Double Dark Chocolate Muffins with Raspberry and Coconut

March 29, 2019Leave a comment

In case you can't tell, I'm obsessed with Kodiak Cakes products, especially their flapjack mixes! I use them more for making muffins than I do for pancakes or waffles!

Inevitably, as the weather changes and the air cools, so do my cravings and my habits in the kitchen. Not only do I yearn for soups and stews, roasts and gravies; I also want to bake things!

Trader Joe’s to the rescue! Feeling a little lazy (and also a ‘lil hangry😉), I combined linguine with limone alfredo and topped it with roasted brussels and smoked apple sausage! Served alongside a green salad and dinner is served!! #hangry #pastabilities #alfredo #roasted #tjtotherescue
Shrimp Fried Rice and Kimchi Wonton Soup; both homemade, both delish!! #shrimprecipes #friedrice #kimchi #wontonsoup #ontheblog #homemade #notakeoutneeded
Gonna call this my Dilly, Dilly Salad! Took a vegan recipe for mayo-less pasta salad and made it my own using Greek yogurt, chickpea pasta, loads of chopped fresh veggies and obviously…dill!! #mealprepsunday #dillydilly #pastasalad #chickpeapasta #nomayo #dillicious
Super fun cooking class making gnocchi and chicken scallopini! Even though I “can cook”, there’s always a takeaway! For example, salt your water AFTER it starts to boil! Swap Prosecco for white wine when making your sauce! And dredge in rice flour for your gluten free peeps!! It also helps when you cook alongside a friend @dina_collinson ! Thanks for setting this up!! #cookingclassy #gnocchis #scallopini #icancook #cookingwithfriends
Tender, tasty air fryer fish tacos made with fresh striped bass, served with crunchy cabbage slaw, homemade refried black beans and cilantro lime rice… not bad for a Monday night!! #freshfish #fishtacos #letstacoboutit #mondaymeal

Jambalaya; every once in a blue moon I crave this shrimpy, spicy, ricy dish! Tonight I used a chicken andouille sausage which brought flavor and a kick, served it over a scoop of cilantro lime rice and cooled things off with a drizz of creamy lime dressing and a handful of chopped cilantro!! #jambalaya #spicy #cravings
You know you’re a foodie (or maybe a food junkie😜) when you dream up this sandwich while checking out at Target!? Good thing I had rolls, deli roast beef and provolone on hand at home… and I’m especially grateful I sliced and froze those extra bell peppers from this summer’s farm share and tucked them away for a rainy - or in this case flurry filled- day!! #lunchtime #cheesesteak #foodielife #cravings
Live from my kitchen… it’s Saturday night! Red lentil rotini in a semi-homemade Sambuca sauce (think vodka, but sweeter😉) with pancetta and peas!! #stillsick #hungrytho #lentilpasta #sambucasauce #peasplease
Roasted tofu and veggies with a side of homemade cold noodle! Feed a cold, starve a fever… that’s what I’ve been told😜!! #tofurecipe #sheetpandinner #coldnoodle #remedy
Culinary genius or pure desperation🤔?! I’m home alone with a cold and craving Italian Wedding Soup so I sautéed some frozen chopped kale, added minced garlic, chicken stock, Monday’s diced meatloaf and a scoop of left over boxed mac-n-cheese! It may not taste like Grandma’s but it’s savory and satisfying!! #youdecide #genius #craycray #soupson #feedacold #weddingsoup #leftoversforlunch
Monday is for meatloaf! #loaflife #steamed #frenchies
