  • Mom It Down: Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Pie. (Gluten Free!)

    I first began making this pie back in 2005 while on the South Beach Diet. I had a tough time giving up sweets. So, I did a little research and found something that worked with phase three of the diet. While I stopped following South Beach, the pie remained. I now pair a sugar version with…

  • Mom It Down: Whole Wheat Chai Muffins

    I am a chai lover. Chai lattes are a personal favorite of mine. I don’t drink them often, but on chilly or rainy days, they’re a perfect treat. A while back I thought it might be nice to come up with a chai muffin recipe, combining two things that I love. And so I began…

  • Mom It Down: Vegan Cupcakes

    We attended a party recently where the host was vegan. I decided to continue the cupcake trend I’ve been on and bake her some vegan treats. I used to bake a lot of vegan baked goods when Toby Joe was vegan. But it’s been years. Much to my surprise, they were easier than their dairy…

  • Mom It Down: Red Velvet Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Icing

    I took this recipe from Cupcakes Year-Round: 50 Recipes for Every Season and Celebration. The book gets mixed reviews on Amazon, mainly because of the way its designed (spiral bound, easel) but it does the trick, especially if you want something a little more decadent but not super difficult. Today’s recipe features red velvet cupcakes with a cream cheese…

  • Mom It Down: Chocolate Chocolate and White Chip Cookies

    These cookies are pretty awesome if I must say so myself. I have been making them for quite some time. They are super easy—even more so if you cut a few corners. If you have the ingredients on hand and are in need of a chocolate fix, these are perfect. You’ll be taking your first…

  • Mom It Down: 100% Whole Wheat Pancakes

    This morning I decided that since Em is on his fourth round of antibiotics, we’d revisit the homemade pancake. He’s not supposed to have much wheat, but we let him have a little bit from time to time. One of the best things about this pancake recipe is they’re excellent on their own. Even my…

  • Mom It Down: Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

    This recipe is nothing amazing, but it sure beats spending an arm and a leg on pre-made pizza dough from the store. Plus, you get to control what goes into it. And I love controlling what goes into my baked goods. (HFCS, I’m talking to you.) What you will need Food processor Saran wrap Pizza stone (optional)…

  • Mom It Down: Apple Crisp!

    I know it isn’t really apple season, but I’m from Pennsylvania. Plus, I can’t think of too many smells more awesome than baking apples. This recipe is a two-parter, but don’t let that scare you. It’s really simply and each step can be broken up. What you will need: 2 -3 Ramekins (or something similar)…
