Pumpkin Muffins (Gluten Free)!

At a recent visit to Trader Joe's I came across this pumpkin muffin baking mix, and my eyes somehow skipped reading the "gluten free" label, but oh well! By adding oil, water and eggs, these muffins were flavorful and definitely not overly sweet.

Strawberry Cookies!

Bakers, you know the drill. You open your fridge only to realize that gorgeous carton of berries is half full, and going downhill fast. What to do? Quickly google an easy cookie or muffin recipe and put those delicious berries to good use!

My quick Sunday morning Googling led me to a blog adorably titles, "An Italian In My Kitchen". You can find the recipe link here, and I highly recommend it. I used a cup of finely chopped fresh strawberries, and the cookies baked up soft and chewy, which was a great texture for the fruit.

La Centrale: Miami - Review!

My best friend and I went to the Ariana Grande concert in Miami on a Friday night, but we decided to make a day of it and explore La Centrale - a huge Italian food hall with several different themed bars and restaurants. My opinion is that it is a fun experience, but definitely overpriced, and very typically Miami. You can find out more info here!
