If you are from an area of the country/world that doesn't have apple butter, and you've never heard of it/don't know what it is, allow me to please explain to you the beauty of this delicious item. Apple butter. There's actually no butter, but "butter" is in the title because of the smooth, velvety spreadability of the final, pureed, slow cooked apple product. It's like jam in the way that you ...
Curry White Bean Dip
Are you ready for quite possibly the easiest little appetizer/party food/snack ever? This white bean dip takes TOPS five minutes to make. Everything just gets dumped into a food processor and whirled around to smooth, mouthwatering perfection. SO easy it’s not even fair!

Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion, and Pine Nut Toasts
Ima have to make this one short today, friends. Today has been busy and crazy, and little Mr. Ford has been a high maintenance little nugget. Fussy, fussy, fussy any time I try and rock him to sleep. After asking a bunch of people for advice, it turns out that the magic trick is to just stand up, walk him around, and sway/bounce him. Apparently he just hates sitting and being rocked to sleep with ...
Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus
Welp, I basically just had the best day of my life. Why am I posting this at 9:30 pm? Because I was busy having the best day of my life. Allow me to elaborate. Let us travel back to Tuesday morning. My doorbell rang, and there was a lady delivering flowers to me for my birthday. I take them from said lovely flower lady, go inside, and read the note. They are from my husband, and the note says for ...

Peppermint Bark Christmas Crunch
Whooooooooops sorry for my crazy absence last week! I wasn't feelin' so hot, food didn't sound good, and I couldn't bring myself to write delicious things about my recipes when they all sounded "blech" to me. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. I have three supa yummy recipes comin' your way this week, though. So...forgive me? Forgive me if I tell you all about the delicious Christmas treat that is: PEPPERMINT ...
Pumpkin Spice Granola
Alright, first of all, I've gotta give a big shout-out to my friends over at Chobani for sending me a delicious package of their products. I love representing companies that I can actually stand behind, and Chobani is definitely one of those companies! Greek yogurt is always something I have in my fridge, and Chobani is always the brand I buy. Especially now that they came out with their whole ...
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows
OKAY, people, it has taken some serious self control to wait all the way until Friday to post this recipe. I have been dying to put these marshmallows on here all week. They have just been sitting on my counter...staring at me every time I walk by...saying "Hello, look how pretty and fall-y and fluffy and delicious we are! POST US." So...I am very excited to finally be able to do so. And I have ...

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 ...
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 ...
