My goal every Christmas is to create an original cookie recipe. I love this time of the year when everyone makes cookies and we all get to share some of those goodies. This recipe came to life when I saw Justin Chapple’s chocolate pretzel crinkle cookies. I brainstormed a little and put together this crinkle …
Want a reason to have breakfast for tacos? This is one of the many reasons and quite possibly one option you never had. This plantain breakfast taco recipe is easy to make and comes together in no time. I know I say this all the time but my recipes are meant to come together with …
Thanksgiving is around the corner once again and I am looking forward to a nice meal and of course the resulting food coma.

The one regret I have is not making this any sooner and waiting until the end of summer to make this. The combination of bananas and guava juice screams tropical goodness. It is …
