Don't you love it when you are eating something that is crazy, insanely, ridiculously good for you but still tastes amazing? It's like when you are eating a doughnut or a cookie and thinking...man, how amazing would it be if eating junk food like this was the heath equivalent of a salad? I love creating recipes that are amazing for you but don't make you feel like you are making a sacrifice to eat ...
Peach Jalapeno Ketchup
Anyone I went to middle school or high school with would be shocked that I am posting a recipe for ketchup. I was known to have quite the ketchup aversion throughout those years of my life. NO idea where it came from, but it really grossed me out, and in certain instances it would actually make me sick! Like if it was on the side of a cup...or dried onto a table...or on a napkin. I know...super ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Brown Butter Popcorn
It has been three entire days since I've posted a new recipe...I definitely try my best to post more often than that, but I had a recipe fail that I worked on for two days and just ended up trashing. "Chicken Parmesan Cups"....the bane of my existence. I literally tried for hours to figure out the perfect, easiest way to bake Parmesan cheese in the oven and then form it into little cups using ...
Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons
Everything about this soup is just heavenly. The soup itself is slightly spicy from the pepper flakes, a little creamy from the Greek yogurt, smoky from the roasted peppers and fire roasted tomatoes, and hearty from the pureed vegetables. It is literally perfect! And the grilled cheese croutons just give it that little extra salty, cheesy bite. I am really excited about this recipe...it has the ...
Mediterranean Cous Cous Salad
If you read my Greek Nachos with Feta Cheese Sauce post, you know that I love Greek salad. This Mediterranean Cous Cous Salad is another non-traditional way to enjoy these delicious flavors. I absolutely LOVE cous cous...I could eat it for every meal. And I also love using cous cous in salad...so combining one of my favorite salads with cous cous just makes sense..... The combination of red ...
