Public service announcement: Adding apples to coleslaw is revolutionary. The crisp, sweet, crunchy fruit folded in with the cabbage is what dreams are made of, people. If you've never tried this before, it is very important that you stop what you are doing right this instant, go to your local grocery store, grab some apples and some other yummy ingredients, and MAKE THIS NOW. Now. Go. I'll ...
Avocado, Arugula, and Tomato Toasts with Easy Balsamic Syrup
Sooooo....I realized once I was DONE editing these pictures for tonight's post that I literally just posted a "toast" recipe last week. Myyyyyyy bad. Gettin' a little repetitive over here. Once I had that realization, I did recall a faint memory of thinking "Okay, it's alright to post another toast recipe as long as I publish it at the end of the week so it's not back to back." Brilliant thought, ...
Peach, Goat Cheese, and Basil Toasts
Oh. My. Gosh. Listen to me right now. I have instructions for you. Stand up, get in your car, drive to the nearest grocery store, buy a whole grain baguette, goat cheese, peaches, and basil, go home, and MAKE THESE RIGHT THIS SECOND. You guys. It is not often that I lose my mind this much over a recipe. Yes, I only post things on here that I love, love, looooovveee, but there are only a handful ...
Five 21 Day Fix Snacks
Here's one thing that can be challenging about the 21 Day Fix: it sometimes feels like you are eating a lot of the same stuff over and over again. For me, I find a few meals that are super healthy and fit in with the container portions really well, and I will eat those meals (or meals very similar to them) several times a week. A lot of the time for snacks (and by a lot of the time, I pretty ...
Crispy Garlic Bread Chickpeas [21 Day Fix]
There are just those days when you crave salty and crunchy snacks like nobody's business...#amIright? When I get in these moods, I always want something like chips or popcorn. Popcorn isn't as far up on the "unhealthy scale" as chips...unless you drizzle a tablespoon stick of butter overtop...which of course I never, ever do...obviously. Some people crave candy and chocolate all the time - I crave ...
10 Minute Black Bean Hummus
When I was in North Carolina last month, my friends and I went out to this brewery where we ordered a few (by "few" I mean four) orders of their amazing black bean hummus. I was so in love with this stuff...I immediately wrote it down in my phone to recreate for a blog post! It is similar to a classic hummus, but there is another layer of flavor and texture present from the black beans. So ...
Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip
First of all, I want to thank the awesome people over at Nuts.com for including me in their mission to push healthy snack food during tailgating season! Their website is awesome and they have lots of delicious and healthy snack ideas. So...I know you know how much I love football. #PanthersForever #TheyAreActuallyGoodThisYear #FirstTimeinFOREVER One of the best parts of football is the ...
Portion Your Fridge!
There is a constant lack of snacks in our fridge and pantry. When we go grocery shopping, I never really think to buy stuff for snacks; I just get food to make dinner and assume there will be random left over ingredients to snack on throughout the week. False. Seth and I are frequent fridge and pantry visitors - walking over in the search for snacks and rarely finding anything ...
Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Clusters
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 ...
