Hi Friends! Do I have a treat for you today. A couple years ago Mr. Sam mentioned that I should try to make a new kind of cookie, an oatmeal cookie combined with a snickerdoodle and I should call it an Oatmadoodle. Fast forward to today and I finally have an Oatmadoodle Cookie recipe to share with you! Yay! Talking about these cookies today seems exceptionally appropriate since Saturday is Mr. Sam’s birthday! I’m baking him the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake that I posted last year cause it’s his favorite. Fun fact: I’ve baked it for each of his birthdays since we’ve been married. As an adult, I don’t know if there…

Whole Wheat Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins
It’s been months since I’ve posted a new muffin recipe and that’s just not fair to you or to me. Today I have a new recipe for whole wheat muffins that are dotted with mini chocolate chips.

Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Tilapia and Vegetables
Are sheet pan meals still a thing? Please, please say yes. Not only does today’s meal qualify as a one pan meal, it is also a 30-minute meal! #score We try to switch things up and eat fish for dinner every once in a while. But I don’t like fish that tastes fishy or that’s bland and dry. This Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Tilapia is not overly fishy, is full of flavor, and is definitely not dry. You start with placing your thawed tilapia filets and frozen vegetables on a sheet pan, then you drizzle them with melted butter with minced garlic and grated parmesan. …

Stay tuned for some Instant Pot recipes! {TWO} Speaking of the…
