Do you remember those sugary fruit roll-ups that you might have eaten as a kid? My homemade dehydrator peach leather is a healthy version of that snack that can be made with essentially only 1 ingredient!
I tested this recipe with and without sugar and found both versions to be delicious. You don’t really need to add the sugar, but if your peaches are not very sweet, you may still want it. Continue reading
Friends, I may have gone over the top on this recipe! My summer supply of zucchini only seems to be growing and I was in the mood for chocolate. This whole wheat fudgy chocolate zucchini bread could easily pass for zucchini brownies instead of bread!
When I was making this bread, I wanted to use up as much zucchini as possible. I knew that was going to make a really heavy and dense bread loaf, not your typical fluffy “banana bread” style quick bread. Continue reading

There is a local bakeshop that makes the most delicious peanut clusters. I decided that quarantine was the best time to try and make some myself! Mine are different, but these toffee dark chocolate almond clusters are amazing!
I try to reduce added sugars in my diet wherever possible. Therefore, dark chocolate is a better choice for me than milk chocolate. Especially when I’m combining it with toffee, which is very sweet (and delicious!). Continue reading
Friends, it has finally gotten cold here. Like frost on your windsheld cold. I pulled all my green tomatoes out of the garden last weekend, and made this delicous fresh green tomato salsa verde!
I had 8 lbs of green tomaotes, so there was plenty to make this green tomato mince pie as well as many batches of salsa. Keep reading below to hear about some of the variations I tried. Continue reading

Kimchi is one of those things that you either love, or hate, and I love it! Ever since I discovered my love of kimchi, I have been looking for new ways to use it. These Korean BBQ jackfruit nachos with kimchi are a fun way to mix it up!
As I start to think about nachos, I am realizing that I have never posted my favorite traditonal nacho recipe. I have a greek nachos recipe, and a 4th of July themed nachos, so traditional nachos are on the way 😉 Continue reading

Whenever I get hungry in the middle of the afternoon, I reach for one of these high protein chocolate chunk muffins! They feel like a treat, while also filling me up and helping me to snack less!
Usually when I get hungry before dinnertime, its because I needed a little extra protein. However, I’m one of those people that wants everthing I eat to feel special, not just I’m eating because I have to. If you eat because you are hungry, but don’t feel satisfied with what you eat, you’re likely to keep snacking. Continue reading

Friends, I am so excited/anxious to share this recipe with you today! I’m excited because this teriyaki mushroom jerky recipe is Amazing (with a capital A!), and I’m anxious because I am also sharing my first ever video!!
I have been interested in video for the blog for a while now, but honestly, time to learn a new skill has been difficult to find. I am a bit of a perfectionist, and I know that this video is far from perfect, but you have to start somewhere. The more time that I spend making videos, the better they will get. I hope you enjoy it! Continue reading

Recently, I came across the idea for loaded feta fries while reading a magazine. However, I didn’t want to heat up the oven for fries during the heat of summer! Instead, I recreated the recipe to make these tomato and cucumber loaded greek nachos!
Nachos are such an easy meal, I have been enjoying them a lot this summer, usually heated to melt some cheese. This nacho recipe is different for many reasons, but especially because it is cold! Continue reading

One of my favorite things to do is enjoy an evening around the campfire! Campfires usually lead to drinks and food, and my favorite campfire food is this weeks recipe, homemade smokey white cheddar popcorn!
This popcorn gets it’s smokey flavor from smoked paprika. The fresher the smoked paprika, the stronger the flavor will be. I buy small amounts from the bulk spices so that it never looses its strong flavor! Continue reading
