Baking

I've been baking since I was 9 years old - I would make my family healthy cookies, interesting muffins, and all their birthday cakes! My love for baking has never stopped. And now I feel so lucky to share my recipes with this community that also wants wholesome recipes to feed their family.

These days I'm baking muffins weekly for toddlers' snacktime (like these banana applesauce muffins), or for other moms who've just had a baby. I love to make cookies (totally obsessed with these olive oil almond cookies!) when I'm craving something sweet. And egg bites are one of my favorite things to meal prep for high protein snacks.
