Blueberry Cream Pie

When blueberries are on sale and you buy way more than you’ll eat before they spoil, what better way to use them then in a pie! This is my grandmother’s recipe, and you can use basically any fruit you prefer in it (apples, peaches, cherries, raspberries). It’s easy to make and always a favorite.

Chick Pea Sweet Potato Burgers

I’m always looking for more vegetarian options to incorporate into our meal rotation, and homemade veggie burgers are an easy option. I love that I can make a bunch in advance and freeze them for an easy weeknight meal. Plus, these are inexpensive to make and I typically have all the ingredients on-hand.

Wheat Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Does anyone else hoard overripe bananas in their freezer? I always seem to have a running bag of bananas in my freezer that I intend to use for baking but then forget about. So when I was cleaning out my freezer this past weekend, I busted out the black bananas and made a big batch of these healthier banana muffins from Cookie and Kate
