At a fun evening with friends, Kevin and I were able to enjoy a piece (or two or three) of this amazing, partially good-for-you apple bars. Molly and her husband are pretty health conscious, but I knew they enjoy delicious foods, which told me I would totally love this dessert. She told me they were […]
Saltine Crackers Recipe
Kevin and I have been making a conscious effort to eliminate over-processed foods from our cupboards. This is mostly an issue for me, as I am somewhat of a pretzel fiend and must keep crackers of all kinds around “just in case.” Maybe you can related. In an case, we opted to try to make our […]
Perfect Granola
originally posted May 4, 2011 I’ll always love the Peanut Butter Banana Granola and the Crunchy Almond Granola, but I have to say this is really the *perfect* granola recipe. It goes together SO quickly with so few ingredients–all of which you’re likely to have on hand (you can easily swap for other nuts or mix-ins.) […]
Low Cal Chewy Granola Bars
I know, I know, another granola bar recipe. But, friends, I was so excited to find not one but TWO recipes I really enjoyed. This version is completely different that the first recipe I shared, but even HIGHLY on the health scale. I made a few alterations to Sarah Fit’s recipe, but I left her original […]
Homemade “Fit” Granola Bars Recipe
I have been hunting for a homemade granola bar recipe that wasn’t chock full of sugar, sugar, sugar. This recipe using some sweet alternatives like light pancake syrup and Stevia, but besides those ingredients and of course a bit of peanut butter, these bars fit my bill. I love the mixture of healthy cereals and […]
No-Bake Chewy Chocolate Granola Bars Recipe
I am a sucker for anything remotely healthy, yet sweet and reasonably filling. These granola bars fit the bill (and they were the perfect option for our weekend camping trip). In just minutes your pan of granola bars is firming up on the counter top–less time than it would take to run to the store […]
Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread
I am a sucker for anything cinnamon. Thus, when I saw this sweet tasting bread on Annie’s blog, I knew it was a must-try. I didn’t even wait around for days or months; I got right in the kitchen and got that yeast working. This bread is irresistible–especially warm and toasted and topped with butter. *drool* […]
Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites Recipe
Ever since I saw Maria’s recipe for homemade soft pretzel bites, I have wanted to try my hand at them. But just like with all sweets and snacks, I needed to have a purpose for making them–otherwise Kevin and I would (and could!) eat them all ourselves. NOT good. :) Teenagers are always the best […]
Creamy, Tangy Avocado Dip Recipe
Kevin and I were a bit skeptical about the combination of yogurt and avocado, but with 5 fresh avocados in the house, we thought, “Why not?!” Boy are we glad we put on our grown-up-pants and tried Maria’s recipe! This dip is outstanding!! We love traditional guacamole, but this puts a whole new spin on […]
Pepperoni Pizza Rolls Recipe
Forget those store-bought, freezer-aisle pizza bites (or at least forget them this once :D)–this homemade alternative is almost out of this world. I shared my first batch with a couple teenage girls and we gobbled them right up. We all decided they were amazing and should definitely served as an appetizer at any party. They […]
