Mix up the classic oatmeal cookie recipe by adding almond flavor for a boost of nuttiness and nutrients. Growing up, I probably made oatmeal cookies more than any other type of cookie because they were my dad’s favorite. I’d usually add chocolate chips to half the batch for myself (shocker), but these days, I love…
Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Cookies
Using coconut oil and shredded coconut, this recipe takes oatmeal cookies to the next level for a flavorful, chewy dessert you can’t get enough of. I’m a strong advocate for chocolate chip cookies. In fact, I rarely make cookies without using chocolate chips. They’re basically the point of cookies to me – that is, most…
No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies with Almond and Coconut
These raw chocolate chip cookies are filled with almond and coconut flavors for a healthy dessert you can’t get enough of! Confession: If I know a dessert is legit healthy, I don’t view it as a dessert–I see it as more of a snack. That’s my beef with today’s recipe. I made a no-bake version…
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
With so many cookie variations out there, it can be hard to pick a favorite. If I had to choose, though, I think it would be chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Chocolate chip cookies are all fine and dandy, but there’s just something about the addition of oatmeal that I love. I guess it’s the gooey…

Happy National Peanut Butter Cookie Day! ……………a day early. Whenever I actually have a recipe to share, I like to keep it consistent. Tuesday=food day in the GMHO world.

Throughout my blogging experience so far, I’ve written about a few significant events, some topics I find interesting, lots of food, and an excessive amount of randomness. Whether you’ve been reading this whole time or this…
My Favorite Things
Not even a month ago, I was running in 20-degree weather. Now I’m dealing with the 70’s. And you know what’s really weird? I think I prefer running when it’s 30 out, rather than 70 (20 is too cold). Maybe it’s because I’m never satisfied with whatever weather I’m experiencing at the time. Regardless of…
My Favorite Things
According to the countdown on the side of my page, I have 18 days until my marathon. Can I get a bloody hell!? Workout The plan is to run around 9 miles today in the early afternoon because 1. I don’t feel like it right now and 2. I have the time later so why…
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Why oh why do I so often do leg workouts the day before a long run? I used to do this a lot without realizing it. Well, yesterday I did a lower body strength workout, and my legs were so tired today. Somehow I was able to run my planned 11 miles for this week’s long…
2 Recipes: Baked Spaghetti + Greek Yogurt Cookies
Sometimes a classic recipe needs some extra oomph. After finding some frozen ground beef in the freezer (imagine that), I decided to make some spaghetti. I don’t know about you, but I get sick of spaghetti sometimes. It’s good, but it’s just spaghetti. For some reason, food seems more exciting when it’s baked, at least…
