Today I have a delicious idea for breakfast that I know you are going to love – Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal.

I am not a fan of those instant oatmeal packets ever since I first made baked oatmeal. I love that you can essentially whip up the oatmeal, pour it in a baking dish and the oven does all of the hard work. I saw this Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal recipe on one of my favorite cooking shows, Ellie’s Real Good Food, and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I love Ellie Krieger’s recipes and her cookbooks, Comfort Food Fix: Feel-Good Favorites Made Healthy and You Have It Made: Delicious, Healthy Do-Ahead Meals, are a must on my cookbook shelf. Her recipes always have a healthy twist but you don’t feel like you are skimping out an anything. When she said she had a breakfast recipe that was somewhat like carrot cake, I knew I had to give it a whirl. …

This recipe originally appeared on Cooking In Stilettos in October of 2012. The recipe has been updated with new photos and any recipe changes that I have incorporated over the years.

While out shopping, I happened to stop by Barnes & Noble. While I was perusing the cookbook section, I happened to notice a stack of books on the back counter and lo and behold, at the top of the book pile was Cook Yourself Sexy: Easy Delicious Recipes for the Hottest, Most Confident You, from one of my fave stiletto gals, Candice Kumai. I have had the book pre-ordered for months but that wasn’t slated to be delivered until release day. Being the impatient stiletto wench that I am, it was a no-brainer. I grabbed one of the copies and went straight to the register. Recipes had to be made and no time like the present, right?…

April 26, 2016 By Aly

This smooth and silky Toasty Coconut Cocktail has the familiar flavors of the favorite Toasted Almond drink with a coconut twist.

This post has been sponsored by Silk Nutchello. My opinion and love for the brand is my own.

Spring has arrived. Actually, it feels like summer but who is complaining, right? The birds are chirping, the sun is hsining and flowers are bloming everywhere! One thing I love about the good weather is enjoying a fab cocktail on the back porch and enjoying the weather. Today, I have a cocktail that is perfect to welcome spring with – The Toasty Coconut Cocktail.

Sometimes when I’m looking to switch up my cocktail game, I love experimenting with new flavors and products. Lately, I have been trying to limit dairy so I have been using Silk’s products in various recipes. While perusing the store, I spotted their new Nutchello products in some pretty delicious flavors. I saw the Toasted Coconut + Cashew and couldn’t resist giving that a try. Nutchello also comes in these scrumptious Caramel Almond + Cashews and Dark Chocolate + Walnuts flavors. Any of these are a delicious sip on its own, stirred into coffee or whirled into a smoothie.

Holiday party season is here and I have an appetizer that will have your guests begging for the recipe – Tropical Spiced Mixed Nuts that are sweetly spicy and accented with dried pineapple, mango, ginger and coconut.

Planters wanted recipe incorporating their delicious nuts, including their Mixed Nuts, Walnuts and Cashews. I know I have spoken about it before but Planters cashews strike a special note in my heart. My Bampa loved his cashews, often keeping containers of Planters cashews in the pantry and in the jar in the living room. If he was here today, I have no doubt he would have loved this recipe….
