We all have that one thing we’re good at. Like more so than anything else. A few months ago, I learned that my thing was this amazing loaded guacamole recipe I’ve refined. It’s filled with fresh avocado, chopped onions, jalapeños, garlic and tomatoes! Oh, and there’s a sneaky secret ingredient that makes this recipe really…

Maple Roasted Chickpeas
While I was busy trying new things this week, I decided I would try to make roasted chickpeas. For some reason, I’ve been much to scared to try them. It’s ridiculous, but one of my friends posted a picture of chickpeas that she roasted a couple years ago and said that they were disgusting. I know…
Dark Chocolate Quinoa Energy Bites
It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE quick and easy recipes. Except, I like them to be healthy. And lots of times quick and easy isn’t always healthy. Quick and easy is often less healthy, less expensive, and a heck of a lot more shelf stable. Which is a total drag, man. I also love…
Award Winning Blueberry Muffins
To be fair, this recipe is 100% not of my creation, and I didn’t win any awards with it, but that doesn’t change that its merits! This is the classic and well loved Jordan Marsh blueberry muffin recipe. I just changed the sugary topping and skipped a step or two because I’m lazy. ha. I…
Hot Date Granola with Ginger, Pistachio, and Kamut

Best Vanilla Biscotti
I’m a big biscotti fan. Something about the crunchy sweetness just pairs really well with coffee, I find. Then again, there’s not many things I don’t find that go with coffee. Ha ha hashtag momlife. Those Italians were on to something! Biscotti, in it’s most basic form is simply a cookie that is baked twice….
Spicy, or not, Dill Pickled Carrots
As a kids we had it pretty good, my Memere always had the most spectacular garden. It might not have been a whole acre, but my goodness, when I was a kid, it sure felt like it! Memere always shared her bounty both fresh and canned; spicy spaghetti sauce, canned peaches and pears, jams, pickles….
Cardamom Coconut Cranberry Granola
Okay. Where has the time gone? I’m so serious. I haven’t blogged in 2 months and it feels like it’s been mere days. In May, we were in hardcore wedding mode. Kate got married in early June and May was dedicated to making her amazingly beautiful wedding just that. In June, we had the wedding, then…
3 Ingredient Popcorn Balls
I like to eat healthy, it’s important to me. But I love treats. I love carbs. I loveeeee things that are sinfully delicious. These 3 ingredient popcorn balls are no exception!! I know I called them 3 ingredient popcorn balls, but technically the base recipe is 2 ingredients, with customizable options. Who doesn’t like customized…
