Until about three years ago I loathed zucchini in baked goods. Growing up my grandfather had an enormous garden and he grew all kinds of vegetables, zucchini included. My grandmother always used to make baked goods with zucchini in them all summer long, and it really infuriated my 7 year old self. I still ate […]
Happy Thursday! We’ve made it this far and now it’s time for some fun in the kitchen. Why does “fun in the kitchen” automatically translate to “baking” for so many? Am I completely alone in this thought? I don’t think so. Dear readers, don’t think I don’t know that “buckeye” anything traditionally involves peanut butter. […]
This may come as a surprise to some, but it’s actually pretty difficult to try to get a food blog up and running when there’s a pandemic happening in the world. I haven’t been to any kind of grocery store in over two weeks and I don’t see that changing any time soon. So for […]
Have you ever had those Tate’s cookies you can buy at the grocery store in the green bags? We are pretty much addicted to those things here in my house. So much to the point that we should probably stop buying them because we all but inhale them. So when I got an air fryer […]
Happy Valentine’s Day out there! If you happen to be a breakfast and brunch kind of person, this is the treat for you! If I didn’t have to work all day on Valentine’s Day I would be making these for Mike and I for sure. Maybe I’ll make them this weekend! We’re still finalizing our […]
Now that it’s February I am ready for all of the Valentine’s Day recipes! I know, I know, it’s a Hallmark holiday. Whatever. But I still love it all the same. An excuse to consume chocolate? Yes please! Have you ever seen that movie Valentine’s Day? It’s been out for about a decade now but […]
Merry Christmas Eve! I can’t believe the day that so many people look forward to all year long (myself included) is finally here. A few weeks back I talked about how it didn’t really feel like Christmas yet. Well, it STILL doesn’t feel like Christmas to me! If it doesn’t feel like Christmas today, I’m […]
Any kind of chocolate bark is a favorite of mine during the holiday season. As a bonus, it’s super simple to make and it’s a great thing to make with kids. It’s great for holiday bake sales and it would make a thoughtful teacher’s gift as well. So here is my spin on peppermint bark! […]
We’ve officially reached the season of peppermint everything, and I am here for it. We’ve survived and surpassed pumpkin season and are now on to a new flavor profile that the food marketing gods insist that we consume in mass quantities. I’ve never been a huge peppermint fan, but this year I purchased a bottle […]
Happy December! Writing that freaked me out just a little bit. 2019 has really flown by so far and there’s no sign of it slowing down whatsoever. Holiday recipes are in full swing over here in The Hungry Hungry Hiker kitchen and what better way to kick off Christmas recipes than with classic hot chocolate? […]
