just won’t cut it… Cowboy cookies elevate chocolate chip cookies to a whole new level with the inclusion of coconut, oats, and pecans. Every time I bake these cookies I’m at war with myself as to whether this is cookie overkill. I mean there is, absolutely, nothing wrong with…

Normally I would top my buttercream with shredded coconut, but as I am baking these cookies for Easter, I decided on pastel piped buttercream instead. I confess to owning a…
Snowdrift Muffins
My snowdrift muffins are coconut muffins with white chocolate chips. Decent fresh fruit is hard to find at this time of the year, and I have been branching out into the use of other dried and preserved fruits. I love dried coconut, but it has the tendency to dry out your baked goods if you…
