I don’t know why, but I was at least in my 20’s before I tried an Almond Joy candy bar. For some reason I always thought that I didn’t like them. Maybe I tried them when I was a kid and forgot, but I had this weird negative association with them. Finally one day I decided to try one…and I loved it. I love coconut, almonds, and chocolate so the combo makes sense to me. While they aren’t something I eat often, I do enjoy them once in a while. So, when I had a bag of left over coconut, I started brainstorming what I could do with it. I browsed Pinterest and didn’t find ...

Year in Review & the Top 10 Posts of 2013
Wow, I cannot believe another year has passed and it’s going to be 2014! It’s exciting and the time is really flying by. The last year was a BIG year for the Domestic Superhero Blog, and things have really come a long way. One of the biggest things that happened this year was a total redesign of the blog! It took a lot of courage to step out of the box I had been writing in over the last year, and step into something new. I am SO happy I did though, because know I love the new look of Domestic Superhero, and I feel like the vision I always had for this blog has come to ...
Cranberry Walnut Bread with a Crumble Topping
Growing up we always had cranberry sauce at our Thanksgiving table. I am not talking homemade lumpy cranberry sauce, I am talking straight up from a can cranberry sauce. I thought the indents on the cranberry blob/sauce were pretty cool and that it allowed you to see how it looked from the inside of the can. Why did it need those indentations on the can anyway? This, I will never know (well, unless I hit up google, but I am not too concerned about it anymore). Can or not, I always loved cranberry sauce. My favorite thing to do was use it the day after ...
Skinny Tomato Basil Soup
Look familiar? This soup probably doesn’t look familiar, but if you follow my blog it might I have a confession…. I actually posted this recipe 11 months ago, but I was always a little embarrassed to share it, because the pictures were really bad. I know no one likes looking at pictures of food that doesn’t look appetizing, and that was a problem I was having. I will even share my embarrassing photo with you…. Maybe it’s not the worst picture ever, but it sure isn’t great! Having bad light or a bad camera can really be a disadvantage. Back then I didn’t ...
Skinny Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
In case you haven’t heard, it’s fall! Not only is it fall, but it’s almost Halloween and all the delicious pumpkin treats are in full swing. I should have probably posted these Skinny Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins a while ago, but to be completely honest I just made them last weekend….I am a little behind on my pumpkin cooking. Well, I wouldn't say I’m exactly late, but, better now then never! I was originally making this recipe as a bread, and had some left over batter because, well, I only have one loaf pan (note to self: buy more cooking supplies). The recipe I ...
Caprese Panini with Tomato, Pesto & Mozzarella
This sandwich is seriously delicious. Not even going to sugar coat it or build it up, it is to.die.for. Make this for lunch, make it for dinner. Don’t wait, do it now. I was picking up my usual at Costco last week: quinoa, lettuce, and some pictures I had ordered, and while making my way back to the produce section, I passed by a ‘bread roadshow'. Basically someone was in the store, slicing up pieces of crusty bread and giving them out as samples. I passed by and noticed there was a huge crowd of people around them but why all the commotion? After I grabbed my huge bag ...
