Granola Bars

Granola Bars

My friend Sam posted about a place in Chicago called Taste of New York that had rainbow bagels, and I thought I needed to make a batch of rainbow bagels with my skinny pizza dough. Best decision evah! Now, this is a...

Morning Glory Muffins

Morning Glory Muffins
I remember my Mom making morning glory muffins growing up.  She must have made them often, or maybe when she did make them a few times they made an impression, but I loved them.  I am probably sure I didn’t know there were veggies in there! My idea to make these morning glory muffins came to me when I realized I had a zucchini, one...
