So this recipe was originally supposed to be chocolate peanut butter granola bars...which obviously didn't work out. At first I thought I was going to have to chalk this up to another fail recipe, but after trying the granola clusters, they ended up turning out better than anything I initially imagined! Granola bars have a different texture than straight up granola - they are chewier while granola ...

Roasted Garlic Kale Hummus
Alright people. This hummus is amazing. It really is the best hummus I've ever had. It has a soft, velvety texture and an amazing flavor. This hummus goes above and beyond the traditional kind. The roasted garlic and kale add so much extra depth and complexity. The flavor of those two additions don't smack you in the face, but they add so much extra deliciousness to the dip. And it's also a ...
Crock Pot Pepper Beef Stew
It has been absolutely FREEZING in Georgia this week! Well, freezing compared to the sixty degree winter we've had so far this year. I've been spoiled...spoiled bad. Next winter we will be in Kansas, and I'm pretty sure it will be nowhere near sixty degrees in February...so I'm trying to enjoy it while I can! This stew was the perfect meal to counteract the bitterly cold weather we have been ...
Pimento Cheese Turkey Sliders
Oh my GOSH these are delicious. They are so, so, so flavorful and have so many different textures going on. It is the perfect bite. You have the soft potato roll, the crunch from the bottom of the toasted bun, the crisp bite from the arugula and onion, creamy deliciousness from the pimento cheese, and then a juicy flavor explosion from the slider. Chew that amazing mouthful and repeat. A million ...
Spicy Tuna Roll
Valentine's Day 2015 was a big hit. It was seriously one of the best days EVER! It started out with my awesome husband making me one of my favorite breakfasts (egg in a hole), included a lunch date, homemade card, super adorable gift, and ended with...wait for it...homemade sushi!! Sushi is my absolute-complete-over-the-top-by-far-most-favorite-food-of-all-time-no-comparison. I could eat it for ...
Spicy Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs
In my opinion, Deviled Eggs are some of the best finger food-appetizer-snacks ever. I absolutely love them. I can eat an entire plate full and still want to go back for more...I have to be really careful when I am at an event where someone brought Deviled Eggs, because if I don't pay attention, I will eat half the plate before everyone else gets to have their fair share...confession. The only ...
Enchilada Dip
Less than a month ago I posted a recipe for Chicken Enchiladas with Greek Yogurt Sauce, so I was considering not even posting this recipe to avoid overdoing the enchilada theme...but a few other Army wives and I have to host something called a "Coffee" (no, you don't have to serve coffee) for some of the other wives. Apparently it's something that officers' wives need to know how to do before we ...
Pan Fried Dumplings with Soy Chili Peanut Sauce
So last night Seth and I were watching "New Girl" and we were on that episode in season three when Coach is trying to convince Nick to start working out. For the first five minutes of the episode, it shows Nick eating dumplings from a Chinese restaurant down the street, and Coach keeps asking him "Do you want to be a do-er or a dumplinger??". We were laying there watching this episode and craving ...
Quinoa Fried Rice
Fried rice makes me think of lazy evenings with my husband when we decide to go grab takeout instead of cooking at home. We get up, drive a few blocks down the street to the best takeout place ever (probably isn't good that we have an awesome takeout place right down the street) and pick up our food, take it home, open up the fried rice box, and attempt to divvy it out onto plates and spill little ...
Grapefruit Honey Frozen Yogurt
I've been thinking about making this recipe for several weeks now and oh...my...goodness...it was so much better than I expected. I mean I thought it sounded great...but, wow. This is seriously the most amazing frozen yogurt I have ever had, and it is SO easy, and it is SO healthy! Instead of going out to a frozen yogurt shop and dropping five bucks on a cup of frozen sugar, make this super easy ...
