Cherry Blended Overnight Oats

Most of us have tried overnight oats by this point, but have you ever tried them blended? This was a new concept for me until one of my fellow chefs at work was talking about it and now I’m hooked. These creamy oats are protein packed and bursting with delicious cherry vanilla flavor. I topped Cherry Blended Overnight Oats

Dried Cherry and Apple Baked Oats

I’m all about make-ahead meals that provide nutrients to keep us full, focused and energized throughout the busy work week. Oats have always been a go-to breakfast for me, and I especially love steel-cut oats because they provide a chewy texture and nutty flavor. To reheat, simply scoop your desired amount of oats into a Dried Cherry and Apple Baked Oats

Cranberry-Orange Scones

Fresh cranberries are abundant at the grocery stores right now so it’s a great time to stock up! I’ve always loved the flavor combo of cranberry and orange – their tart sweetness compliment one another so nicely. This scone dough’s flavor is elevated with notes of cinnamon, ginger, orange zest and vanilla. Serve these with Cranberry-Orange Scones

Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins

Blueberry season in west Michigan is a special time – it is the beginning of peak summer produce and I love to stock up. The locally-grown berries are so sweet and delicious and the perfect addition to these muffins. The cornbread-like batter bakes up beautifully and creates a golden brown, crunchy top. Serve these with Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins

Vanilla Cream Scones

Spring is almost here and strawberries are looking so beautiful at the grocery store right now. The ones I bought today were from Plant City, Florida which is where we would always go with my grandparents growing up. I’m a big fan of strawberry shortcake so I decided these vanilla scones would be a perfect Vanilla Cream Scones

Pumpkin Bread with Maple Chai Glaze

It’s a good time of year to stock up on canned pumpkin because it’s most likely going to be on sale. It adds wonderful flavor to this quick bread but I also love using it in pancakes, cookies and even chili. Serve this bread at your upcoming holiday brunch and prepare to wow your guests!
