Dark Chocolate Coconut Bites
Let me take you back for a second- imagine it’s Halloween in the early 90s. I’m probably dressed as a black cat (it was my thing). I come home with a pillowcase full of candy and start my sorting ritual with my mom. I would hoard the peanut butter cups and Hershey bars, and I […]
Holiday Hosting for Every Appetite
Join me at MPMK today where I’m giving 5 tips to hosting guests with alternative diets, food allergies or other dietary restrictions. It doesn’t have to be a huge headache if you do a little planning. (Or it might still be a headache, but at least your guests will know you love them very much!)
Roasted and Spiced Autumn Vegetables
It’s a miracle that I have this recipe to share with you today. Not because I’m busy, but because my oven is on the fritz! The ol’ Oven Love oven is breaking down on me. Not the whole thing, oddly enough.. the stove top is still working. So weird! And so inconvenient since oven-using season […]
Roasted Chickpeas: 4 Ways
Come visit me at Modern Parents Messy Kids today! I’m sharing four variations on one of my new favorite snacks. It’s sure to make all the (big and little) tummies in your house very happy..
Peaches and Peppers
What I have for you today is simple. Just peaches and peppers. An easy side dish. It never occurred to me before that peaches might complement peppers, but somehow they do. I sauteed the peppers in grapeseed oil (you can use whatever fat you fancy) until soft and added in the thinly sliced peaches just […]
Make-Ahead Mango & Raspberry Margaritas
Long day at work? Rough day with the kids? Hot outside? Just really need a drink? These little margaritas are just the ticket. Good, cold, relaxing things come in small, glass, ready-made packages. I love this recipe! I love that you can make these hours, days or even weeks ahead of your next big party. […]
Roasted Cabbage with Quick Balsamic Reduction
So St. Patrick’s Day fast approaches.. do you celebrate? I am in the midst of planning a very lucky, very green birthday party for my 2-year-old. His party falls on St. Patrick’s this year, so we decided to embrace the theme and get our green on. As you might imagine, we won’t be serving corned […]
Farmer’s Soup with Turnips, Spinach and Butternut Squash
I have Hilton to thank for this soup. Hilton is a local farmer who has recently set up shop in our town, selling his organic vegetables to people like me who are dying to have a real farmers’ market. For $20, you bring your own bag and he fills it to the brim with produce. […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chia Bites
If you spend any time on these vast internets searching for recipes (which you probably do since you’re reading this blog), you may have noticed the trend in bite-sized snacks. There are the sweeter types like cake balls/cake pops and cookie dough balls as well as healthier versions like raw energy balls. I’ve been wanting […]
Small Batch Natural Applesauce
Hi muffins! I was making another batch of applesauce this afternoon and I realized that it’s something I’ve never shared with you. I started making this applesauce when my little guy was six months old and ready to start solid food. As you can probably guess, I wasn’t into buying pre-made baby food and instead, […]
