I’ve been in a muffin-making mood lately! And here’s another recipe for all you muffin-lovers out there, who are also banana-lovers and chocolate-lovers: Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins!

Easy Fruit Salad
I first made this fruit salad a few months ago for a get-together, and I just kind of created this “recipe” as I went along. My goal was to make an easy, colorful fruit salad. I knew I wanted to use cantaloupe and honeydew melons and red grapes, and I thought strawberries would add a…

Cranberry-Pistachio Granola
I like to make this granola in the winter months—I use cranberries a lot in my winter recipes. It’s great around the holidays, too, because the dried cranberries, pistachios, and pepitas give this Cranberry-Pistachio Granola a touch of red and green. But you can enjoy it all winter long!

Apple–Cheddar Biscuits
Autumn is in the air and that’s when I like making recipes with apples! You probably wouldn’t think about using apples in biscuits, but it’s really good! The tart, grated Granny Smith apples in these savory Apple-Cheddar Biscuits make them moist and tender. And these are drop biscuits, made with a baking mix, so they’re…

I received some candy products from Goetze’s Candy company; all opinions expressed are mine. I’ve been a fan of CaramelCreams® for a long time—maybe you have been too!
