These cinnamon mocha bars are the baked good you didn’t know you needed. They’re somewhat similar to a blondie in texture, but a touch more cookie-like. The cookie-cake part of the bars are buttery and laced with cinnamon and a hint of coffee, then the tops are covered in sweet chocolate and chopped walnuts. The combination is completely addictive, even if you are not a fan of coffee! (Which is me, I’m not a coffee person!...
Our love for all Latin food is very apparent, if you browse through GypsyPlate. Our first encounter with Puerto Rican cuisine was with their Picadillo.

We were immediately drawn towards colorful San Juan and Rincon, for the laid back feel and beautiful vibes....

Growing up we ate two kinds of pancakes: your average bisquick fluffy white flour pancakes and what we affectionately called “parent pancakes” (and still call them that to this day). Parent pancakes were a completely whole grain “healthy” pancake, at least until we drowned them in maple syrup. My parents would mix up a couple whole grain flours with baking powder and salt, and this mix would be stored in the pantry....

Pita Pizza I am a huge fan of making homemade pizza since I find it usually takes less time than ordering it and going to pick it up, BUT I am a super fan of shortcut Pita Pizza. The last time I made this, my kids didn’t even realize it wasn’t “real” pizza crust. And given how easy this pizza recipe is, that was a giant win. Whole wheat or regular pita bread is a wonderful base for pizza since it’s sturdy, fairly neutral in flavor, and a perfect size to be a personal (or shared) pizza....
