Peppermint Hot Chocolate Popcorn. Easy. Tasty. Wonderful for a last minute gift or party snack. The longest part of making this popcorn is waiting for the chocolate to re-harden. I love peppermint hot chocolate so much. So much. These cookies are a testament to that. And the day I discovered that homemade popcorn was as […]

Roasted Garlic Hummus. Fall is so close. SOOOOOOO close. It’s the only thing I can think about right now as I sit here praying for cooler weather. As a Seattle native, this business of weeks and weeks of over 97 degree weather has me somehow feeling depressed and super housebound. Any time I hear a droplet […]

Gingersnaps with Mango Chutney and Goat Cheese are the simplest, yet most satisfyingly flavorful little appetizers ever. And they’re pretty, to boot! I’m not sure about you, but the holidays get pretty hectic for me. I never want to go to any Christmas parties empty-handed, but I don’t exactly have all the time in the […]

Pumpkin Spice Popcorn.  I am overjoyed by the potential that the weather is cooling down. I can’t even tell you how ready I am for soup and hot chocolate days by the fireplace. I live for rain and blankets and cozy candlelight. It’s the time of weather that allows me to catch up on my […]

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Banana Crisps. These. Are. Amazing. I’m pretty much a fan of banana anything. Mix those bananas with peanut butter or chocolate and I jump for joy. Combine all three? Well there’s a recipe that will likely set me adrift on a cloud. I got these freeze dried banana crisps at Trader […]

Peach Mango Chia Pops. It’s August already! It’s sweltering hot outside and the cicadas are out in full force, chirping that odd chirp that I find so relaxing in the summer evenings.  Today I’m offering up a healthy, refreshing treat to save you from the blistering heat. Well, maybe I wouldn’t go as far as saving […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Frozen Yogurt Drops. My original Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Drops were such a huge hit that, naturally, I started thinking about other flavors to make them in. The possibilities really just go on and on, but I was really dedicated to not compromising on healthiness and/or creaminess of the drops. Part of […]

Cinnamon Cocoa Coated AlmondsI could listen to Liam Neeson talk all day long. Aaalllll dayyyyy. His voice has this smooth, velvety richness to it that I find very soothing. This morning at the gym I elected to do my elliptical workout in the movie room because I saw that Batman Begins was playing, and I love […]

Piña Colada Macadamia Nuts. Oh my goodness, everyone! It’s finally spring!!! And I say “finally,” because even though spring was apparently supposed to start a couple of weeks ago, it seems like everyone’s still been waiting on the winter to be over. Well, the good news is, you’re not alone! Because here in Charlotte, it was […]

Mexican Style Egg White PoppersHigh protein. Low carb. Tasty little morsels of awesomeness. I love ’em because they’re so versatile as far as what time of day to eat them. Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? Snack? Wham-bam, good for all four. Plus, I flip over anything I can top with Cholula. Or stick jalapeños in. Or cilantro. […]
