Posted on January 16, 2016 | 2 comments

I love foods you can dip. Ok, maybe I just love finger foods and eating with my hands. I feel like a kid again. Or maybe it’s the dip. Dips add another dimension of flavor and texture to the food. I love dips! Whatever your reason to dig in with your hands, this toasted ravoli with homemade dipping sauce recipe has it all. Crunchy coating and savory sauce. Dig in!

Buffalo Queso Dip

Posted on December 29, 2015 | Leave a comment

This dip is a riff on Buffalo Chicken Dip. Buffalo is one of my favorite flavors that I miss. This dip is an awesome way to enjoy it. I am planning on making it to celebrate the last regular season football game coming up this Saturday, but it would work well at a new years eve celebration as well!

Easy Guacamole

This recipe is my favorite. I mean it, I am so excited to share this recipe. Guacamole is something that should be easy to make. And this recipe is delicious as well. I made this recipe by testing time and time again, until I came up with the perfect combination. I stock all the ingredients, except the avocado, in my pantry so I can whip it up at any time!

Honey Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cereal Bars

Posted on October 24, 2015 | 2 comments

When I was a kid, scotcheroos were a thing. Way bigger and cooler than the rice crispy treat. In my adult days, I tend not to indulge in such treats because of their effect on my waistline. With these bars I decided to make an exception. They are my adult version of scotcheroos. I made the ingredients a little more wholesome, and the process a little more simple.

Homemade Dill Pickles with Jalapenos

Posted on October 1, 2015 | 20 comments

Pickles are a favorite snack of mine. They are crunchy, briny and full of flavor, but light and not calorie ridden. Its funny to me that pickled cucumbers are known as pickles, because you can pickle just about any vegetable. I love to pickle peppers, asparagus, and okra! Try these homemade dill pickles with jalapenos!

Whole Wheat Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

Posted on August 31, 2015 | Leave a comment

I wasn’t kidding the other day when I said I was trying to get my fill of zucchini before the season is over. I’m even putting it in my desserts! Ha! If you have never tried zucchini in a baked good, like zucchini bread, or these chocolate muffins, you’re missing out. The zucchini keeps these muffins moist, which is important to consider when baking with whole wheat flour.

Baked Tortilla Chips

Posted on August 24, 2015 | Leave a comment

Every time I buy a large package of corn tortillas we never seem to get them used up before they start to go stale. Food waste is unacceptable in my house, so I have been searching for a way to use up leftover tortillas after we are out of taco fixings. These chips are the perfect answer.

Mom’s Banana Bread Makeover

Posted on August 17, 2015 | 1 comment

Banana bread is a comfort food for me. It was something that we made frequently when I was young. I learned how to make it by helping my mom and sister in the kitchen. Every time we had leftover bananas, it was time to make bread!

Our family recipe is delicious, but I found myself avoiding it because it was high in calories. When I became confident in my kitchen skills I started experimenting with making it lighter and more wholesome. This recipe has been tested over and over again. Finally it is ready to share!

Pecan Cardamom Cookies

Posted on August 15, 2015 | Leave a comment

I do not usually eat a lot of desserts; I’m just not into sweets that much. Maybe its because sugar makes me bounce off the walls. Or maybe it’s because desserts tend to be calorie bombs that don’t lend themselves to wholesome ingredients. These cookies satisfied all my needs for a healthy dessert, and they even passed the approval test of my fiance’s co-workers!
